Someone who suffers migraines tell me if this is something that actually happens.
Thursday my mom came home from work claiming her head hurt REALLY badly, so she rested most of the day until she had to go to the hospital. They gave her some medicine. Yesterday after getting up she said she might be able to take me to therapy. I said cool, because it was at 5 pm anyway, plenty of time to see if she’d feel better. Now she’s moaning and groaning so I tell my therapist it’ll just have to be a phone session, it didn’t seem like she would get better. Que her friend calling and her talking loud and energetically on the phone like she usually does…before going back to “Ohhh I’m in so much pain…”
I was so pissed. I was SOOOO PISSED. I could have actually gone to therapy. An actual hour session compared to the 30 I get on the phone, and I haven’t been there in person in weeks. After that point I felt she was just putting on an act. Even started crying at one point and I just felt fucking awkward. I always feel awkward when my mom cries. How do you suddenly get this boost of energy with a crippling migraine.
