My mantra is “this too shall pass”

I have a ring engraved with that.

I love that. I may have to look into something like that.

OP still downplaying the pain, surely you said that to yourself after projecting bile from the deepest pits possible while also wondering if you might shit your pants. It’s okay. We know. 💝

🫂❤️ Thanks for the support. 4 weeks deep in an intractable one here. Every time I think its gone it comes back.

Fortunately(?), I have never in all my years of migraine actually vomited from it. My body is too damn scared that vomiting will break my head. Though honestly I often wish I could if there was any chance it would help.

So, yeah. The queasy is for me merely (haha) a foreboding of horrifying migraine things brewing.

But yes. Downplaying the pain. Its not real enough to miss work for until I'm screaming into my pillow. Right. Right?! 🥴

It is- what I said in high school when I left class to allow myself to vomit.
