How Do You Manage Interactions With Migraines?
Over 40 plus years, I have explained “I have a migraine” thousands of times. To family, loved ones, friends and even during social interactions, to offer explanation for myself. Those even closest to us, can often react with a sigh, eye rolling or smirk, and comments of total misunderstanding, of where we’re coming from. Yet in reality we are coping best we can.

Actually the unscented Bounce sheets (white box) DO have a scent! It's just much lesser than the original orange box.

For me, Going out in public is always conducive with migraine. From strong scents, temperature fluctuations, store and even restaurant lightning, sun flashing through trees and window blind slats. Store Isles with cleaners. ( Febreze products are absolutely Sickening for me).. weed killers and fertilizer, scented candles and potpourri. Petroleum, smoke, mowers.. perfume is unavoidable but just one more obvious inducer. I can’t wear any even scented deodorant. How do others relate?
But, to answer your question @A MyMigraineTeam Member, yes, I am tired of saying over and over "migraine again" or in this new case "mega unbearable pain in my back". So instead I try to pretend I'm ok. But my hubby knows better automatically. If I'm awake at 5am, he knows I'm in pain. He just asks "back or head?" Lol.
@A MyMigraineTeam Member. Yes I fumbled again, unknowingly. I believe my iPad is playing games with me. I really twice meant to say: “I buy UNSCENTED BOUNCE SHEETS!”!
