Hey beautiful people, need to vent a bit. Figured you might understand + we need a bit activity. (Just hope it’s not entirely dead.)

I’m currently at hour 28 of my most recent attack. As a chronic sufferer I’m in pain more or less all the time, so I’m calling the really severe ones “attacks”. So it’s been 28 hours and the triptanes aren’t working anymore. I’m so exhausted and tired by now and my head’s not working properly. Migraine makes me stupid. I didn’t even manage to call in sick today. I’m just lying around doing literally nothing, focused on not dying.

Now the major problem is I need to go to a doc to get a sick note, otherwise my hours for yesterday and today are lost and I’d need to work overtime next week. But how am I supposed to physically get there? I’m inable to get myself a freaking glass of water, but driving through the whole city and then sitting in a crowded room for hours full of sick people coughing and talking while the light flickers, only to get “headache? Oh that sucks. You better stay home” by the doc is fine? Does that even follow any logic?

So yeah I guess I’m just taking the hours. Even though I lost my last job because of this specific reason. Migraine sucks.

Thanks for coming to my vent or something and have a great day for me!

    It sounds like you’re German. I am, too. Find a doctor that writes you a sick note over the phone. Mine does.

    Hope you get better soon :)
