At my workplace I asked what to do if I had a migraine. They said just tough it out and use break time if you have to. 15 mins is not enough. Im sure if they had experienced one, they'd feel otherwise.
Yes yes and yes its one of those things that you have to experience to understand. At work I was so unwell once that I was sick in a dust bin thankfully I was alone in the office at the time...
Yea people just think it’s a bad headache but it’s not. It makes you feel sick and faint. I remember one time my sister said she had a migraine once and I’m like “no u didn’t. There’s this thing called a bad headache”
The worst thing is having to work for people who has never had a migraine. They simply don't understand when you have to call in sick, because it's " just a headache". -.-
Carrorolen true I experienced this now I have a vascular head ache and the left side of my brain its always aching I cant go out of the bed also painkiller is not working anymore

And when you sleep after a long war with ur throbbing pain when you wake up in the middle of night,its like waking up in the middle of a surgery. Its painful. 🤧
i went to the nurse one day at school because of a migraine (mind you i went because i couldnt focus or anything). While i was saying i had a migraine, she told me to lie down and tried to tell me i didnt get migraines. I literally looked at her and said "I went to a pediatric neurologist when I was 9, i was diagnosed with migraines (its been 5 years). Do not tell me im wrong". She said the doctors were wrong. I dont think ive ever been more disappointed in a nurse in a long time. smh
I hated school nurses! I had a migraine once in 7th grade during lunch and had to lay down and cover my face this lady acted like I was just trying to get out of class so she had me try to call my mom on the school phone. But I couldn’t concentrate on how to dial out so I called her on my cell and handed it to the nurse and waited. When my mom got there she stated she was suspicious me potentially using drugs luckily my mom knew what was up and told her off.
I've been dealing with severe chronic migraines since 7th grade(approx. 6-7 years). It was really hard in school because nobody took my pain seriously. I remembered being out of class for 5 straight days because the pain was so severe and nothing helped. It didn't help that my counselor (ya know the person who is "supposed" to be there to help you) told me that I needed to suck it up because in the real world nobody would care. It wasn't until my mom brought in the 3rd letter from my neurologist they finally took me seriously. (The school said they didn't have a note on file but my mom took in the notes herself. My counselor just didn't like me). I've had to see a neurologist and a headache specialist since the beginning because of how bad they are. Thank you for creating this video and spreading more knowledge about the subject, it really means a lot
A V darn it I was in the same exact situation as yours when I was in grade 7 I couldn't go to school for 2 weeks, and if I'd go I would be spending the entire day at nurses, expect when mom took me to doctor they kept redirecting me from one to another.
Someone says Migraines are not as bad as headaches me: Bull shit you try not to cry while it feels like your eyes and going to pop and you can't move or get help at all I've been taking medicine now 2 types and I've had migraines for 7 years and 3 migraines every week
You mean like a cluster headache? (Also called a suicide headache.) Also, migraine has nothing to do with pain severity. I've pretty much always got a mild migraine (a 1 - 3/10), but do get severe ones. Not everyone with migraines go up to 10/10 pain at all, however.
I used to deal with migraines daily, and it was horrible. I'd cry due to how horrific they were and had to be prescribed with medication that eventually stopped working and had to go to a new medication. luckily when I moved out of my aunt's house the migraines died down and eventually went away. We think the bathroom in my room which had a huge crack on the roof may have been growing black mold... I lived in it for over 2 years. it was horrible.
The CrYPtic Ri0 I’d suggest talking to your parents about inspecting your bathroom and any other places in case (If you haven’t already), cause it can definitely be environmental. 😩 I still get some bad migraines now-a-days, but they’re no where near as awful as they were when I lived in the mold. 😭 Not to mention, I’ve heard living in black mold for too long can cause really serious health problems! So it’s not something to take lightly. 😖
@@kevina8071 Surprisingly enough, this comes with an update on my health! My pain didn’t return for a good 4 years until last year around mid 2021. It came back ten fold and it had me in tears for over a month. I would wake up in the middle of the night experiencing so much pain in my right eye that it made my teeth and neck ache, I regularly found myself in the middle of the night sitting on the floor of my bathroom sweating but feeling cold and having sweats only in the right side of my face. It honestly felt like I’d pass out if it got any worse. I began doing research, and found out that many people have been misdiagnosed with Chronic Migraines, only to later find out they are suffering from a thing called Cluster Headaches. :’) which I believe is what I may actually have. They typically come at random and last for weeks or months depending on the person (mine lasted about a month and a half before subsiding), I recently got my healthcare taken care of and will be getting tests done on it hopefully to see if that could be the case.😅
yes, but imagine having migraines everyday. Welcome to my life. I have chronic migraines and everyone always says "come on it's just a headache" the worst part? I'm still in school. I miss so much I will probably fail
Hello, can you please describe the daily migraines? Bc i think i have it too but idk I’m confused... like do you hava headaches everyday but it gets worse on somedays?(when the attack happens) or is it just everyday you get an attack? (Attack is the strong pain that cant get you out of bed with nausea+vomiting? Please describe the daily headaches for me? At least the severity of the pain
I wish all the people in my life would watch this video so they understand what I go through living with chronic migraines, none of my friends understand
Wowww this video is awesome!!! I'm a lifelong migraine sufferer and wow I find this video sooooooo right on. I hope many many non-migraine sufferers see this!!!!!
I once had a weird migraine where it was on the right side of my head, and keep in mind this was my first migraine and it was the ones where you don't get a warning and it just happens, and I legit CRYED I layer in bed, kept flipping my pillow to the cold sides and putting the right side of my head on it, desperately watching TH-cam videos on how to cure migraines, none of them worked, it lasted about 2 and a half hours and then it stopped for like 20 seconds, THEN I GOT A MIGRAINE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF MY HEAD, same thing, accept it only lasted like 45 minutes, pfft, seriously one of the worst 3 hours of my life.
Woah! Please be careful with that information, because it can be misleading. You might fool some people into thinking they don't have migraines. The degree of disability vary and the pain too. Does it have to be throbbing? Nope. Can you manage to go to work on a migraine? Maybe, depends on the severity.
So much this. I have two different "types" of pain -- one throbbing, one not. One with photo-sensitivity, one not. One is a dull mild to moderate pain, the other is a moderate to severe pain. I honestly thought I had both headaches AND migraines. My neurologist (a headache/migraine specialist) said both types were migraines for me.
yes, you are right, most of the time mine are not as bad as not being able to go out of my house, but it hurt and its also very hard to do stuff like studying(can't focus)...
I've had migraines since I was 4 (I'm now 15) they last for about three days minimum. I can't do anything cause of the pain and because I'm constantly throwing up. it really annoys me when I'm in class and someone says they have a 'migraine' when they really don't. and you can tell they don't and your not just assuming.
I get pains on both temples and before the pain my vision goes all blurry however I never through up although I feel a little bit sick.... Please tell me if I keep on getting migraines or headaches
Im young 16 years and I started experiencing mine around about 14 and since then I lived with them. It really does suck to hear adults at my school say "I get mingraine too and you dont see me complaining and not showing up for work" and it really does bug me but it's just something I got to deal with for 2 more years.
This is so very true. I'm really sick of the people who call their headache a migraine. They wouldn't be doing what they do if it was a true migraine. You can't work through a migraine either as the pain is so incredibly bad. I probably will end up dieing one day from these migraines, one way or another.
I've had migraines since I was 5 years old (I'm 15 now). I see a neurologist now and am on medication to help stop my migraines from happening and naproxen usually helps the migraines. My migraines are still as severe when I do get them, but I went from getting them 3 times a week to 3 times a month. I had one today. I had to take 2 naproxen today to relieve it. I took some in the morning before school cuz I woke up with it. That helped a small amount (still a small headache). I got home and it had come back, but worse than it was in the morning. I had to take another naproxen even though you can only take another pill after 12 hours of taking the first one I had to take it. I had to take a nap to alleviate the pain, but still I'm left with acute pain and nausea. I'd like to say I'm used to it by now, but that would be a lie.
I never was the kind of person to have headaches, not even when I was sick. But like four months ago, I started to get headaches so severe I couldn’t go to school anymore most of the days. Yep, turned out I had migraines. The bad thing was, they always accured around the beginning of the week, so monday, tuesday and wednesday, which were also the longest school days. Everyone, including my own dad, thought i was skipping school. Even now after several medical appointments he still doesn’t believe me, it’s just „take some pain blockers and push through it“. Yeah.. if I could get out of bed.
I know exactly how it feels when smn says:JUST A HEADACHE made stay indoors the whole day. ITS NOT JUST A HEADACHE .I'm from Kenya n I suffer migraines thanks for the video.I wish all parents ,teachers and employers in Kenya could see this video
I had a migraine yesterday. I was in English class, and my head started pounding. I felt sick. And patterns were everywhere. No one would help me not even my friends. I could barely see or walk, so I began to cry. My teacher send me to first aid and I threw up outside of class... my mom picked me up and I threw up more than 10 times more after that. Luckily I’m ok now... 🤒😭
Migrane is not a simple headache it brings variety of diseases along with itself. Complex migranes are more complicated than anything. Some complex migrane can cause high level anxiety and clinical depression and also can cause various panic attacks. Aural migrane are much more worse which can cause you to disable temporarily from writing, speaking or hearing. Migrane also causes a type of stomach disease . As a sufferer of early complex migrane my life was hell and i observed every detail about it
My mum suffers from hemiplegic migraines. When I was little I wanted to talk to her when she had a migraine, I didn't really understand how much pain she was in until I had my first migraine about 2 years ago. They are horrible things!
Have a severe one today, it woke me up from my sleep the pain was so bad I wanted to take my eyes out and I was throwing up none stop but now im better thank god
note that types is plural. i just wanted to bring attention to the fact that there are headaches beyond common everyday ones that are severe and abnormal. i was actually thinking Chiari-specific headaches, but cluster headaches are a big one too.
One of the worst this is when You say you have migraine problem and others will say “me too” but they have no idea about the difference between headache and migraine 😤
I finally saw a neurologist bec my migraines are attacking me monthly and the pain is getting worst. I have to take a day off of work , leave early or waste my day off bec I’m in pain. It’s horrible. I’m nauseous and can’t eat. Can’t tolerate light or sound No one will understand unless they had a migraine. I take prescription pills now and will take an EEG. Its feel like needle going through my brain. I don’t want to explain more bec I’m still in pain and will feel worst. 😰😥😓😨
I had a migrane in 6th grade in the middle of my major final test. It hurt so much I cried and I had to be escorted to the nurse's office to vomit and get a ride from my mom, who was 2hrs away.
My boyfriend suffers from migraines and I feel so bad when he gets them. He recently just started suffering from them and his migraine last all day. I hope they don't get worse :(
I've had migranes since I was in preschool. When I was a kid I was (unknowingly) super empathetic when someone had a headache because I didn't unterstand that all they might have to do is to drink a glass of water and get some fresh air.
I’ve been dealing with migraines ever since I was 5th grader I just didn’t realize what a migraine was until I did I my own research which would explain the sensitivity to light and me feeling nauseous every time I wake up in the morning and the one sided headache I have everytime.I even remember 6th grade year having the worst possible migraine I ever experienced to the point that I was crying on the floor to how badly it gotten especially it getting worse with the light 💡 😖😖
Once I had a migraine and I went to the nurse and came straight back after taking my medicine. When I come back, everyone is looking at me weird and it just makes me feel worse because I also have anxiety about people talking about me. So this guy that sits next to me (I don’t like him AT ALL) asked me why I left and came back so fast. I said u wouldn’t understand cause to people without migraines say “oh it’s just a headache” well no it’s not. So do some research about it
I get daily headaches are usually don’t go away. It’s just part of chronically ill. Yes I’m not classified as a migraine but it hurts just like a migraine.
Maintain a migraine journal to find the food triggers . The guy I like has frequent headaches . I want to help him out so m here looking for migraine symptoms and triggers. And there's a channel for migraine I forgot its name but therethey said don't consume caffeine and lifestyle changes will help a lot. Start from eliminating food that triggers migraine
Lately I've been having headaches that go through my eye and out my neck like there's a bar going through my head. Sometimes light and sound bothers me, sometimes not. Sometimes they make me sick, sometimes not. I never realized they were migraines until today when I literally couldn't go to school this morning.
My classmate doesn't like wearing their glasses and described a migraine and a teacher told them that they were getting migraines and needed to wear their glasses
I feel like jumping off a bridge when I get my devastating migraines. I just want it to be over through the midst of pain, tears and screaming because I can no longer tolerate the pain. It’s beyond any pain that I know.
the worst thing about my migraines is that i get them so so often i still have to get up and do stuff and i will feel so ridiculously ill throughout the whole day that i can’t function properly
I suffer the same as jenny, can't leave my bed, pain killers don't work, light and sound are unbareable, but the difference is its not just one side of my head, it's all over, so I'm not convinced it's a migraine so I call it a headache but it sucks just as bad
I learned that turning off the lights DOES help and I use a wet cold rag, fold it in half, lay down facing straight up (sometimes leaning my head back more) and hold the rag on my head, and then I calm down and breathe. If you don't have access to rags then looking up and mildly squeezing the side of the pain with your eyes closed also helps Edit: walking outside and getting air at night can also help. And nowadays when I have a migraine I absolutely do not lay down until I've dealt with it no matter how tired I am because bending to lay down causes tension in your head and will only make it worse
i have chronic migraines and have to take meds every night for them. when i was first diagnosed my doctor gave me ibuprofen and other headache meds but none of them were strong enough and they didn't seem to realize that migraines aren't just headaches.
I'd like to give you some ideas for more videos like this. My suggestions are: Night Terrors vs Nightmares Cluster Headaches vs Migraines (without underestimate migraines and regular headaches) Tantrums vs Autism Meltdowns Phobia vs Fear Adicctions vs Hobbies Remember that this are only suggestions that I'd like to see. Greetings
i don't have migraines very often but i did get sick once and i got them I was nauseous and i as sensitive to sound I cant even imagine living with constant migraines
I know alot of people who claim they have migraines and it's like.....no you don't that's just a headache 😕 same with how I personally have ocd and I get the comment "I have ocd to I need to have my towels folded right" it's like no Becky that's just called being organized 🤦♀️
I suffer from migraines, diagnosed. Not all migraines are like this. Mine are quite mild in comparison to other people’s, but ibuprofen usually works for mine. Yah there are some awful episodes but for migraines can vary in severity
Can you please do one of these for the differences with someone who has scoliosis? I suffer from it and I don't think a lot of people understand how bad it can be and the effects.
I’m a college student once in health class I had a severe migraine during the lesson I began to cry and felt nauseated I was in so much pain in my dorm room I lay down for an hour couldn’t even fall asleep it’s hurts that much I couldn’t stop vomiting unexpectedly in the bathroom and I felt like I was dying it’s was a terrible experience.😣
This will be long but just read lol. I get migraines probably 5-10 times in a year. I always get aura with mine that lasts for about 20-30 minutes before the actual migraine starts. Let me just say, it is the worst pain I have ever felt in my entire life. I always end up vomiting when I get one. I lay in the dark and cry. I try to go to sleep so it will go away but it’s extremely difficult. Once I fall sort of asleep, when I wake up the migraine is gone, but my head is super sore for the next day. When I cough, or bend over or do anything that strains my head it hurts that one side of my head the migraine was on. Nobody truly understands the pain unless you really get one. I missed my junior prom night because as soon as I got there, my vision started going blurry which was the aura. I TRIED so hard to tough it out, but I couldn’t bare. I ended up in the school parking lot throwing up, and had to leave early. I was devastated. At one point in my life, around middle school, I was getting them very frequently. I would get them 1-2 times a week. It was TERRIBLE. One of the worst ones I got was when my whole body went numb, and I was throwing up, and the pain on that one side of my head was EXCRUCIATING (they are always excruciating tho). I ended up in the ER that night because the pain was so bad. They sent me to get a cat scan on my brain because I was getting them so frequently. Everything came back normal thankfully. Once in high school I didn’t get them near as much for some reason. For those of you that suffer with migraines, I feel you. I understand. And for those that don’t, be glad you don’t have to go through them. I have never had one that lasted more than 24 hours, so props to those that have to endure one for over 24 hours! No way I could endure the pain that long.
Migraine is the worst pain. I get headache and migraines. When I get a migraine I feel like I have acid on my head and everything is blurry and nothing I take works. Upset sumptritan has been very helpful. Nothing will understand the pain of a migraine unless they have had one. It is not a headache. I can manage a headache but a migraine you can't do almost anything because the pain is so strong and u r so dizzy and nauseous and the room feels like it's spinning. The only thing you can do is sleep.
I get migraines 2-3x a day! Horrible life... I had it because of a stressful even that happened a year ago, it’s just because of 9 hours traveling and after that i had a headache for a week and it never go away, i went to a neurologist and I was diagnosed of migraine and muscle tension. I have to take sleeping pills every night to just sleep because of so much pain in my head.
This video is ntg compared to my migrane 💔💔💔💔!! Yes I have Migrane too n it's soooooooooooo painful 💔💔💔💔💔💔!! I feel like I wanna throw away my brain out of my head n my eyes too 💔
I m going thru migraine from 2 days constantly. Just now i listening to binureal beats. In 2 weeks,i have to attend exam for which i study so hard, and made timetable but 2 days are gone bcoz of migraine, 3rd day now, so depression is different and plus that dead and negative feeling whenever i get migraine. I feel lowest low and negative that i m zero in life. It sucks.. Now i m also searching for TENS machine coz this medication is too much, sometimes i scare that my kidney will fail. I really want some stimulation or massage thing on migraine.
I get migranes. It sucks because I get blurred, fuzzy eyesight, sweat, pale skin, throbbing pain, nausea, and most of the time Im very close to fainting. Teachers never understand when I tell them I have a migrane and need to go home so I have to sit at my desk until between periods to go to the nurse. Yes its prescribed and yes I have meds but they take sooo long to work 😑
Worst migraine I got was half my head, damn it felt horrible and it took me a full hour to finally fall asleep, it does not go away with sleep just time, well for me
My mother gets migraines almost everyday. I’m getting them to. They hurt. My mother takes so many pills. I hope that one day I won’t have to take many pills.
I don’t know what the heck I get then because I get symptoms of both. My entire head is pounding, I’m sensitive to light and sound, it’s kinda hard to sleep but I don’t feel at all nauseated, I simply don’t want food Also Advil helps in like 5-10 mins
I suffer from chronic migraines, and whenever I get them, it's unbearable. It feels like I'm going to throw up any second, every second. Even breathing causes pulsing in my temples.
I don't know what to think about these types of videos... The "migraines vs headaches" and "anxiety vs stress" and so on, trying to tell people that they shouldn't think they have it worse than you. Someone with stress can relate, somewhat, to someone with anxiety. And someone with a headache can relate, somewhat, to someone with a migraine. So why is it so important to point out how much such worse you have it?
Waiting on the sun did you not pay attention to the video? It's not about saying "yeah well I have it worse" it's about spreading awareness about migraine and how severe they actually are, and making sure people don't just pass them off as a 'headache'. My school are giving me shit over staying home due to migraines, and with videos like these, people will start to understand that migraines aren't just headaches. It's showing the differences between them. A headache does not relate to a migraine whatsoever, it's not even similar.
Maybe I didn't understand the purpose of the video. I'm not saying that people shouldn't recognize that migraines are a real thing. But I, as someone who suffers from migraines and anxiety, have been met with the "I get headaches too" or "I get stressed too" a couple of times. People are not saying these things because they don't understand - they say it because they are trying to relate! And I think it is a wonderful thing that we live in a world where people do try to relate. That's why I don't understand the video.
Thank you, and yes it definitely depends on the severeness of the migraine or headache. +Max Robert Oh gosh, hope something like that doesn't happen again! sounds horrible .3. Thank you :)
I have chronic daily migraines since I was 10; now I am 32. I am unable to work or have a productive life because of them. Headaches: you can still be productive with your day and simply take a medicine without a doctor prescription. Migraine: your day is thrown off and cannot to anything because everything bothers you. Your body shuts down. Doctors have to prescribe medicines because Advil will not work. Actually medicines do not work. So I think this video is very helpful to educate people about headaches vs migraines. I wish I had a headache instead of a migraine. I have daily chronic pain from migraines. I had one person tell me she rather give birth again than have another migraine. This woman only had one migraine.
the worst part is that no one except the people who have experienced them understand
honey lavender bakery Very true.
At my workplace I asked what to do if I had a migraine. They said just tough it out and use break time if you have to. 15 mins is not enough. Im sure if they had experienced one, they'd feel otherwise.
I agree....its way painful than it sounds
Yes yes and yes its one of those things that you have to experience to understand. At work I was so unwell once that I was sick in a dust bin thankfully I was alone in the office at the time...
Yea people just think it’s a bad headache but it’s not. It makes you feel sick and faint. I remember one time my sister said she had a migraine once and I’m like “no u didn’t. There’s this thing called a bad headache”
Depression isn’t “sadness,” anxiety isn’t “fear,” and a migraine isn’t just a “headache.” And I get all three.
You got tension headache.
- some troll doctor
The worst thing is having to work for people who has never had a migraine. They simply don't understand when you have to call in sick, because it's " just a headache". -.-

Also, migraine has nothing to do with pain severity. I've pretty much always got a mild migraine (a 1 - 3/10), but do get severe ones. Not everyone with migraines go up to 10/10 pain at all, however.

I began doing research, and found out that many people have been misdiagnosed with Chronic Migraines, only to later find out they are suffering from a thing called Cluster Headaches. :’) which I believe is what I may actually have. They typically come at random and last for weeks or months depending on the person (mine lasted about a month and a half before subsiding), I recently got my healthcare taken care of and will be getting tests done on it hopefully to see if that could be the case.😅
I have a migraine right now
Whenever you have a migraine, get off any electronics, and get some rest if possible.
MerpMeow but i dont want to
I have a headache
I have a migraine and I can’t do almost anything
Mání Monét me too
Since yesterday
yes, but imagine having migraines everyday. Welcome to my life. I have chronic migraines and everyone always says "come on it's just a headache" the worst part? I'm still in school. I miss so much I will probably fail
Jorja Harakal i get every bit of what you mean .I hv migraines too
I used to have migraines everyday too. But finally after 6 years they’re going to about 2-3 times a week
Jorja Harakal same with me everybody jokes around about them. I almost failed Middle School because i missed so much school.
Me too
Hello, can you please describe the daily migraines? Bc i think i have it too but idk I’m confused... like do you hava headaches everyday but it gets worse on somedays?(when the attack happens) or is it just everyday you get an attack? (Attack is the strong pain that cant get you out of bed with nausea+vomiting? Please describe the daily headaches for me? At least the severity of the pain
aaaaa thank you i have chronic migraines and i HATE it when people say “oh it’s just a migraine, take some advil”
I wish all the people in my life would watch this video so they understand what I go through living with chronic migraines, none of my friends understand
Wowww this video is awesome!!! I'm a lifelong migraine sufferer and wow I find this video sooooooo right on. I hope many many non-migraine sufferers see this!!!!!
I once had a weird migraine where it was on the right side of my head, and keep in mind this was my first migraine and it was the ones where you don't get a warning and it just happens, and I legit CRYED I layer in bed, kept flipping my pillow to the cold sides and putting the right side of my head on it, desperately watching TH-cam videos on how to cure migraines, none of them worked, it lasted about 2 and a half hours and then it stopped for like 20 seconds, THEN I GOT A MIGRAINE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF MY HEAD, same thing, accept it only lasted like 45 minutes, pfft, seriously one of the worst 3 hours of my life.
Woah! Please be careful with that information, because it can be misleading. You might fool some people into thinking they don't have migraines. The degree of disability vary and the pain too. Does it have to be throbbing? Nope. Can you manage to go to work on a migraine? Maybe, depends on the severity.
So much this.
I have two different "types" of pain -- one throbbing, one not. One with photo-sensitivity, one not. One is a dull mild to moderate pain, the other is a moderate to severe pain. I honestly thought I had both headaches AND migraines.
My neurologist (a headache/migraine specialist) said both types were migraines for me.
Thanks. :)
yes, you are right, most of the time mine are not as bad as not being able to go out of my house, but it hurt and its also very hard to do stuff like studying(can't focus)...
erksp You are correct! There is a very thin line between a headache and a migraine. Like so many things, it’s a spectrum.
Melissa Horn Not true at all. It effects your brain in a very different way.
I've had migraines since I was 4 (I'm now 15) they last for about three days minimum. I can't do anything cause of the pain and because I'm constantly throwing up. it really annoys me when I'm in class and someone says they have a 'migraine' when they really don't. and you can tell they don't and your not just assuming.
pour me a glass of jin Mine lasted a week and I couldn’t go to school I threw up and stayed in bed 24/7!
I know exactly how you feel. It makes you angry when they do that.
I don't throw up but I understand your pain
Ugh same
I get pains on both temples and before the pain my vision goes all blurry however I never through up although I feel a little bit sick.... Please tell me if I keep on getting migraines or headaches
Exactly! People don't seem to understand
Im young 16 years and I started experiencing mine around about 14 and since then I lived with them. It really does suck to hear adults at my school say "I get mingraine too and you dont see me complaining and not showing up for work" and it really does bug me but it's just something I got to deal with for 2 more years.
This is so very true. I'm really sick of the people who call their headache a migraine. They wouldn't be doing what they do if it was a true migraine. You can't work through a migraine either as the pain is so incredibly bad. I probably will end up dieing one day from these migraines, one way or another.
*starts to sing Migraine*
_clarissa_ same
violet aye clique! Stay alive fren |-/
_clarissa_ |-/ you too fren!
_clarissa_ hi fren |-/
Randøm Fren salutations fren |-/
The worst part is when you get it at school you tell the teacher and she ignores you 'youl be sent home if y oh vomit'...
I've had migraines since I was 5 years old (I'm 15 now). I see a neurologist now and am on medication to help stop my migraines from happening and naproxen usually helps the migraines. My migraines are still as severe when I do get them, but I went from getting them 3 times a week to 3 times a month. I had one today. I had to take 2 naproxen today to relieve it. I took some in the morning before school cuz I woke up with it. That helped a small amount (still a small headache). I got home and it had come back, but worse than it was in the morning. I had to take another naproxen even though you can only take another pill after 12 hours of taking the first one I had to take it. I had to take a nap to alleviate the pain, but still I'm left with acute pain and nausea. I'd like to say I'm used to it by now, but that would be a lie.
I wish you good health and happiness
I hate migraines! :(
But I love the song Migraine lol
I never was the kind of person to have headaches, not even when I was sick. But like four months ago, I started to get headaches so severe I couldn’t go to school anymore most of the days. Yep, turned out I had migraines. The bad thing was, they always accured around the beginning of the week, so monday, tuesday and wednesday, which were also the longest school days. Everyone, including my own dad, thought i was skipping school. Even now after several medical appointments he still doesn’t believe me, it’s just „take some pain blockers and push through it“. Yeah.. if I could get out of bed.
I know exactly how it feels when smn says:JUST A HEADACHE made stay indoors the whole day. ITS NOT JUST A HEADACHE .I'm from Kenya n I suffer migraines thanks for the video.I wish all parents ,teachers and employers in Kenya could see this video
I had a migraine yesterday. I was in English class, and my head started pounding. I felt sick. And patterns were everywhere. No one would help me not even my friends. I could barely see or walk, so I began to cry. My teacher send me to first aid and I threw up outside of class... my mom picked me up and I threw up more than 10 times more after that. Luckily I’m ok now... 🤒😭
Migrane is not a simple headache it brings variety of diseases along with itself. Complex migranes are more complicated than anything. Some complex migrane can cause high level anxiety and clinical depression and also can cause various panic attacks. Aural migrane are much more worse which can cause you to disable temporarily from writing, speaking or hearing. Migrane also causes a type of stomach disease . As a sufferer of early complex migrane my life was hell and i observed every detail about it
My mum suffers from hemiplegic migraines. When I was little I wanted to talk to her when she had a migraine, I didn't really understand how much pain she was in until I had my first migraine about 2 years ago. They are horrible things!
I feel like Literally killing myself when headache s occur
AYAZ AHMAD I would rather have a headache once week than have a migraine once a month
I have always a headache, and I have difficulty to get out of my bed, but when my mom screams, I'd like :I'm awake, mom!
THIS. i don't suffer from migraines but so many people i know overuse the term. stuff like that bugs me, so i'm glad videos like these exist.
Have a severe one today, it woke me up from my sleep the pain was so bad I wanted to take my eyes out and I was throwing up none stop but now im better thank god
as a person who constantly gets migraines I will tell you this right now, migraines are MUCH worse then headaches
It's important to be aware that there are types of non-migraine headaches that are just as severe as migraines. This video doesn't apply to all cases.
Hannah I'm sure there's another name for them
Trigeminal Autonomic Cephalalgias: what you're likely thinking of is cluster headaches, which are the most severe TAC.
note that types is plural. i just wanted to bring attention to the fact that there are headaches beyond common everyday ones that are severe and abnormal. i was actually thinking Chiari-specific headaches, but cluster headaches are a big one too.
Hannah Yes, they're not simply called headaches.
lol i said "headaches" because they are all types of headaches
I get migraines BUT I also have chronic tension headaches it sucks
Eyyy! Welcome on board the pain ship. Its gonna be a nausiating ride!
I feel this video! I am 12 and have had migranes since I was 7
One of the worst this is when You say you have migraine problem and others will say “me too” but they have no idea about the difference between headache and migraine 😤
Finally! Someone who understands!
This is what I’m going through and it’s pure HELL!!!!!! Add on depression and anxiety!!!! 😖😖😖😖
I finally saw a neurologist bec my migraines are attacking me monthly and the pain is getting worst. I have to take a day off of work , leave early or waste my day off bec I’m in pain. It’s horrible. I’m nauseous and can’t eat. Can’t tolerate light or sound No one will understand unless they had a migraine. I take prescription pills now and will take an EEG. Its feel like needle going through my brain. I don’t want to explain more bec I’m still in pain and will feel worst. 😰😥😓😨
NycBeauty Unfortunately I know exactly how you feel😫!
the worst thing about migraine is taking a nap hoping it will go away, but u wake up and its still there
I had a migrane in 6th grade in the middle of my major final test. It hurt so much I cried and I had to be escorted to the nurse's office to vomit and get a ride from my mom, who was 2hrs away.
Some people think we made up the pain we go through when we have migraine. Like " it's just a headache"
My boyfriend suffers from migraines and I feel so bad when he gets them. He recently just started suffering from them and his migraine last all day. I hope they don't get worse :(
I've had migranes since I was in preschool. When I was a kid I was (unknowingly) super empathetic when someone had a headache because I didn't unterstand that all they might have to do is to drink a glass of water and get some fresh air.
I’ve been dealing with migraines ever since I was 5th grader I just didn’t realize what a migraine was until I did I my own research which would explain the sensitivity to light and me feeling nauseous every time I wake up in the morning and the one sided headache I have everytime.I even remember 6th grade year having the worst possible migraine I ever experienced to the point that I was crying on the floor to how badly it gotten especially it getting worse with the light 💡 😖😖
Finally someone said it! Thank you!
My migraines started at the age of 7...i used to go to the hospital, cuz i was in so much pain... Now i am 12 And its slowly getting worse....
How you doing
Once I had a migraine and I went to the nurse and came straight back after taking my medicine. When I come back, everyone is looking at me weird and it just makes me feel worse because I also have anxiety about people talking about me. So this guy that sits next to me (I don’t like him AT ALL) asked me why I left and came back so fast. I said u wouldn’t understand cause to people without migraines say “oh it’s just a headache” well no it’s not. So do some research about it
I get daily headaches are usually don’t go away. It’s just part of chronically ill. Yes I’m not classified as a migraine but it hurts just like a migraine.
im appreciating these adult pbs skits :)
Maintain a migraine journal to find the food triggers .
The guy I like has frequent headaches . I want to help him out so m here looking for migraine symptoms and triggers. And there's a channel for migraine I forgot its name but therethey said don't consume caffeine and lifestyle changes will help a lot. Start from eliminating food that triggers migraine
This video is so accurate ✨
Lately I've been having headaches that go through my eye and out my neck like there's a bar going through my head. Sometimes light and sound bothers me, sometimes not. Sometimes they make me sick, sometimes not. I never realized they were migraines until today when I literally couldn't go to school this morning.
I've had a migraine for 4 hours now, I've been having them all week all of the sudden.
My classmate doesn't like wearing their glasses and described a migraine and a teacher told them that they were getting migraines and needed to wear their glasses
Im just 14 and have migranes, it kinda sucks but its been pretty common in my family
The difference is throwing up. And shaking or getting the chills or sweating/hot flashes.
I feel like jumping off a bridge when I get my devastating migraines. I just want it to be over through the midst of pain, tears and screaming because I can no longer tolerate the pain. It’s beyond any pain that I know.
the worst thing about my migraines is that i get them so so often i still have to get up and do stuff and i will feel so ridiculously ill throughout the whole day that i can’t function properly
I suffer the same as jenny, can't leave my bed, pain killers don't work, light and sound are unbareable, but the difference is its not just one side of my head, it's all over, so I'm not convinced it's a migraine so I call it a headache but it sucks just as bad
I have the vertigo side of migranes. That come with auras. They're so much fun
I learned that turning off the lights DOES help and I use a wet cold rag, fold it in half, lay down facing straight up (sometimes leaning my head back more) and hold the rag on my head, and then I calm down and breathe. If you don't have access to rags then looking up and mildly squeezing the side of the pain with your eyes closed also helps
Edit: walking outside and getting air at night can also help. And nowadays when I have a migraine I absolutely do not lay down until I've dealt with it no matter how tired I am because bending to lay down causes tension in your head and will only make it worse
Take it from a professional. I've been dealing with these on and off since I was 8.
So true!
i have chronic migraines and have to take meds every night for them. when i was first diagnosed my doctor gave me ibuprofen and other headache meds but none of them were strong enough and they didn't seem to realize that migraines aren't just headaches.
I have had some people tell me I'm imagining it when I said "I see flashing lights (aura)" before the pain
Thank you....much appreciated.
I'd like to give you some ideas for more videos like this. My suggestions are:
Night Terrors vs Nightmares
Cluster Headaches vs Migraines (without underestimate migraines and regular headaches)
Tantrums vs Autism Meltdowns
Phobia vs Fear
Adicctions vs Hobbies
Remember that this are only suggestions that I'd like to see. Greetings
I love this channel because it gets straight to the point with the differences ❤️❤️
P.s what about sinus vs. a cold ??
i don't have migraines very often but i did get sick once and i got them I was nauseous and i as sensitive to sound I cant even imagine living with constant migraines
Also migraines can sometimes feel like having a stroke, or that the person is dying. Please be sensitive and listen like the video says !!
I had migraine when l was at preschool l.have to take time off work today lt make you very sick
I know alot of people who claim they have migraines and it's like.....no you don't that's just a headache 😕 same with how I personally have ocd and I get the comment "I have ocd to I need to have my towels folded right" it's like no Becky that's just called being organized 🤦♀️
People just don’t understand the pain that comes with a migraine
I suffer from migraines, diagnosed. Not all migraines are like this. Mine are quite mild in comparison to other people’s, but ibuprofen usually works for mine. Yah there are some awful episodes but for migraines can vary in severity
Can you please do one of these for the differences with someone who has scoliosis? I suffer from it and I don't think a lot of people understand how bad it can be and the effects.
I've been dealing with chronic migraines since I was 7. I'm 20 now.
I’m a college student once in health class I had a severe migraine during the lesson I began to cry and felt nauseated I was in so much pain in my dorm room I lay down for an hour couldn’t even fall asleep it’s hurts that much I couldn’t stop vomiting unexpectedly in the bathroom and I felt like I was dying it’s was a terrible experience.😣
Right now I have intense ear pain, a headache. Running dry nose that hurts, and eye pain... no joke it’s 02:30 where I live and I can’t sleep
I used to never got migraines and then I got diagnosed with IIH r.i.p
Watching this with a migraine headache.
This will be long but just read lol. I get migraines probably 5-10 times in a year. I always get aura with mine that lasts for about 20-30 minutes before the actual migraine starts. Let me just say, it is the worst pain I have ever felt in my entire life. I always end up vomiting when I get one. I lay in the dark and cry. I try to go to sleep so it will go away but it’s extremely difficult. Once I fall sort of asleep, when I wake up the migraine is gone, but my head is super sore for the next day. When I cough, or bend over or do anything that strains my head it hurts that one side of my head the migraine was on. Nobody truly understands the pain unless you really get one. I missed my junior prom night because as soon as I got there, my vision started going blurry which was the aura. I TRIED so hard to tough it out, but I couldn’t bare. I ended up in the school parking lot throwing up, and had to leave early. I was devastated. At one point in my life, around middle school, I was getting them very frequently. I would get them 1-2 times a week. It was TERRIBLE. One of the worst ones I got was when my whole body went numb, and I was throwing up, and the pain on that one side of my head was EXCRUCIATING (they are always excruciating tho). I ended up in the ER that night because the pain was so bad. They sent me to get a cat scan on my brain because I was getting them so frequently. Everything came back normal thankfully. Once in high school I didn’t get them near as much for some reason. For those of you that suffer with migraines, I feel you. I understand. And for those that don’t, be glad you don’t have to go through them. I have never had one that lasted more than 24 hours, so props to those that have to endure one for over 24 hours! No way I could endure the pain that long.
Nurtec ODT is excellent for removing aura migraines but this is very expensive and my pharmacy insurance denied me coverage.
I take paracetamol and it reduces only a little of pain sensation but the sensitive to bright light and sounds are still there... Oh god
Migraine is the worst pain. I get headache and migraines. When I get a migraine I feel like I have acid on my head and everything is blurry and nothing I take works. Upset sumptritan has been very helpful. Nothing will understand the pain of a migraine unless they have had one. It is not a headache. I can manage a headache but a migraine you can't do almost anything because the pain is so strong and u r so dizzy and nauseous and the room feels like it's spinning. The only thing you can do is sleep.
I get migraines 2-3x a day! Horrible life... I had it because of a stressful even that happened a year ago, it’s just because of 9 hours traveling and after that i had a headache for a week and it never go away, i went to a neurologist and I was diagnosed of migraine and muscle tension. I have to take sleeping pills every night to just sleep because of so much pain in my head.
This video is ntg compared to my migrane 💔💔💔💔!! Yes I have Migrane too n it's soooooooooooo painful 💔💔💔💔💔💔!! I feel like I wanna throw away my brain out of my head n my eyes too 💔
I suffer from migraines and get one about once a week. And I find it rlly annoying how people just think I've got a headache
I m going thru migraine from 2 days constantly. Just now i listening to binureal beats. In 2 weeks,i have to attend exam for which i study so hard, and made timetable but 2 days are gone bcoz of migraine, 3rd day now, so depression is different and plus that dead and negative feeling whenever i get migraine. I feel lowest low and negative that i m zero in life. It sucks.. Now i m also searching for TENS machine coz this medication is too much, sometimes i scare that my kidney will fail. I really want some stimulation or massage thing on migraine.
I get migranes. It sucks because I get blurred, fuzzy eyesight, sweat, pale skin, throbbing pain, nausea, and most of the time Im very close to fainting. Teachers never understand when I tell them I have a migrane and need to go home so I have to sit at my desk until between periods to go to the nurse.
Yes its prescribed and yes I have meds but they take sooo long to work 😑
the fact that i have both since i was a child
I get migraines but they only last a few hours and leave me nauseated ahhh this is making me remember the pain
Worst migraine I got was half my head, damn it felt horrible and it took me a full hour to finally fall asleep, it does not go away with sleep just time, well for me
I've only had one migraine in my life but I never want to experience that again. I have no idea how chronic sufferers cope
I can feel you jenny 😢
My mother gets migraines almost everyday. I’m getting them to. They hurt. My mother takes so many pills. I hope that one day I won’t have to take many pills.
I don’t know what the heck I get then because I get symptoms of both. My entire head is pounding, I’m sensitive to light and sound, it’s kinda hard to sleep but I don’t feel at all nauseated, I simply don’t want food
Also Advil helps in like 5-10 mins
I suffer from chronic migraines, and whenever I get them, it's unbearable. It feels like I'm going to throw up any second, every second. Even breathing causes pulsing in my temples.
I don't know what to think about these types of videos... The "migraines vs headaches" and "anxiety vs stress" and so on, trying to tell people that they shouldn't think they have it worse than you. Someone with stress can relate, somewhat, to someone with anxiety. And someone with a headache can relate, somewhat, to someone with a migraine. So why is it so important to point out how much such worse you have it?
Waiting on the sun did you not pay attention to the video? It's not about saying "yeah well I have it worse" it's about spreading awareness about migraine and how severe they actually are, and making sure people don't just pass them off as a 'headache'. My school are giving me shit over staying home due to migraines, and with videos like these, people will start to understand that migraines aren't just headaches. It's showing the differences between them. A headache does not relate to a migraine whatsoever, it's not even similar.
Maybe I didn't understand the purpose of the video. I'm not saying that people shouldn't recognize that migraines are a real thing. But I, as someone who suffers from migraines and anxiety, have been met with the "I get headaches too" or "I get stressed too" a couple of times. People are not saying these things because they don't understand - they say it because they are trying to relate! And I think it is a wonderful thing that we live in a world where people do try to relate. That's why I don't understand the video.
Well, I guess it depends how people say it and what they say exactly. But thank you, I hope you get better too.
Thank you, and yes it definitely depends on the severeness of the migraine or headache. +Max Robert Oh gosh, hope something like that doesn't happen again! sounds horrible .3. Thank you :)
I have chronic daily migraines since I was 10; now I am 32. I am unable to work or have a productive life because of them. Headaches: you can still be productive with your day and simply take a medicine without a doctor prescription. Migraine: your day is thrown off and cannot to anything because everything bothers you. Your body shuts down. Doctors have to prescribe medicines because Advil will not work. Actually medicines do not work.
So I think this video is very helpful to educate people about headaches vs migraines. I wish I had a headache instead of a migraine. I have daily chronic pain from migraines.
I had one person tell me she rather give birth again than have another migraine. This woman only had one migraine.
