More about headaches

The worse thing about migraines is that unless someone else has them, they don't understand what it is like. Many times I get really frustrated when I have a migraine because Andy doesn't understand. I don't feel good, and like I said earlier I can still function ok most the time but it is anything but regular. He just doesn't understand because he doesn't get headaches very often. This sometimes makes me cry or become bitchy, not because he is being mean (cuz he is not) but he just doesn't understand. Sometimes he will even start arguing me that I don't have a migraine, just a headache... or because I am not bed ridden or throwing up (lucky that doesn't happen too much) it can't be a migraine.

And I argue that I know the difference. When I have a regular head ache it is so weird. It is like I don't know what to do, and it feels different than a migraine. It doesn't hurt as bad of course but I find regular headaches more annoying because I am more used to a mild migraine than a regular headache.

For me when I have a migraine, it helps if I or somebody else gives me a back rub, use an exercise ball, and do reflexology on myself (really just rubbing out sore spots on the bottom of the feet).
