I've got a migraine today. I'm not sure if it's a new one, or the same one from yesterday that started at 11 AM. I just took more painkillers - can't believe I'm not addicted to them yet. I did a little migraine math last week - I figured that I get about 10 migraines per month, which means that I get approximately 120 in a year. With 365 days in a year, I'm miserable about 33% of the year. That's insane...
I also found some cool "migraine art" that depict how a migraine feels. It's impossible to actually describe the pain, but I think these pictures do a great job. Here are my favorites:
The pain in and around the eye is unbearable...
Even the smallest bit of light can hurt...
This is how I feel after 17 hours of a migraine with no relief from any medication (including narcotic painkillers).
Looking at these pictures makes me sad.

Those graphic migraine pictures begin to tell the story of your pain, but those lucky enough to not have migraines never really know what you go through. Those pictures are quite powerful and mentally painful.
Do you ever think trying another doctor would help?
33% of the time is too much time to suffer so much. It's like 1/3 of your life is lost, frozen.
