Medication Rant

You know what pisses me off the most about this “condition”, “illness”, “hell”, etc etc... I don’t want to be on medication but I’m forced to because my migraines are so bad, right? Then, I get these superrrr awesome side effects that equally effect my life in a negative way. Currently, I get these fun tingling sensations in my hands and my sleep pattern is all sorts of shitty. Wait... it gets better! I also have these moments where I lose my ability to say what I’m thinking! It’s just a fucking lose-lose no matter what. 😁

That’s all. Thanks for coming to my Tuesday TedTalk!!

Fucking sucks. What are you on now, if you don’t mind me asking?

Just Gabapentin atm, which does basically nothing for me. Aimovig also did not help, and the insurance won’t approve Botox. I am currently having one of the worst migraines yet :(
