hey you, learn about the phases of a migraine attack!

migraine is a neurological disorder that involves a shit ton of different symptoms that might not seem related, but are often debilitating and can disrupt someone's life for days at a time.

not every person will experience every phase of this timeline with every migraine attack, not every possible symptom that can be associated with a migraine attack is listed, and many will experience phases lasting longer than what is listed here. this is just a helpful graphic to get an idea of what the timeline of a migraine attack can look like.

a single migraine attack can last a week or more!

PRODROME: this phase lasts a few hours to days. there are a ton of seemingly unrelated symptoms that can actually signal the start of a migraine attack. being able to identify prodrome symptoms is essential to navigating migraine attacks, as they can vary from person to person, and most patients have no idea that there can be warning signs like these up to days ahead of the severest part of the pain.

prodrome phase symptoms can include:

irritability

depression

yawning

increased need to urinate

food cravings

sensitivity to light or sound

problems concentrating

fatigue and muscle stiffness

difficulty speaking and reading

nausea

difficulty in sleeping

AURA: 5-60 minutes. more migraine patients seem to be conscious about the aura phase than the prodrome phase, because these symptoms might only show up in a specific person right before the headache phase of a migraine attack. some people get blurry vision, blind spots, or temporarily stop being able to see altogether. others might see lights, flashing, or geometric shapes that are not there.

aura phase symptoms can include:

visual disturbances

loss of sight

numbness and tingling on part of the body

HEADACHE: the ouch part. this is where the pain climaxes, and it can last 4-72 hours. for some the pain is mild, and for others the pain is really really really really bad. the apparent site of the pain often moves throughout the headache phase of a migraine attack. despite being called the headache phase, not all symptoms are actually related to having pain in the head. this is just the phase where the worst part of the headache happens.

headache phase symptoms can include:

throbbing

drilling

icepick sensation in the head

burning

nausea

vomiting

giddiness

insomnia

nasal congestion

anxiety

depressed mood

sensitivity to light, smell, sound

neck pain and stiffness

POSTDROME: also called a "migraine hangover". after the main head pain is over, and the pain should typically drop in severity pretty fast around now, the migraine attack is still not fully over. the postdrome phase can last 24-48 hours.

postdrome phase symptoms can include:

inability to concentrate

fatigue

depressed mood

euphoric mood

lack of comprehension

being able to identify patterns and symptoms associated with migraine attacks at all phases can be critical to understanding when something is a medical emergency, a different medical condition, or part of migraine. the symptoms associated with a migraine attack can easily be mistaken for something more life-threatening like a stroke, but migraine attacks often have patterns, timelines, and buildup.

migraine patients can wind up getting unnecessary and unsuccessful surgeries (such as in the mouth, sinuses, or shoulders), or getting misdiagnosed with one thing or another because they might not be able to recognize their own migraine symptoms, or might not recognize that they can have so many seemingly unrelated symptoms from a migraine attack across such a long period of time.

when it comes to migraine attacks, the severity of pain ≠ the severity of the pathology, at least in terms of things that might endanger someone's life. it can hurt like hell, it can really really really fucking hurt like hell, it might feel like death, and it can still be a migraine attack.

which is important to understand, because migraine can be more painful and debilitating than many immediately life-threatening conditions, and is among the most debilitating neurological conditions in the world.

btw it wont be the first or last time i say it but sheezy.art is cool.

if youre an artist and youve been looking for somewhere to actually make friends/form an art community rather than just sadly refreshing your feed for likes/rbs i would recommend sheezy.art!

it's in beta rn and theres a timer that lets 10 people register every few hours, but theres also a kofi you can support thatll just let you register right away

the website's staff and multiple friends were the ones who brought the site to my attention (thank you lemmy), and every who ive met/talked to there has been super active and sweet ^_^ ik social media can be kind of daunting if you do art for fun so now its my turn to push you guys towards the site

#might check it out later #since dA sucks so much this looks like a good alternative #deviantart #art platform #sheezy art

I asked one of my (male) friends to stop using the phrase “man up” and he has been using “fortify” for the past two weeks instead and it’s just a little thing but honestly it makes a difference

and tbh it’s also pretty funny when I start to deflate in the library and he leans over and goes “FORTIFY”

miku expo 2024 is the dashcon of vocaloid concerts. the projectors were replaced with LEDs and organizers told no one, still charged ppl for the projectors. someone stole the Miku canada cut out. vocaloid producers are really mad that attendees are mad that they got scammed because nothing comes before Product. the event banned glowsticks and upcharged the sale of their own, under the excuse that average glowsticks would interfere with the projectors, that the organizers knew they did not have. someone pissed on the floor. car crash outside the venue in san jose
