migrainenoreading

I was finally about to start this book tonight, when I started getting a migraine. Tragically, my migraines tend to prevent me from reading, due to light sensitivity and visual distortions. I took my medicine, grabbed an ice pack, and talked to my boyfriend on the phone for a few hours while I waited to feel better (yeah he's perfect). Looking forward to starting this one tomorrow instead, since it's so late now! #migraine #migrainenoreading

celtichik I really enjoyed this one! 7y

Reviewsbylola That's such a bummer. Glad you are feeling better though. I finished this one last night and it is fab. 7y

I woke up with an aura. (Insert really long string of swear words here). So, it looks like today's #readathon will be sponsored by Audible. First up - A classic for Halloween. #migrainenoreading #migraineandanaudiobook

Jennick2004 Yuck :( lucky you can still listen to an audiobook with a migraine; I have to have complete silence and darkness! 8y

DGRachel @Jennick2004 I can't always - sometimes I'm okay with headphones, but other times the sound of my own breathing is too much. I haven't actually put them in yet, so I'm trying to think positively. Otherwise, I'll end up crying in frustration. 😔 8y

Dragon Migraines suck. Hope yours resolves soon!! In the mean time your book sounds like good listening. Take care . 8y

DGRachel @Dragon thank you. 😊 8y

PNWBookseller85 I get them too. Hope you feel better soon! 8y

bmsddk Oh no! Wishing you an aborted migraine and aura and a suitably distracting read 📚 8y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa That sucks! Feel better soon! 8y

Bette Take care. Feel better. 8y

DGRachel @BeckyMerilatt @bmsddk @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Bette Thank you. I slept the better part of the day. Aura is gone, but the pain won't break. Here's hoping for a better day tomorrow. ☺️ 8y

A few of us have noticed that Litsy has a lot of migraneurs (migraine sufferers) among its members. I brainstormed a few hashtags for us to use. What others have I missed? Tagging a few folks I remember having migraines recently.

p.s. May we never have to use these hashtags!

BookishFeminist, DGRachel, Bibliogeekery

Bibliogeekery Those are good ones! ☺️ 🤕😥 #readthepainaway 8y

bmsddk Absolutely love these hashtags, thanks for sharing them!! Great way to not feel so alone. #migrainereads maybe? There are some genres/types of books I gravitate to when my head gets really bad. 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Bibliogeekery @bmsddk I love them both! 8y

BookishFeminist I love these ❤️ migraines are awful but Litsy helps. I've been using the Migraine Buddy app you recommended and love it! 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @BookishFeminist I'm glad Migraine Buddy is helping. Wish we all could stay migraine free!! 8y

KCorter I'm liking #readthepainaway, @bibliogeekery. :) 8y

Texreader I feel for you all! I get migraines as a side effect if I miss one dose of a medicine I take. Argh! It sends me into a dark spiral of pain so I cannot function at all. I am so grateful I can "control" mine. Special thoughts your way. 8y

Texreader And a neighbor is throwing a loud party tonight so I'm on the verge of a headache. 😡 8y

erzascarletbookgasm I like those hastags. You can add me in the list 🤕🙁 8y

Suzze I can't imagine. I feel for you all. 😟😟 8y

bmsddk @Texreader Oh no, wishing you the best with the noise 😕 8y

Lizpixie Me too. I hope I never have to use one again either🤕 8y

Handmade_Redhead Going to have to look up migraine buddy. My daughter gets severe migraines. Mine rarely last more than a day and i can usually sleep them off. 8y

LauraJ My migraines seem to be hormonally induced. Fortunately, I'm able to read, but sound makes me want to jump out of my skin. I like #readthepainaway too, but could totally see wanting a more specific hashtag. 8y

Maike You can add me too 😔 reading helps most of the time, but sometimes it's so bad I can't even do that. #readthepainaway is a good one! 8y

Texreader @bmsddk Thank you. It's midnight here now and the last of the revelers seem to be going home. But here I am wide awake now. Thank heavens for Litsy. 8y

Godmotherx5 I had one last night. I couldn't even read. Sleep helped but "hung over" this morning. 8y

Bibliogeekery Today is another really rough migraine day for me 😫 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Bibliogeekery I'm so sorry. You're not alone. I can't take more medicine this week and I'm own with this migraine too. 😢 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Handmade_Redhead I hope it can help you. I learned a lot about my patterns and triggers. Now I mostly use it to be sure I don't overuse medicine. 8y

Bibliogeekery Sorry to hear that you are still suffering too! 💓💓💓 8y

moranadatter This is timely. I had one yesterday. 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Godmotherx5 @Texreader @Bibliogeekery @kmdartist @Maike @LauraJ @Handmade_Redhead @Lizpixie @erzascarletbookgasm @KCorter @BookishFeminist @bmsddk Knowing we aren't alone helps. #LitsyMigraineBookClub - the club no one wants to join! 😘😘 8y

Godmotherx5 Great name: LitsyMigraineBookClub 8y

Donna_sBookMinute Nothing like making the most of a bad situation. Not a member but sorry to know so many suffer. 😦 8y

Gezemice I have headaches, fatigue and brainfog related to food sensitivities and autoimmune disorders - I am often confined to resting in bed. I work only part time because of it. I found that diet and exercise helps... not exactly migraines but similar enough - you can add me, too... 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Gezemice Sounds a lot like my experience. I have a few diagnoses and did that diet and exercise make a huge difference. Foods can be positive or negative, that's for sure. May you rest and read well, my friend! 8y

Gezemice @BarbaraTheBibliophage Thank you! I saw your posts and it does seem rather smililar - I hope you find relief and can read well, too! 😀 8y

Praying for an aura & migraine free second half of October. My library holds came in! #libraryhaul #bookhaul

Suzze Nimona! My first graphic novel and now I'm hooked. 8y

Hooked_on_books Three Bags Full is so clever. I really enjoyed it! 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage So many migraines in Litsy today. I had one too, which thankfully has receded. We need hashtags. #migraineandabook #migrainenoreading #migraineandaudiobook 8y

DGRachel @BarbaraTheBibliophage That's a great idea. I've had a bad string all week, which is why I'm finishing Darktown via audio. #migraineandaudiobook 8y

bmsddk Praying for an aura and migraine free second half for you too. @BarbaraTheBibliophage those are prefect hashtags! 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @DGRachel @bmsddk May we all feel better and never need these hashtags. Reality? Probably will use them at least once a week! 😢 8y

bmsddk @DGRachel @BarbaraTheBibliophage It would be nice if we could leave all the nasty things our heads do in a book! Mordor maybe, haha...some forsaken place never to be seen again! At least we can sometimes (when able) escape a little wherever the book takes us ☺ 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @bmsddk Mordor would be a good spot to leave them! 8y
