I have chronic migraines and my primary trigger is light. Not at all ideal when you live in the Caribbean. I’m halfway through my second year of university and I’m online because of the virus. Every week is a struggle, I can’t catch a break from the pain. High School was really difficult for me because the pain and long list of symptoms were debilitating no matter what I tried. I even had a TIA and would experience Alice in Wonderland syndrome. It’s not as intense as before but I’m scared to go out to my new school. I get super carsick and I recently learnt that migraines link to that. The nausea would trigger a migraine. If not that the migraine would trigger nausea. My transit to school is fairly long as it’s in the mountains and the weather changes are way easier to feel. I plan on staying online until my 4th year because I want that university experience but I dread it because of my migraines. How on earth am I supposed to live? Sure I brave some days and deal with the painful aftermath but I can’t do that every day with school. I’m struggling, it’s so hard and my family doesn’t understand what I do daily to minimize my pain. Has anyone else experienced something similar with school or work? How did you deal with it?
