My experience-My migraines are gaslighting me

---

I naturally woke up at like 5:30 this morning which I thought was weird, not my normal sleep cycle. About an hour later I felt the migraine coming. Immediately got up, took a nurtec, ate a breakfast with good protein, fats, and carbs, a a little Gatorade and then water, used a theragun on my shoulders, and a brudder mask to open up my sinuses.

I did EVERYTHING, I wanted to nip this early because I know these are the kind that will last me all day. I even went back to sleep. I woke up much worse and horrifically nauseous. Decided to try a naproxen and laid down waiting for relief. It never came and it was escalating rapidly. I called a nurse line and they told me to go to the ER. Called my husband to leave work to take me because there was no way I could drive.

I'm on quilipta and have had amazing success with it. Haven't had a migraine since I started. So this was concerning. I've also never had to go to the ER, so my husband knew this was serious.

Hes 30 minutes away and just like someone flipped the switch, I'm fine. I also texted my boss saying I wasn't sure I'd be in tomorrow because I was going to the ER.

Now I feel like I was exaggerating how I was feeling...

I'm happy it's gone, but also feel emotionally like shit. I caused my husband to leave work, I'm still in my probation period at my work- so that looks awful for my reliability, and I'm scared it's going to come back and I'm wasting time by blowing this off.

Im just sosososo frustrated....needed to vent..
