Migraines have become anew experience for me. I just spent the last six days suffering from a very bad migraine. It was behind my eyes and on the top of my head. I couldn’t see, couldn’t think and just wanted to curl in a ball and die.

I tried everything. Cold compress, aromatherapy, hydro therapy on my feet, sitting in the dark, IB Proffen, caffeine, Excedrin, and so many other things. I finally went to the walk in clinic and they gave me a shot of Demerol. I spent the rest of the day really out of it and I don’t really remember that day very much. The next day I took Hydrocodone and it made my migraine much worse, after trip to the ER, an IV and 6 different medications later I came home and slept the rest of the day.

I have been so frustrated and have gone almost a week with little to no relief. I haven’t been able to go to school or focus on anything. Getting by has been really hard and I have just spent the past few days sleeping.

On top of a migraine I have spent awhile with an upset stomach I think due to the fact that I have had a lot of medications pumped into my body in the past few days. I have been trying to pump fluid through my body but that doesn’t seem to help.

People took me to the hospital, bought me ice cream, medicine, text me to make sure I am okay, brought me flowers and cards. I appreciate everyone keeping in contact with my mom letting her know I am okay and she doesn’t need to worry.

It is crazy how long days can feel when you aren’t feeling well and you are holding your breathe minute by minute to be able to survive, to make the pain go away.

I haven’t gotten many migraines before, I got brief headaches when I was younger and have gotten a migraine before but I get them really rarely.

I am not sure what I should do to prevent them, I am not really sure how to kick this one completely I feel like I still have a little bit of lingering pain, but I think it is because I have been laying down for 4 days straight.
