That first hint of a migraine is an all-to-painful sensation. Commiserate here.
Most migraine sufferers may know the feeling: That first hint of pain on one side of the head, or the aura that warns something worse is on its way. Even though everyone’s migraines are different (as are everyone’s migraine triggers), that moment when a migraine starts is a painful one indeed.
No matter how you go about fending off the pain, there’s a chance you’ve thought one (or three, or all) of these things when a migraine sets in.
“No. No. Nononononono.”
“I can’t have a migraine, not today. I’ve got that [insert important, can’t-miss, career-making event here].”
“Seriously, brain. NOT. TODAY.”
“I’m so mad at my head right now.”
"Welp, comes the nausea. So much for enjoying breakfast.”
“I really, really hope I don’t throw up.”
