The one thing people say to me that haven't had migraines that I just can't stand! Would have to be "well they can't be THAT bad", like really?? If your reading this and you haven't had a bad migraine, or a migraine period, don't judge. Even if the person who is complaining is a bit of a crybaby, don't judge. It's just not fair to judge what you don't know. Yes they are THAT bad, not all of them but they're not a cake walk. They are very immobilizing, and there is usually a pile of crap loaded with backlash that you have to deal with if you're out a few days from one.
I can speak from experience, I don't want to seem like I'm complaining or talking in circles, but I've missed out on a lot of my teenage life because of them. I missed out on my education and have yet to receive my diploma (which I am still working on getting). I've missed out on parties and making new friends. Missed out on decent job opportunities. And the one thing that pops up in my head because of the timing, would have to be prom. I know some people think prom is stupid and for some reasons I would have to agree but I would have liked to at least have the opportunity to have gone. Not to mention having to convince everyone that you actually aren't lying, that you have a REAL problem with this. I think the thing that people forget is, you don't realize what you have until you lose it (or miss out on it). Enjoy your life, no matter what you've got going on in it.
