Those who suffer with chronic migraines literally live everyday with the fear of a migraine attack. Migraines are painful and a miserable thing to try and live with on a monthly basis. Those who have never had the misfortune of enduring or living through a migraine attack find it very difficult to have any type of empathy or sympathy for those who do have migraine, especially those who suffer with migraines on a frequent basis.
There are a whole lot of misconceptions about migraine headaches and the misconceptions are often what lead to the lack of empathy or sympathy from non-migraine sufferers. There is a misconception that a migraine is nothing more than a really bad headache, this thought is wrong. Another misconception is that a migraine often feels like a headache and therefore the pain associated with a migraine must be relative to those of a headache – wrong again.
Reality Check
The truth is migraines and headaches differ drastically and are not even related. Chronic migraines are a reoccurring neurological condition that causes a chemical changes in the brain. As a migraine develops, the blood vessels in the brain begin to enlarge as the blood vessels expand so does the intensity of a head pain. A sensation such as a throbbing / pounding feeling will begin to occur in the head once the blood vessels begin their expansion. A chemical is then released from the blood vessels into the brain to attack the brains arteries. The attacking of the brains arteries will then spur on a series of painful and debilitating symptoms such as:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Constipation
- Blurred Vision
- Diarrhea
- Sensitivity to light and sound
- Dizziness
- Cognitive Confusion
The symptoms that coincide with a migraine limit the productivity that can be had while enduring one. Migraines create the sympathetic nervous system to kick into high gear and cause feeling within the migraine sufferer to want nothing more than to run and hide.
Migraine treatment is the only method by which pain relief can and will be found. Migraine treatment varies between sufferers and the effectiveness is based on which treatment options have been chosen. Speaking with a medical professional can help determine which migraine treatment will be the most effective treatment option for you.
