My experience-god am i tired of this invisible ailment
It’s so tiring to deal with it
it’s so tiring dealing with the people who don’t know enough about it.
it’s so tiring telling it to my doctors who can’t do much about it, or who straight up don’t care or believe me.
it’s so tiring trying to integrate it into my life.
Unlike some of you, my self-diagnosis makes me believe its cluster headaches rather than migraines. After being referred to a neurologist by my GP, i was diagnosed with migraines and given migraine medications, but they straight up do not work, and i’m just using them as a placebo medicine, telling myself that i am doing something to help me and at least i’m trying, but i can only do so much.
i get regular, daily headaches especially around 4-6am in the months of september to february, and it fucks with my sleep so badly. i literally am scared to sleep because this monster drags me from my dreams into reality and i have no way to prevent it. i try to get regular sleeping hours, but i’m doing mandatory conscription and i can never get regular sleeping hours, and the doctors do not believe me to give me ANY help.
cluster headaches are so fucking painful, imaging feeling like you get shot every single night. during a particularly notorious attack a few years back, i actually blacked out from the pain. ironic that its always the one waking me up from my sleep, and then suddenly its putting me unconscious like some ironic cosmic joke.
initially, my gp thought that there was a chance that i might have a brain tumor, so i got a ct scan and everything. well turns its not, but at least if it were i could have something tangible to fight against and people would believe me and have more empathy for me.
god i hate this so much
