My perception is that some people see the number of our sick days from work adding up and sometimes may wonder if we can be counted on... if we are just slackers, etc. It varies, but some folks just don't know what happens with chronic migraine.<br />But I'm glad that your children seemed to have helped you kiss your headaches goodbye-- yet another sweet benefit to your little ones.:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468655681800817415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422383139355516259.post-69349496681259858422012-04-14T09:59:39.465-07:002012-04-14T09:59:39.465-07:00I used to suffer from terrible headaches, some mig...I used to suffer from terrible headaches, some migraines, until I had kids, curiously.<br />Melanie, I had no idea there was stigma surrounding migraines!Laine Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13852809605433922328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422383139355516259.post-64722181535194875272012-04-11T14:04:39.553-07:002012-04-11T14:04:39.553-07:00Migraines are no laughing matter and nothing to sh...Migraines are no laughing matter and nothing to shrug off. <br /><br />You should never be embarrassed for your suffering.Just Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02861216483398553225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422383139355516259.post-82976851891354356412012-04-09T20:16:53.248-07:002012-04-09T20:16:53.248-07:00I lived with migraines all of my life, Melanie, so...I lived with migraines all of my life, Melanie, so I can totally understand. My headaches (including horrible nausea) could last from 24 hours to 5 days. It is exhausting! And I know that many people thought I was just making it up. It is a HORRIBLE way to live.<br /><br />The wonderful thing now, since I stopped having periods I have not had those same type of headaches anymore. Mild little headaches once in a while, but nothing like what it was before. I guess everyone is different.<br /><br />So you have my compassion, Amiga!<br /><br />Love, hugs and blessings,<br />~VirginiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422383139355516259.post-55255949473680343792012-04-09T11:18:49.302-07:002012-04-09T11:18:49.302-07:00Ladies, I can't tell you how much I appreciate...Ladies, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your kind and understanding comments. Headache sufferers are in most everyone's family or circle of friends. We know that migraine headaches, and in fact most headaches, are not going to be fatal. But the many of us who have them regularly (some of us since puberty) do still hope for a way to take the headache component out of our lives. As MM notes, the fact that no single treatment seems to work for everyone makes migraines especially difficult for others to understand-- the "just get over it" sentiment can prevail. <br /><br />Recently read a review of a new book by a Dr. Rizzoli, so I'd like to check his book out and write a follow-up post at some point.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468655681800817415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422383139355516259.post-86720212521314052762012-04-09T11:08:03.857-07:002012-04-09T11:08:03.857-07:00My migraines are pretty few and far between--often...My migraines are pretty few and far between--often only one or two a year and I've never had one last longer than 24 hours. But I know how overwhelming they can be and how they render a person completely non-functional. As JT said, I would never think less of person suffering from migraines and doing whatever it takes (including nothing) to make it through. <br /><br />The people who know what works for someone else can sometimes be the worst because they don't accept that the same things don't work for everyone--and that fact is not the fault of the sufferer even a tiny bit.Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422383139355516259.post-83748810615878673942012-04-07T16:37:58.268-07:002012-04-07T16:37:58.268-07:00I have had migraines before but much more often I ...I have had migraines before but much more often I live with a low grade headache - an almost constant throb at work, especially. Most days I start my day with excedrin and sometimes take a second dose at lunchtime. Sleep helps as does a glass of wine at night. I VEVER think less of a person who is dealing with migraines or any kind of headache. I, too, do my best to NOT mention the headache at work (though a couple of people with whom I work can tell when I am covering it up).Graciewildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142582724233027386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422383139355516259.post-68456121032919985962012-04-07T11:37:10.035-07:002012-04-07T11:37:10.035-07:00My mother suffered terrible migraines till she was...My mother suffered terrible migraines till she was in her mid-60s. I don't think they went away, I think she's on so many different medications now that one of them (or the combination, possibly) is preventing their occurrence. Or maybe it was hormonal all along...<br /><br />I wouldn't know how it would look like to someone who is completely unaware, but for me, it was painful to watch her suffer without any relief in sight.

I don't get migraines, but I have periods of time when I have nearly constant headaches that are relieved only by taking prescription meds that make me very tired. Some is hormonal, some is just tension. It's incredibly frustrating and sort of embarrassing sometimes when I have to bow out of things because I have a headache - it sounds so lame but it can be really horrible.Sharon Greenthalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341769570752679625noreply@blogger.com
