I didn't mention it here, but I have a serving of Huel almost every single day! Migraine Jen's favorite quick, healthy, EASY meal with no chewing required 😋: huel.mention-me.com/m/ol/lf6rs-jen-from-mm Does anyone have recommendations for gem art, play doh, or air-dry clay? I don't have experience with these, so I didn't link any! Feel free to drop a link in the comments below!
That sounds so great! My migraine attacks last thankfully only a few hours with the medication but I get terrible nausea with the migraine so I spend the time lying on the bathroom mat, listening to a podcast if possible or just trying to force time to go by faster… I don’t have any fun/weird brain symptoms apart from what feels like unbearable pain on half my brain and nausea 😅
I love that you touched on the "haters" comments. Those comments from other migraine sufferers, "If you can do this, then you aren't having a migraine.", drive me up the wall! Those people make me wish at times that there was a mandatory class that we all had to pass about all of the intricacies of migraine. Everybody's body reacts differently to each & every attack, even our own. Plus, not to mention, we all tolerate different levels of pain! One person's pain level of 10 can very easily be another person's level 1 pain. Even my own tolerance has changed over the years. I'm 47 & what I would classify as a level 3 now, would've been what I would've classified as a 10 when I was 20. I have some level of migraine pain, or aura symptoms (some that bring me to my knees for a moment), nearly every single day. I function most days & most people have zero clue that I am in any level of pain. I also deal with it unmedicated. Sure, I have days where I am knocked down and I can barely get out of bed to just go to the bathroom. But, even on those days I have to deal with it unmedicated. Most OTC or especially prescription pain relievers do absolutely nothing for me. Any prescription that we have tried has made me sicker. Either physically ill or has worsened my attacks. There was even one where I had to beg the doctor to get me off of it. I couldn't even make it through the initial 2 week period. I actually said "If I was given a choice to either keep feeling this sick every single day of my life, or deal with the pain every day, I choose the pain." I think at the time of that phone call, I hadn't eaten in 3 days because just the thought of food had me dry heaving. The medicine was also doing nothing for my pain, so I had that on top of the side effects I was having. I also had a 3 year old to take care of. Ironically, I have better luck with OTC pain relievers taking just the edge off of the pain, but ONLY if I time it right. Too soon, or too late in to the attack, they do nothing also & even will make the pain even worse. So 9 times out of 10 I will choose to not even try and tough it through the pain. My attacks last for days. I envy people that are feeling fine within hours. I'm sure since I just spoke about my experience with meds, I'm going to get some haters comments about how I don't get "true" migraines if OTC meds "work" for my attacks. Once again.... everybody's body is different. What works for me doesn't necessarily work for you & vice versa. How I feel pain isn't the same as how you feel pain & vice versa. If you still feel inclined to claim that I don't have migraine, I invite you to speak to my multiple doctors, including my neurologist, who have all diagnosed me with 2 types of migraine. All of who go crazy trying to figure out what is going to help me reduce my pain. I have had this horrible condition since I was a young child. One of my first memories of an attack was when I was 8 years old. It turned in to a traumatic event, because of an unsupportive family member who actually believed that it was impossible for me to be in that much pain because I was just a child & had no clue what that amount of pain felt like. A few years after that I had a teacher come take me out of the nurse's office, because "I was faking it." He claimed I was faking it, because my homework assignment was unfinished. When he dragged me back to that classroom, the brightness of those lights were excrutiating. But, he just told me to stop faking it. I had those experiences into adulthood where I wasn't believed about my pain. So I was forced to tolerate it. I've developed a tolerance over dealing with it for 40+ years. I still don't get believed. To that I say "Believe what you want. I know what I'm feeling. You aren't inside my body, feeling what I'm feeling." My main method of dealing with MY pain is distraction. Sometimes I clean, do laundry, bake, craft, garden, paint, draw, etc. Anything to break my concentration off of the pain. Sometimes I even build with Legos with my 8 year old, who can be amazingly quiet with them when I ask her to. I've even let her bowl in our hallway (which has wooden floors & sounds like a bowling alley) with her plastic bowling set, with my bedroom door closed of course. But, just hearing her joy distracts me from the pain sometimes, or even makes the pain worth it. In the end though, when it comes to my migraine, I think a big part of how I can tolerate the pain is just plain acceptance. That doesn't mean that I'm giving up. But, I accept the fact that it is a part of me. I will never stop fighting it. But, I will fight it by realizing that it is a piece of me that I will likely never be free of. I will also fight it to the end and not ever let it keep me down when it knocks me down. I will always survive the attack and I will always get back up to be ready for the next attack.
Oh the things we can do one day but can't the next.. I had a colleague say well so and so can do this and that with his migraine, why can't you!?! Well because I mostly can only sleep or push through for my kids. Not for anything else. Not for work or chores or anything. Just to keep my kids safe. Thanks for these videos Jen, they help so much. I watched one last week where you had an ear bomb. I've never heard anyone have that too. I actually thought I was making them up because I don't have them that often. My go to to get me through boredom is watching RUclips 😉
truer words were never spoken, when most of our time is spent having a migraine we adapt and we learn how to live our lives and do things and be productive even when we feel l like shit. i have described before to people that i'm never not having any migraine symptoms and if i were to stop everything everytime i'm in pain i would never do anything and it seems very hard for them to assimilate that
I recently bought an embroidery kit off amazon. I'm sewing white roses onto a black canvas bag. I thought about all the things I could do while being on my back unable to move and embroidery is perfect as gravity doesn't get in the way. I highly recommend it!
7:30 For most of my life I have been utterly unable to dance. I have, for years, blamed my fake leg on this. Then I saw this little girl (I think 12?) on you tube who is winning dance competitions with other AB dancers. I joked that that video p*** me off because now I had to admit that my inability to dance comes down to a lack of talent rather than a lack of legs. Just because one person who can't do something with a disability, it doesn't mean everyone with that disability can't do it. Nor does it meant because a person can manage something on Monday, it doesn't mean they can always manage. There is a video game with an NPC who has Lupus. Sometimes he can be seen using a wheel chair, sometimes he walks with a cane and sometimes he walks unassisted. Lupus is one of those things that you have good days and bad days. Lots of disabilities are like that. There are times when I can hike 20+ miles in a day, and some days I can't wear my leg at all.
When I have a migraine people ask my why don't i get some sleep or sit in a dark room...well honestly if I took that advice everytime I had an attack I'd never get anything done. Unfortunately I just have to get on with things in life People also ask why don't I take any painkillers... well unfortunately with that one painkillers don't touch my pain or will cause sickness so I simply don't take them as it's a waste
Interesting that you prefer cold and icepacks which make mine worse lol i need extreme heat to get relief hence why i alwsys take a really hot bath during my migraines
I am a manager in retail and often times get migraines while at work. It sucks but then I do have some that think that just because I can do something while having a migraine attack one day doesn't always mean that I can do it another. It is silly but others think i am just exaggerating my symptoms
My local chronic migraine support group on FB is incredibly helpful! Great video. You’re so right that being chronic means you can’t just put everything on hold. I feel so seen. Thanks Jen. 💜🥰
You and I do a lot of similar things during migraine, but for me there's one key difference. You like slow-paced media during a migraine because that's what you can keep up with, but I enjoy fast-paced media during a migraine because that's all I can keep my attention on. I enjoy the slow-paced, introspective stuff when I'm not in a migraine, but I need to work to focus on it and I'm just not up to that much thinking during a migraine.
I have Mèniéres disease that gives me 24 hours of vertigo every couple months. I can’t do most of the activities you mentioned, but the cooling eye mask looks amazing! I like to use the vertigo days to catch up on computer tasks I’ve been putting off.
I’ve always felt guilty doing things when I have a bad migraine. Especially if I called off work or something. Even if I was feeling a bit better later in the day.
Glad you liked the ideas!! And yeah, migraine service dog - who knew?! He does much more than just alert. In case you're interested, here's a video of what else Buddy helps me with when it comes to migraine attacks! ruclips.net/video/ldqxgoOSqz8/видео.html
Thanks so much for this video Jen!!! I've been following you since June of 2020 so pretty close to the beginning and your channel has helped me tremendously not just for myself but being able to show others to help them have a bit more understanding of what we go through. I've been battling migraines since my early teens but they got progressively worse and then had a major increase to daily and debilitating after a series fo brain injuries. Then started having issues with dysautonomia (still in process of trying to figure out which particular one) as a result of all of this. I've been battling with all of the issues from brain injuries for almost 4yrs now and finally have someone who is checking things out and taking me serious. I unfortunately scare those closest to me since they don't know what to make of all of this and have said that they could never deal with all of this at all. It has robbed me of a lot and yet most of the time I'm still thankful (which others don't understand). I am so glad that I found your channel glad to share with others.
Hi Jen. I love your videos. I’ve found them beyond helpful. I have a question. How long do your migraines last? I’ve just come out of a 12 day migraine and it totally wiped me out. The migraine hangover is real!!
I can't bear the idea of food when I have a migraine...way too nauseous! I like to paint, in silence, if I don't have to lie down in a dark room! I definitely agree with putting your feet in hot water, I actually made a video about it because it's so effective, as it draws the blood away from your head. Take care, from someone who understands!
Thank you! The POTS stuff... ahhhh I'm about to explode. A lot of good material, I hope it's helpful for you!!! I'm trying to get through the footage as fast as I can. There's so much filmed already + so much more to cover that I think it may even be multiple videos!!

Ah great one!! I had to look it up to make sure I knew exactly what you were talking about... I've never done it, but my grandma used to do it! Those can be soooo beautiful.
Always looking forward to the videos but your health still comes first (even if you want to do the best for your subscribers). Might be obvious, but saying it one more time cannot hurt :). Also, my migraines are near enough always with pain, so a lot of the stuff recommended it challenging enough. So, I am that couch potato (loud and proud and all that, pain hurts). I also LISTEN to RUclips videos I have already watched (sometimes at 2x speed so I feel like my brain is still, you know, being used).
Although you have Beautiful hair....Cutting your long hair a little shorter can help with migraines...Long hair can be heavy, especially thick hair....From one migraine sufferer to another.... Enjoy the education aspect of your videos....
When I had to have it in a ponytail for the lab, I did chop it because it was too heavy! But now I can leave it down, so the weight isn't a bother. 😊 Thanks for the tip!

Absolutely love the eye mask...especially for the forehead and back of the head/neck area. Definitely going to invest in that idea, thanks!
I just checked the website and there's conflicting answers on the question, 'can it be heated' Didn't you say you can heat it?
I have a couple of brands... I think some are ok to heat and some are not. I personally don't use heating, so I'm not totally sure. Sorry!
I have Mèniéres disease that gives me 24 hours of vertigo every couple months. I can’t do most of the activities you mentioned, but the cooling eye mask looks amazing! I like to use the vertigo days to catch up on computer tasks I’ve been putting off.

I also LISTEN to RUclips videos I have already watched (sometimes at 2x speed so I feel like my brain is still, you know, being used).
