My migraine is easily at a 9 right now. I'm in so much pain, I can't fall asleep but being awake is physically and mentally painful. I'm hoping once I get sleep ill be better because I work today and I dont want to have to call in twice in one week. But by the looks (and feel) of it, there's no way I'm going to make it in.

I made it to work today, my head still hurts but thankfully not as bad. I should be able to make it through the whole shift. Its cold outside which is helping a lot.

Bruh, my head hurts

I had to call in to work for the first time today. Only lasted 2 weeks without having to. My mom and I talked about the possibility of disability if working keeps making my head worse. Were also looking into Chiari Malformation, my moms hairdresser brought it up and a lot of the stuff matches up with me. Even if its not that, I may finally get an mri to rule stuff out.

I'm having a bad head day, and I really need to shower but I dont think ill be able to stand for that long. I have baby wipes a can at least somewhat clean my body with, but I dont know what to do with my hair. This ones bad enough that I dont think meds will help.

Work is going great so far! I havent had any headaches caused by work, I've been a bit more tired, but my body will get used to being up again.

My first day of work went really well, all the people ive met seem super nice. My next day is Friday, but my head has been bad the last 2 days. So now im really feeling like going back to work might be bad for me. But I really miss my independence

So far my 19th birthday is headache free!!!!! Hoping I stay this way all day

I had a job interview today, and I got the job! While I'm excited to be working again, I'm struggling to ignore the fear that I have that working is going to make my migraines worse again.

You are not weak for needing rest

I fell asleep with a migraine last night, and woke up to it even worse. I couldn't get out of bed, even rolling caused me too much pain, and I struggled to fall back asleep because of the pain behind my eyes. I tried to eat a small snack, but after 2 bites I felt like I was going to vomit. Most days I can power through , but today the migraines won.

I'm so excited. Osmosis Jones is on Netflix, I havent seen it since middle school health class!
