;|pain !


Hey Again,

This post today is going to be about my migraines. I have had migraines since i was in Grade 2. I am now in grade 9 so i have had them for 8 years. That's a pretty long time i would say. When i first got my migraines i was in elementary school. I use to get them every single day. I had to go to the office almost every day and about 2-3 times a week i would have to go home because they were so bad. I use to rate them on a scale of 1-10. The only way i went home if they were a 7 or higher. If they were a 10 i would have to go to the hospital. It was very frustrating having so many headaches, especially when they were really bad. It was very hard to concentrate in school because most of the time it was hard for me to keep my eyes open. As the years went on my migraines got better and i would only get them once in awhile and they wouldn't be as bad. Then they would get bad again and then get better. They have been good for about 2 years. I would get them often or have them everyday but they would be very faint and not bad. On the 28th of February my migraines started to get bad again. But they weren't just migraines anymore. They were a mixture of headaches, migraines, and sinus headaches. They were very painful and i would have them every single day. I missed a lot of school recently because of them. The doctors have never found a pill to help them yet. I have been to many other things to try and help my headaches like chiropractor, physio, naturopath, homeopathic, neurologist, Chinese medicine, etc. I have tried many other things too but none have helped. It is very hard to have a migraine almost everyday, it's very painful and difficult to deal with when pills don't work. I think the most frustrating thing out of all of this is that the doctors do not know what is wrong and how to fix it. To this day i still have migraines. It's hard to deal with the pain, but i always seem to get through them.
