Hi Everyone,

i'm a lifelong migraine sufferer. It all started when I was 10 years old. The first time I couldn't see anything (Aura, blind spots) and started throwing up. Shortly after that I had the worst headache of my life. That's when I knew something was wrong even I was only 10 years old.

Years later the migraines never stopped, luckily at that time I only had them once or twice a year but no more then that.

Fast forwarded to my 20's (my current age is 26 M) I started getting a lot more migraines.
Some of them were with Aura and Pain some of them where only the Aura.
I had all the symptoms you could think off (thingling arms, legs tonge and face | slurred speech | blurred vision and a lot of pain on 1 side of my head which felt like an iceaxe or something).

The problem is I deal with a lot of anxiety, when will the next attack be? Will it be short or long? Will I be throwing up?

All these things give me a lot of anxiety in life.

Sometimes I feel guilty for not comin to work too because i'm sick.

My question for you guys is, how do you deal with the anxiety of maybe having a migraine attack or people judging you? (for example work)

Kind regards and thank you for reading!
