I do get migraines, although I have them mostly under control at this point. However, after I was told that my boyfriend had been cheating on me for a year, I was gifted with a severe migraine. This migraine came on due to a combination of crying and screaming. The pain would not let up after I tried to calm myself down and then I began vomiting. I put a bag of ice on my head and tried to sleep, but the pain was too much. I had to go to the ER and this guy, who had just broken my heart and was the direct cause of this migraine, had to drive me there. On the way to the ER, he asked me what I was planning to say at the ER. I said that I was going to tell them that I have a severe migraine. He started saying that I should tell them that I was under severe stress and needed something to take for the stress.
Now not only was I in severe pain, but I was concerned that he was trying to have me committed to the psych ward. I was even more upset when he went over to the nurses station and proceeded to whisper something to the medical staff on duty. When the doctor came in to check my vitals, he questioned me about the cause of my migraine and the stressful situation at home. The doctor asked if I was really there due to stress. I said, "I know that he thinks that's what this is, but he doesn't understand migraines." The doctor replied, "Yeah, most people do not understand migraines." I was just thinking, "Thank God. I do not want to end up in the psych ward because of that asshole."
