So yall are just talking about baby meds for minor headaches. I’m up on that prescription grade headache medication for my debilitating migraines, and I can not take it more than a few times a month without doing irreparable damage to my kidneys and liver. Sometimes, dealing with headache pain is the healthier option.
My medication is just for managing the pain/alleviating symptoms. I have seen neurologists and have been thoroughly examined.
My migraines are caused by having received multiple traumatic brain injuries due to blunt force trauma and concussive shock waves from being blown up while deployed overseas in active combat. Unfortunately, nothing much can be done about this accept for trying to manage the pain.
The good news is that I seem to be getting them much less frequently than I used to, so maybe my brain is attempting to heal itself. I used to get a migraine just about once a week. Now it’s only about once every other month.
Pain is healthy in so far that it indicates injury or sickness. It helps to tell you to give your body more rest. But if pain is chronic or gives you stress even during rest you do need medication
Pain is not always an indicator of injury or sickness, such as OP’s migraines or people with nerve disorders. There are many causes of pain, including unknown causes.
Boo hoo, someone couldn’t go 10 minutes without making something all about them. Of fucking course this is talking about normal headaches and not chronic migraines you fucking imbecile. Do you think someone’s gonna be recommending hard medication as a daily snack or something? Yeah, we all know sometimes you can’t pop drugs like it’s fucking candy. But you’re not really here to inform, you’re here to say, “look at me, everybody, I’m the 1 in 1000 people this advice doesn’t apply to, aren’t I so fucking special??”
Opiates are not medically indicated for migraines.
Triptans are.
So are injections of Ajovy.
This person is not talking about taking opiates. They are talking about medications that suck to take, but reduce the electrical storm of a migraine in the brain.
So my specifics are off. The point is still there. Choosing to suffer when you can easily stop it with near 0 downsides is kinda dumb. This guy clearly doesn’t have an easy fix with near 0 downsides. So this quite obviously doesn’t apply to that situation, does it?
There are downsides. Your point was entirely about magical fairy snowflake exceptions of which this isn’t, it isn’t about addiction, but it is about side effects being real.
It fits the exact case of the originally posted image.
There are also downsides like having to inject fucking ajovy into your skin. Shit fucking hurts. Not to mention brain fog and a host of other sensation related issues for many people that choose it only because the headaches are worse. One side effect of Naratriptan is you don’t sleep, for hours to days like horribly bad coffee that also doesn’t let your eyes focus and read.
I HAVE cervicogenic headaches. I HAVE used these medications to treat them happening DAILY for 2 decades. I have the first hand experience, which exactly mirrors this person’s, ties directly to the original image, and it is completely informed by years in science. You, on the other hand, didn’t even know migraines aren’t treated with the drug you stated explicitly you assumed this was about. Reducing the whole sun of the millions of movies one suffer’s and their conundrum of choosing between the devil and he deep blue sea every single day doesn’t make you anything except for perhaps an ignorant ass.
Fuck off about having any sort of a point you contrarian for the sake of it wanker.

You must be on a preventative, right? Rather than just managing pain when they come on?
I’ve tried Nurtec, Aimovig, and about to start Ajovy.
Nurtec and Aimovig worked pretty well, though not perfect. If you haven’t tried a preventative, I highly suggest seeing a neurologist, if you can.

I’m really happy it’s getting better for you! Hopefully it keeps improving.

Yes, that’s what “in so far” means
