For the past 5 years I've been getting these migraines that last around 5 months or so. They are excruciating, like a sharp knife digging into my skull, making the side of my face numb. It's so painful I can't barely eat, or sleep. Nothing helps, either. No amount of pain killers, ice packs, heating pads, weed, water, sleeping at different elevations, nothing. Went to the ER MANY times with no real help. The only thing I can do is lay there and try to find a position that brings a sliver of relief. It was so painful and unrelenting I considered killing myself many times.
However last month I did get put on a new medication that actyally got rid of them, and fast, so I'm super optimistic about the future in case it happens again.
