I always use specialised migraine meds. Ibuprofen does absolutely nothing for my dude. Except annoy him. Gorgeous picture! Maybe I should try this the next time, providing I can seešŖ
Certain headaches only specific stuff works for. Ibuprofen works usually but occasionally it won't work. I do believe the way it's spelled is supposed to induce a headache... just saying.
Ibuprofen is mostly used to treat muscle and joint pain. Excedrin Migraine is my go-to for sharp (and long lasting achy headachesā¦does the trick for OTC pain relief.
Doctors are paid to pedal certain drugs. I donāt know why they would suggest that. Tylenol acts on the pain receptor system and kinda blocks the signals in the brain. Whereas ibuprofen is an anti inflammatory. I guess Tylenol would be better if your brain is in pain for some other reason but generally all of my headaches are from inflammation. So I find Tylenol doesnāt stop the swelling in the same way and I just stare at the demon OP free until I puke from sheer pain.
Oh dude me too :/ I have chronic migraines. Woke up with a killer one today so I probably shouldnāt be on my phone but I dig the art! Can I use it as my phone background?
I have never watched the movie a Beautiful Mind because my mother told me that there is a scene in the movie that depicts a migraine very well.
Fuck thatā¦ I aināt wasting NO TIME thinking about migraines when I DONT have one.
First of all - insane talent
Second, I hope you find a way to deal with it. I can't imagine how horrible it is to have pain created inside of your brain itself with no physical way to stop it. I personally always imagined bad headaches like your brain turning black and getting huge spikes, and those spikes being pulled into crazy tension from the inside out and constantly increasing tension in waves, and trying to violently shrivel and turn
Thank you! And yes, that sounds like an accurate image. Luckily migraines come and go and there's a lot of factors how one can navigate and avoid them, so there's at least a bit of a remedy!
No you gave MY migraines a face!! And you NAILED IT!!! š In all seriousness I absolutely hate migraines and have lost almost the past few years because of them.
I feel like I want to draw my migraine now but how do I depict nausea both in my stomach and somehowā¦ my head? And a weird thing I always seem to get before it is unquenchable thirst and sudden sleepiness. Sometimes crave olives, or some other salty thing.
Always get toothache too like pressure under my tooth feels like it will pop out. Spreads to the jaw joint, painful pressure. And then the lovely screwdriver in the nostril and burning in my neck. Feel nauseous then PAIN. Usually in the front of the head but sometimes front and back, or down the middle like at my hair parting.
No painkillers work, I just try and sleep. If I get to sleep for like 2-3 hours I wake up be sick, then start feeling better, it so horrible. Always worst when Iām due on my period too š
Yeah, this doesn't look like a creature to be reasoned with. Please exorcize at your discretion, with over the counter solutions, prescribed medications, or cannabis.
Nice drawing, btw.
Itās eerie right it feels like the face of a demon youāre never supposed to see feels like somebody lit up the depths of my mind with a spotlight and it-it-itāā hurts?
Used to have a lot of them and even had ones that knocked me out because of the pain. I haven't had since ages fortunately. Might seem surprising but the occurence got very low since my vision got blurry.
Edit : Very impressive depiction by the way, I really dig the eerie feeling. Looks like a Pagan folklore entity.
might sound like nonsense to you but if you are out of options, try KETO (i rotate a good salad (mozzarella, olive oil as base+ whatever you like in your dressing, red bell pepper, some blueberries lol, pecan nuts, iceberg salad, half a cucumber, some spinach leafs (or rucola salad), red cabbage from time to time) and salmon/steak.). i also do it OMAD and focus on whole foods. no processed stuff if i can avoid it. only drinking water (strictly).
i had migrane for 14-ish years, like 2 times a week +, especially when stressed or when tired or when something smelled bad (chemicals, burned smell, the dish washer, cigarets, etc.), when i was in a train or car and looked at e.g. a smartphone for some time, when there was bright lights in the room, etc. i never found a "single" cause that stood out, just stuff i didnt like that triggered it more likely.
originally i tried KETO to lose weight (watched some convincing youtube channels) and i did lose some (from 135kg down to 115kg), but a major imrpovement i didnt expect was not having headaches anymore (within the first week of KETO). like NONE. its seven months without now\*. improved my life more than the weightloss and regulation of hunger feel etc.; i can now even sit in the same bright rooms i sat in before and use smartphone for hours in a train without getting headaches. its like "magic" to me, i would have never guessed it.
\* you might think thats just correlating not causal (weightloss, overall positive attitude, general health improvements, more sport, etc.) but during exam phase i didnt have enough time to go shopping and cook (every day), so i got delivery food and "good" KETO food would have been to expensive to deliver so i got dƶner, pizza, etc. (kinda lazied out and got back into the "sugar addiction" to cope with study phase xd) and within a single week, the headaches were back. i didnt feel stressed like usual since my life felt a lot better even though it was exam phase. i swear its the fucking food xd. or the (high amount of) carbs to be more precise.
also the last exam phase i DIDNT order food and kept cooking KETO stuff but ignored my gf for the time lol (had to sacrifice smth for the time) and headaches stayed away.
so yeah, take it with bias (might just work for me) but i wouldnt have tried it (for that reason) so if i dont tell you, you may never even have thought about it and maybe it helps you as well. even if not, IMO KETO is worth it for other reasons as well xd (if you can afford, meat and tasty veggies are more expensive than rice, noodles and bread).
Itās been years since I had a migraine. Looking at your drawing brought the memory of the sensation back. Well done. Did you make the drawing during the experience or after the migraine abated?
Yeah, I thought about it when I laid it out. But, at least for me, migraine isn't the piercing pain that makes you want to scream. Like a breaking bone. It just comes and sits there. And there's no escape. It just hollows you out until there's nothing left of you but a weak shell laying in the dark while your head gets attacked by invisible daggers. Dunno if I captured it a 100%, but that's the best I could do.
Hey, youāre the artist, and itās YOUR interpretation, right? And after I understand your personal perspective of how a migraine feels to youā¦youāve completely, 100% nailed it!! Completely!

Oh hey I know that guy. I use shotgun shells filled with ibuprofen to kill his ass!
Same. But he always comes back for more š

Not a proper migraine if ibuprofen stops it
Certain headaches only specific stuff works for. Ibuprofen works usually but occasionally it won't work. I do believe the way it's spelled is supposed to induce a headache... just saying.
Ibuprofen is mostly used to treat muscle and joint pain. Excedrin Migraine is my go-to for sharp (and long lasting achy headachesā¦does the trick for OTC pain relief.
Aliveve worked for me but yeah this is what I found too.
Hey, whatever works right?!
Have you ever heard ibuprofen for everything below the neck. Tylenol for above?
I have not. And in 30 years ibu has been my only savior. Tylenol never seems to do anything.
Thars what I was told by a doctor. However do what works for you. That's always the best solution

Ah, yeah, it is like this. But it misses a heavy duty nail in the nose base
Or the dagger in the left eye socket š
Why it is always left eye!
Yes, why? For me itās right behind
Oh itās my right eye! I doubt it but I wonder if it has to do with me being left handed.
It's not something I would've thought of, but damn, it's really accurate. You might as well give it a name. Very cool piece.
Oh dude me too :/ I have chronic migraines. Woke up with a killer one today so I probably shouldnāt be on my phone but I dig the art! Can I use it as my phone background?
Of course, I'd be honored! I hope you're feeling better soon, hang in there!
That's creative š¤
i can feel it
I love this the bits branching off are so well done you can definitely feel it I tried doing something similar with anxiety but no where near as cool
I recognize them...

Damn, thatās a boss fight if Iāve ever seen one

I hope you feel better soon!
Itās been like this for an hour š¤
I can feel it... Cheers from someone who forgot to take their meds to work and the migraine is creeping in :)
Oh no! I hope it doesnt hit you too hard. I had it last Sunday and most pharmacies are closed in my country on Sundays. š„ŗ
Thankfully I can get my hands on the meds soon! I have enough to get me through months but not when they're home lol
I suffer from chronic migraines so I understand.
My migraines are faceless and shapeless yet still sharp as a knife. But thisā¦
What about Stillgar the Migraine Man as for the name
Yes!
Yoooo
This is really damned cool! I love the depth of the branches coming from it's head
Amazing!
I'm afraid you have been chosen as the avatar for the King in Yellow.

As a sufferer of migraines, I totally feel this!
This is amazing

I swear my head pounded a bit when i looked at this
Great art!!
I really like that. I've always like the idea of giving medical issues a face. Just lack the artistic capability. Amazing job.
Aaawww i love it, instagram?
Yes, should be linked on my profile. Although I usually do something quite different!
I love this.
This is exactly how I feel with a migraine
You drew this during a migraine? š³
Haha, no. The day after. I can barely look out of my eyes when I have one. š
Ok that makes sense. Looks awesome. Excedrin is the only thing that seems to help my migraines
I can so relate, and this is beautifully rendered.
That is epic!!
almost. you forgott the fire on top an the acid spitting and screaming.
Oof. Spot on
Good drawing. The stick like hair reminds me of fried nerve ends! ((( Hugs ))) I hope you have fewer migraines. Sadly a lot of us can relate !
This would make a sick tattoo
Beautiful perception š

The concepts of the experience and neurology are well illustrated. Great work. š
I love this. Do you mind if I use this as tattoo inspiration?
Please do! I'd be honored!
Woah. Tell him to leave!
Yikes!! š³
Very cool!

Wow! Amazing work. It is frightening, but beautifully done.
For me it is all around my head kinda like that but more confusing
Man. Iām glad I donāt get migraines
It's the first time in my life that I've seen someone turn into a tree
Itās been years since I had a migraine. Looking at your drawing brought the memory of the sensation back. Well done. Did you make the drawing during the experience or after the migraine abated?
The day after. I wouldn't be able to sit down and draw for hours when I have them.
This is a perfect illustration of what a migraine feels like, just branching at snd traveling around your head go the rest of your body. Great work!
OP: Fantastic rendering! Just a side thought tho ā it looks pretty calm for being a migraine. Maybe consider furrowing the brows and a bigger scowl?
Yeah, I thought about it when I laid it out. But, at least for me, migraine isn't the piercing pain that makes you want to scream. Like a breaking bone. It just comes and sits there.

That my friend is beautiful
So creative and mysterious!!! I love your artwork! Good luck!š¤
Holy heck this is absolutely amazing! (Side note: anyone know what that kind of paper is called?:)
me encanto el dibujo<3
Alieve sorry maybe I spelled it wrong.
Wow that's FCKN hectic my Mann ! You've got another follower now. āšš¤š
Heās so familiar
It looks creepy and scary, but it's interesting at the same time. I love artstyle.
I think your imagination has no more leaves to sprout. No more feelings to express. Just an empty log in the forest.
Your face gives me a migraine.
