If you have ever felt caged in by a person or your surroundings, you may be able to understand the frustration that comes with not being able to get away or escape the feelings of being caged in or surrounded. Suffering with chronic migraines can make a person feel as if he or she is caged in or trapped by the pain that the migraine creates. It is true that a migraine can make an individual feel surrounded by pain with little hope of finding a way out of the pain maze, but there is another aspect of migraines other than the pain that can make a person feel surrounded.
Migraine triggers are one of those aspects of a migraine that can make the sufferer feel trapped and caged in by the thought of stepping out and coming into contact with a migraine trigger. Migraine triggers live everywhere and are bound to come into contact with an individual possibly setting the stage for an exploding migraine to develop. It is impossible to avoid a migraine so a person that suffers with chronic migraines must learn how to live with migraine triggers affecting or interfering with his or her life.
