Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
So, last night on Halloween I got a migraine unlike anything I’ve ever experienced in yearsss. And seeing my friends see me in such suffering, made me realize that most people don’t realize what hell people with migraines go thru.
I’ve been getting migraines for about a year, much worse ones about 4 months ago than now. Now I only get a migraine every two or three weeks.
Migraines can basically be described as hell within the mind.
You enter a world of such suffering and misery, that everything is destroyed in mere hours. It feels as if a bulldozer is driving thru your brain, destroying chunks of your mind while stomping fiercely on other parts
Light only makes it worse, and so does moving and eating. Once a migraine begins, there is no stopping it until your brain has been pushed to its limit and it cracks and breaks down. No amount of advil, motrin, or weed can lessen the damage once it has begun. You simply must endure and take solace in knowing that in 3 hours, it’ll all be over.
All you can do for a person with a migraine is to make them comfortable.
Don’t move them, but instead make the spot where they are (because believe me, someone with a migraine won’t be moving anytime soon) more comfortable. Give them a pillow to lay on, or a blanket to wrap up in.
For me, when I get migraines, I just want to stop moving, a pillow, blanket, and something to lean on (like a person).
When someone gets a migraine, they basically enter a different world.
When I get a migraine, I feel as if all knowledge I have ever acquired is gone and all I can understand is rest and pain. Migraines push your brain to the breaking point, and then break it. But once everything is broken and destroyed, then things get better, its just the enduring part that is difficult.
Migraines are unexpected and cruel.
They will arrive at moments least convenient, and they will not leave until they are finished. There is no reasoning with a migraine or lessening it. It is pain and your mind has no choice but to succumb to it.
