I've been suffering terribly from these suckers over the last few months. :(

While my head has been clear, I thought I'd paint picture of one...

You know what solved mine? Water every day in large quantities instead of all this other stuff. I was simply severely dehydrated all the time. What do you have to lose? Poor health?

Awesome work, BTW.
 
that painting is evil, just like your migraine. I like it. Amazing expression of the pain that you've been going through. Hope you feel better Rob
 
I've been a migraine sufferer for the last 25 years...that looks about right!

That painting is just fantastic! :thumbup: -Matt-
 
Rob, I know the feeling of them!
Your painting is correct! (fantastic btw)
MMM is correct, migraines suck and not well either.
 
Awesome painting. A good rendition of a true internal monster. I was diagnosed with migraine headaches when I was 12. My wife gets them so bad that she end up in the ER. When they get that bad they give her a shot of phenergan and dilaudid.

I feel your pain man.
 
Yep that picture is what it looks like.
Luck i only get one real bad migraine a year that keeps me off work. I think cheep shite chocolate gives it to me?
But i just love Beer and chocolate at the same time. Is that strange? Im told it is.
 
I think migraines have a lot to do with unresolved food allergies. But really, unless you are ultra-sensitive to light and feel like the slightest movement or sound will cause you to vomit, it isn't a migraine. I grit my teeth at night and if I don't wear a special mouthpiece, I will get unbearable tension headaches, but they aren't migraines.
 
There are different types of migraines. I had Ocular Migraines in my 30s. I lost chunks of my vision and finally it got to where I would lose almost all my vision for extended periods, but without the pain. I didn't know such a thing existed until I went to a specialist. I rarely get real migraines anymore, and my wife who was a long time sufferer is better now that caffeine is no longer in her diet. She has some very specialized meds for when it does rear it's ugly head though.
 
Man, i feel your pain. I get e'm 4-5 a day for up to 6 weeks at a time. I've gone a whole month with nothing more than an hour or two of sleep a night. What a miserable experience migraines can be.
 
OMG. Just reading these posts and looking at your painting makes me feel this.... head...

... No! Stop!

I never had migraines and hopefully never will. Get better soon. All of you!

And let's drink water, water and more water
 
beautiful work, rob. :thumbup:

my doc sent me in for an MRI, turns out I have a herniated disc at C5/C6. they're going to treat that and see if it helps.
 
I rock a migraine about once a week. On the day I get one, throw up what ever I eat. I can't even keep water down. Usually after throwing up and fully emptying my stomach, and then drinking a bunch of water and puking again, the headache gets a little better.


They are weird, I used to get them as a kid once a week for years. Then I hit my teens and they went away for about 15 or so years. Now they are back.

I try to avoid chocolate, and really aged cheese (both of which I love). I suppose I should go back to the DR about it.

As a young kid they tried a blood pressure medication on me, then took me off because too many kids were having heart attacks from it.


Luckily my migraines don't affect my vision. I do have the light/sound sensitivity (not as bad as some), but the nausea and vomiting everything gets old!

Sorry to invade the thread, but you might not have migraines but a cluster headache. You might want to see a neurologist.
 
G'day Rob,
Migraines suck. :D I used to get them but have seemed to grow out of them over the last ten years or so. I used to dose my self up on those yellow mersedol ( probably spelled nothing like that. :D)Tablets until I passed out.

The picture just about sums it up, except I used to get all these little stars going by. :D
Cheers, Ian.
 
I get them from time to time, especially when I was younger. When one hits now I have to pop a couple pills the doc gave me, get the room cold and dark, and crash out until I can bear to be in light or around people. No kidding, I will turn the window unit on in the winter if I get one--can't get too cold.

Rob, the pic is spot on. Hopefully they will pass soon.
