But what is this, medioeval times? Why whould anybody be kicked out school because he needs to take medications? What if somebody gets an infection from any kind of accident and has to take antibiotics pills 3 times a day, will he be kicked out as well? Or maybe not beacuse they can see the bruises while they cannot see inside our heads?
Unfortunately this is what we have to deal with on top of the pain we go through: lot of people around us simply do not understand, nor they are willing to. Anytime I mention to somedody I suffer from C/H they start telling me how bad their headache was during their last hangover....
Aside from pain and sleep deprivation dealing with other it's the most difficoult thing.
If the pills are too slow try the auto-injections. They worked really well in my case and pain is gone everywhere between 3 minutes and 11
minutes (yes, I kept looking at the clock after
every injection hoping it would be 3 minutes and not 11.....). maybe you can leave a 2 injections box with the nurse and go and see her when needed.
I'm now 48 hours free of pain and shadow after over 2 and a half months but I do not even dare to think its over....All the best and do not be ashame, we are not monsters.
Warmest wishes from Italy
