Migraines are the worst! I cant imagine eating when they strike, either. Ive had three attacks in my lifetime, and they've all lasted a month or more straight through. Meds coupled with the pain just doesn't make eating a priority. Glad you have a good family to support you and make you meals when you're suffering. Smoking cannabis helped with the lack of appetite but actually made the pain worse once it wore off. Wishing you lots of luck in finding comfort with your migraines.
I am sorry to hear you have had migraines, but so happy that they are limited to 3. They are no fun! (I got one today, but thank God, it's improving. I'm just tired) I use CBD tincture twice a day, but not sure how effective it is.
Three episodes. They each lasted a month or more! It was a crazy cycle of waking up at 3am every single morning in pain that kept getting worse over time so the point where I was getting up at least 4 times in the night to take pain meds just so I could get 30 minutes of sleep at a time. By the third week I realized I was making myself worse with the cycle of meds and finally went to a specialist. I ended up on an anti depressant called Elavil (after trying literally every drug on the market. My closet was filled with half used prescriptions, nasal sprays, jaw apparatus, head gear, you name it, I tried it!). Its not prescribed for depression anymore bc it doesn't work. But, it does have a muscle relaxer in it and you take it at night instead of the AM. Three months total - one month to build it up in the system, one month to be "on" the meds and one month to ween off. I actually found out about it through another migraine sufferer who was embarrassed by the depression label, so I dont think too many people know about it. But....it was a miracle drug for me. It broke the cycle I was stuck in and since then, the episodes are much easier to control. But, I know if I ever get stuck again, Ill be asking for Elavil right away.
I tried CBD during the most recent episode. It seemed like it helped the first day, but by the third day of migraine pain I had basically just drank from the bottle hoping it would help, LOL. It didn't. But it was also from a hemp plant, so I think the ones with a tiny bit of THC are better.
