Anatomy of a Migraine

Anatomy of a Migraine




In this video I induce a migraine head ache to illustrate just how debilitating a 'simple' head ache can be to the thousands of people who suffer from this condition, I hope it serves to inform and entertain, go on you little sadists enjoy my suffering.

This was a fairly short migraine, while I was awake (undoubtedly it was active at night) it lasted 2-3 hours and was only stopped by very powerful pain killers, for another day or so I'm going to have a very groggy head.

Music: 'Rusty cage' (copyright 1996 American recordings, LLC) by the late, great Johnny Cash!

thanks for the vid. i didn't understand migraines before i watched this, so you opened my eyes, and i'll tell as many people as i can that migraines aren't regular headaches. i don't know why so many people including myself are so misinformed, i guess it's because of movies and shows where you see a person with a migraine and he or she just looks like they have a bad headache.

I'm glad it opened your eyes. This is only a mild one to say the very least, sometimes you can be stuck in bed in total darkness and silence for days. Luckily for me I've been mysteriously free of them for a while now.

Migraine sufferers must not only cope with their pain, but also with society's misunderstanding of the disorder

I have suffered with migraines for years and again no one seems to understand it is not a damm headache. Mine can last for a week and I sympathise with all sufferers

Soundgarden- Rusty Cage- and there you have it. Why I love that band, perhaps as well as other music by Cornell and other bands. His songs sing to Migraine people. Listen to some of his songs. This guy seems perky. I can't do anything when I have a migraine, would lead to sickness, know what I mea? I am just coming off of a migraine, food related probably. 3.5 days and 4 100mg sumatriptan later. I can only take one every 24 hrs, so that's it.  I took another this morning at 4AM.
