I was diagnosed with migraine headaches when I was a kid and they became very frequent when I started taking Wellbutrin some months ago. Ever since then I’ve been relying on weed as my go to painkiller but my plug is out of town atm and annoyingly the pain’s particularly bad this afternoon. My health anxiety is also through the roof today, i’m dealing with my usual “what if it’s brain cancer” shenanigans, especially because i had a brain scan in May and cannot afford to get another one.
Basically it’s been a rough day, I could really use some support rn and I’d really appreciate if you wrote some nice comments to make me feel less alone. Feel free to open up about how you’re feeling as well, and i’d be more than happy to reciprocate your kindness if you happen to be struggling too. Thanks in advance.
Thank you so much.
That does make sense about triptans. I try to avoid certain foods and other triggers, but I definitely feel like I would benefit from trying other forms of migraine prevention. I really insisted with my doctor to get botox injections, but he said he was against performing those on teens/young adults.
That is reassuring thanks. I’ve researched a bit about symptomatic differences between migraines and brain cancer headaches, and apparently the second seem to be most frequently accompanied by other persistent (so not like auras) neurological symptoms, for instance I think McCain experienced double vision. I also read that if my headaches fit the usual pattern I’m most likely fine, so hopefully you’re right.
Oh I’m in complete darkness browsing chapo chat on dark mode, bright lights during migraines are the worst. I’ll also listen to some ABB for the good vibes haha thanks x
