Do you have them? What do you think of them?

I have them often. Usually when in the middle of the night when I try to sleep. It hurts so god damned much I cry. When ever I take the migraine medicine, I look at it longingly, thinking if I take the whole thing the pain will stop forever. If you don't have migraines, don't make wisecracks about it.

That is so emo. :(

Yes.

A backcracker and glasses (computer and reading) took care of a great deal of them.

You might also reduce your caffine consumption....

They're headaches. Bad ones, but headaches nonetheless. Get over it. Some simple changes can get rid of them.

Actually, the causes of headaches and migraines (and their symptoms) are completely different.

Have you had migraines?

A migraine is a vascular headache according to wikipedia :D. Mr. Emo Naliitr has high blood pressure, apparently.

Yes, but have you had one? If not, don't make wisecracks.

Have you had migraines?
If you must know yes i have. And i did not go and whine about them either.

Not whining. Simply asking people if they have had them, and what they feel about them.

Yes, but have you had one? If not, don't make wisecracks.
You can't start a thread whinging about how much you hate your migraines and not expect someone to come in and call you a pussy and tell you to get over it. :rolleyes:

I am NOT emo and I get migraines. They damned well hurt and I usually vomit uncontrollably. It especially annoys me when people say 'oh, they're just headaches' and 'oh, they're harmless', when they can keep me in a bed all day in agony.

I did not say you must be an emo if you get migraines... i said he is an emo for contemplating suicide in his original post over such a small thing, i know they hurt and can keep you awake all night, off your feet for days. But the thing is there are people out there with cancer and worse desases are they here whinging or dreaming of suicide?

seriously no matter how much it hurts, its just a headache. take some sleeping pills, and a shot of whiskey and you wont wake up in tears

I have my problems, you have yours.

Now let's just live with them and deal with it.

Have you had migraines?

Asking someone if they've "had" what you're bitching about is so emo.

Since I am the local idiot and American; WTF is "emo"

Apparently a major cause of migraines is clenching your jaw. So relax your face and everything will be fine.

Short for emotional I have presumed. Over-emotional rather. As in, over-dramatic, oh-my-god my life sucks so bad I want to die and kill everyone! argh! why can't everyone be nicer? blah blah blah

Basically, irrational emotional stuff. We're all Emo at one point or another, some of us just move on.

It's nice to rant though, so I will let people have their rants...

...as long as they rant! *whips them into ranting*

Migraines suck. I don't get them as often as I used to, but when I do have one these days they are much more painful than they were a few years ago. My boyfriend once suggested it might be funny to take me to a Taiko concert with a migraine. I wanted to kill him.

That is so emo. :(

Suicide is always the option for weak and narrow-minded people. But try this, whenever you are about to go to sleep and feeling really down think of somebody worse off than you. That way you can laugh yourself to sleep!

We strife and we struggle but we forget
We don't know what it means to suffer yet.
