Migraine Headaches Support Group
Migraine is a neurological disease, of which the most common symptom is an intense and disabling episodic headache. Migraine headaches are usually characterized by severe pain on one or both sides of the head and are often accompanied by photophobia (hypersensitivity to light), phonophobia (hypersensitivity to sound) and nausea.
I have had migraines for over 40 years. was on diaability. I have a friend that recently has been telling me i dont try hard enough to get over them. She doesnt want to hear about them. and I feel like she is moving on. I was recently in the hospital my egg showed migraine activity im not making them up, and I try not to talk too much about them but I really have become careful about what I say. At 66 the pattern for some unknown reason sems different, I may or may not figurer it out, How do you guys handle it when people seem to move on. been to dr and all. She also said if I get worse my brother best take care of me. Feeling alone.
I think that you need to make up your own mind about whether you need a carer and who that person ought to be. It may not even be relevant in your own mind right now. You may have to accept that your friend wants to move on but it is not your fault if she does. If she looks like staying, I guess you will need to decide if her disregard for your migraines is acceptable to you. I wish there was an easy to deal with this, but I think there is not. I do expect that good friends would listen even if they do not entirely understand everything that is said. Hmm.
I'm sorry that, feeling as isolated as you do, that this is the first reply. (I only just joined.) You were right to reach out here. Do take good care of yourself.
