There is something called a silent migraine. It's all the other symptoms minus the headache pain. I have a book called The Migraine Brain that's great. I didn't know that technically migraines don't fall into the headache category. They are vascular or result of cortical depression (not referring to psych depression btw). Keep trying different docs til you find a good one cuz there are a TON of bad ones, and if they find out someone is a psych patient, we tend to get dismissed. You should still tell them your background though. Pain like that plus sleep deprivation can make a person seriously lose it. Been there before! The parent thing sucks too and my fam was the same way. Once they took me to the ER against my will due to violence and psychosis, they realized this wasn't just me being overly dramatic. Too bad I was 36 by then [emoji20]. Just stay on the forums and vent. That's why we r here.
