Today, I was diagnosed with migraines. Any loud sounds or bright lights make it worse. I'm the drummer for a heavy metal band, so I now have to choose between really bad migraines or a career. FML

You should always out your health before most things! Remember that you only have one body, while you can have multiple careers. Fyl though, and I hope the medications are effective :) I have heard that migraines are horrible to say the last, so good luck in the future, always a lot of options left.

So what you're saying is you currently have a career that you would have to give up due to said migraines? Or, you hope to some day have a career and the migraines are hindering your possible, however unlikely future career?

Go to a chiropractor, doctors diagnose before they attempt to treat.

I'd say get your health sorted out first. I'm 14 and have had the most painful migraines for over 4 years now. Don't let it get any worse, trust me, it isn't worth it..

Too bad stopping his career won't mean his migraines don't get worse. Come on now

Actually, I took time off school as school had a major factor towards the overall effects of my migraines (the two hour long travels to and from school, stress, piles of homework and tests to study for, etc), plus taking meds actually helped and lessened them at the time. I had to continue my studies, of course, and now I have migraines everyday haha not so great, but def worked at the time, so I can see your point, but.. taking time away from the things causing you significant amounts of pain can definitely help, and the longer you work on it, the longer the pain stays away. Yeah maybe it won't work for him because all sorts of things cause headaches and migraines and every situation is completely different but come on now...

They invented migraine medication for a reason. And if you were diagnosed with migraines your doctor should have prescribed you something.

Migraine medication does not always work, and there are so many different types it will cost ridiculous amounts to find one that 'may' work

Actually u dont, ummmm what type of migraines if they are muscle tension migraines then then get frequent massages, if they are other types get on an antiepileptic medication at a low dose. Go see a neurologist so you can set it up. Wear ear plugs in the meanwhile and do not snap ur neck

Someone thumbed you down, I thumbed you back up. They are clearly ignorant. Alike most commenters here. I wish there was a cure for chronic migraines and also a cure for chronic ignorance and people comparing migraines to childbirth or dental pain seriously no comparison and I also suffer from TN...

Well, the choice of migraines or career? I would choose the third option. No career & no migraines. Nice grammar.
