My experience-Venting, im tired of 24/7 migraines
I (18m) have 24/7 chroinc migraines for 5 years 2 of the 5 years is where symptoms got worse and now I feel horrible everyday. I have extreme guilt/shame about not having a job or doing anything meaningful with my life. I used to be really active and walked like 1-2h a day just from walking to and from school plus walking a lunch break. I used to hike semi often and play ball hockey everyday after school with friends. I uses to shovel driveways for money and help my dad with plumbing jobs and made a decent amount of money for my age at the time. I also used to workout 5 times a week in my personal fitness class at school, until covid hit and them migraines got worse. Now im over weight and cant go on a walk everyday and havent been on a hike in almost 3 years. I used to be able to ignore my headaches and move on with my day. But now its hard in the summer im useless and hate my life in the summer since I spend most of it wishing I had a normal life. In the fall/winter I feel better but my symptoms go down but pain shoots up and it can be unbearable at times.I cant work and it dosent help that I have dyslexia and my WPM is less then 50 so it feels like getting a at home job less likely. With 24/7 chroinc migraines my migraines aren't as intense as some of you might have but the pain is a 5 all the time and shoots up over weather change and when exposed to triggers. But I feel so guilty that other people have it worse or that im complaining about not being able to work while some people dont have a choice and have to work with debilitating migraines or other chroinc pain. Part of me tells myself that I have a right to complain since I been in pain for 6 years everyday. Ive had minor knee pain for 6 years with on and off flair ups. Ive always seemed to have a sprain from sports a sprained back being the worse abd walking to school with it waa gell along side a headache. Ive also had chroinc 🥜 pain for a year and cant do anything about it. Im so tired being in pain and so tired having my life robbed. I just started working out agian since I finally got room to but I couldn't do my workout yesterday due to intense headache and today I might have to skip todays workout. Im determined to get in shape but migraines are making it hard. One of the only things keeping me going is my neroulogist appointment next april in 5 months. I just want to be pain free but it seems it may never happen. I feel like I let everyone down who believed in me or thought I could be something great, my civics teacher told me I could change the world with a confident tone and my other teachers saw something in me aswell. But here I am doing nothing except waiting for a appointment that may or may not help and dreading wakeing up everyday. If you read this long vent or what ever this is thank you.
