Today, I woke up with one of the worst migraines I've had in months. My mother (who thinks I'm a hypochondriac) began to scream at me about "making up an illness". When I asked for my meds, she called me an addict, and dumped my $300 prescription down the sink. FML

WORRIED

Today, I was woken up at 11:30 am by my mother standing over my bed, screaming at me. I'm 30 years-old, married, and do not live with her. She broke into my house because I didn't answer my phone, because I'm sick and on prescription sleep meds. WTF? FML

Painful

Today, I had a massive, pounding headache. I asked my mom for some painkillers and she said, "No. You don’t deserve pain relief. Ever. For anything." What? FML

Today, I found my mom throwing my very expensive and important medication down the toilet. She thought I was doing drugs. FML

Today, I was woken up to my mother screaming obscenities at me, all because I threw up last night after days of not feeling well, and the flushing of the toilet afterwards woke her up. FML

Today, my mother won't give me any painkillers for my migraine. She believes that "When medicine goes into your stomach, the acids stop the medicine from working" and that "It's all in people's heads when medicine works". FML

Today, I woke up with a high fever and hallucinations. I called for my mother, who after checking me, swore that I was just hungover from a night of partying, called me a "f*cking hedonist", and refused to help. FML

Intervention

Today, after getting my wisdom teeth pulled, I woke up from a much needed nap realizing I should take my pain medication. My mother then told me she had thrown them out so I wouldn't get addicted and become a drug dealer. FML

Today, my mother took a bunch of sleeping pills, then went driving. I followed her and dialed 911. Now she thinks that I was "trying to get her arrested," and she refuses to talk to me ever again. FML

Call CPS!

Today, after years of having seasonal allergies and months of having my throat close up, my mom agreed to see a doctor, only to insult me in front of the doctor, saying I just find new ways to make their lives harder and I'm probably making it all up. FML

Today, my mom took away my medication. She's afraid I'll get "hooked". The medication is anti-anxiety pills. I have horrible anxiety attacks that sometimes cause me to scratch my arms until they bleed. FML

I don't suffer from migraines myself, but I've been told that they're a lot worse than regular headaches. You must be ******* retarded.

Thats why I always hid my meds. I feel your pain on the $300 though to be fair mine were only $200. My insurance wouldn't cover them, they were too new. So my doc finally started hooking me up with samples.

this coming from the girl who told the doctor it's ok to accidently grope a patient, just explain yourself and all will be forgiven. here my doctored advice - have more sex, an ****** will deconstrict the blood vessels in your head, which in fact is the leading cause of migranes.

Migraine meds are a pain, they are so friggin expensive. FYL for having bad migraines and a mom who doesn't believe you, although you can in fact get addicted to migraine meds very easily. The advice given by Danish health care professionals is that if you take regular non-prescription painkillers more than 15 days a month and/or prescription migraine meds more than 10 days a month, and you get headaches daily or almost daily, you should consider looking for other options (such as de-toxing from the meds, and then using beta-blockers or meds for epilepsy as preventive medication). No matter what, when you suffer a bad migraine, you don't give a crap about this, and what your mom did was inexcusable.
