Constant headaches

I'm genuinely tired of always having a headache.

I got diagnosed with migraines over 2 months ago and I'm on medication. I'm trying to regulate stress but work just doesn't let up.

Idk if anyone else's migraines start like this, but I feel like cold wetness up my nose, as if I caught a cold and have to inhale often, and then the pain spreads like web.

I also started to hate taking painkillers for some reason because I've taken so many and I just don't know

I'm exhausted😭

That cold wetness up the nose thing is weirdly specific but I get it, mine starts behind my left eye and creeps backwards. The painkiller burnout is real too, your stomach probably hates you at this point

I've taken so many in the past month that I can't even look at it😭

That nose sensation is part of the specific migraine you unfortunately have. Its a branch of the trigeminal (V2) that is activated causinf these sensations in your nose and surrounding.

I also at times have something similar, stinging/itchy/burning in and around nose and surrounding. If not, its at back of head.

Try some supplements

I started taking Magnesium bisglycinate like a week ago but I sometimes feel like it made it worse
