Compassion? Pah!

Today, my boyfriend woke up to me crying. He asked what was wrong, but before I could answer, he'd already rolled over and started snoring louder than ever, making the migraine I was crying about even worse. FML

Then you have never had a real migraine. Hate to be the one to break it to you. A real migraine can put you in the emergency room for something to knock you out. A real migraine will make you throw up worse than a stomach virus. So take your little hot cloth and sleep on it, some people have the real thing.

You could always give him one of those *smack!* "Oh honey, you're awake"

my migraines could give two ***** whether I'm popping pills. nothing but hope and the passage of time will cure a migraine.

in my experience, crying makes it worse but it's hard not to with a migraine. I usually turn off all the lights, get a wet wash cloth, and stick it over my face and top it off with a pillow (If there's light shining thru the windows) then sleep for a while

Sounds like you cry a lot. He can't get excited about it every time. And instead of expecting him to leave so you don't hear his snoring, why didn't you leave so you can't hear his snoring and he can sleep instead of listening to you cry?

And sleep where? On the floor or couch? With migraines, head position is extremely important. Incorrect head position causes extreme pain, and bad sleep. Bad sleep is a cause of migraine.

take some medicine and butch up. no one like a wimp.

Seriously? God, the world is full of ignorant people. Migraines are a neurological disorder, believed to be caused by the unnatural activation and over excitation of the trigeminal nerve pathway. You see, the thing is that over-the-counter pain medications? Yeah, they don't fix neurological problems. They fix regular ole' headaches. They also do not fix the nausea, photophobia, and everything else that goes with migraines. Now you're right, they DO make medications which respond to migraines.... However, the only ones that work for most people are prescription, and those are very expensive. If I did not have health insurance through work, I would have to pay $200 out of pocket for 12 of my emergency migraine pill... And I have a preventative medication as well. Another thing is that, because these pills mess around with chemical levels in the brain, the effectiveness of them lessens over time, making it so that a new drug needs to be used. What happens when you've been on like 15 different pills and none of them work anymore? You suffer. And ANOTHER thing is rebound headaches. If the pill doesn't work the first time, the most obvious thing to do is to take another one later. You do this enough, and your headache will never go away because the medication is actually making it worse. As for the pain and the side effects... Did you know that people have been hospitalized for migraines? Migraines have been linked to strokes, to bell's palsy, as well as aneurysms. So please. Stop talking out of your ass. You have clearly never had a migraine. And if you have, you're clearly just being a troll.
