Ouh its been a minute since i was here, i wanna yell about migraines a bit
For like 10 years or so, I thought my top-right sinus was particularly prone to causing headaches. I would get pain behind my eye, stretching to my teeth, and my nose would get leaky.
The pain was manageable most of the time, but it was real fucking annoying.
I would try Sudafeds, which is what my mom would use for her sinus issues. I also used claritin and regular painkiller stuff.
But it wouldn’t always work.
Eventually, I go to a doctor again to review what’s going on. He tells me “sounds like a migraine, try this” and gives me the Meds That Only Work On Migraines (rizatriptan)
And sure enough, The Meds That Only Work On Migraines worked!!!!
So I am now a Migraine Haver, and tbh I still am not sure how to manage it. I know my menses and alcohol are triggers. Sometimes, the riza only works for a couple hours, and then I gotta use ibuprofen too.
And it still feels wild to go “heyyy i’m gonna have to bounce, migraine started” while standing, talking normally and stuff. I thought for years that migraines were severe.
Anyways that’s the migraine update.
