I just tried to do exercise and I was reminded why i don't do that thanks.

my throat hurts and my legs won't stop shaking and i'm so damn dizzy and my bones feel like they're made of water and i can't control my hands even less than normal and my hip is killing me

"just exercise!"

well there goes the rest of my day, thanks.

Ranking my schools for their treatment of my migraines:

Elementary school: Got to lie down in the nurse's office, which was right next to the office and had lots of people going in and out. Also, fluorescent lights that I got yelled at for trying to turn off. Could only lay there for three hours at a time (my migraines usually last from six to eight hours), so I'd get sent back to class after three hours. "Massive, visually distorting migraines" apparently wasn't on the list for reasons why a kid could be sent home (it was only broken bones, vomiting, or fever), so after about two months of that Bullshit, my mom started teaching me how to make myself vomit. 0/10.

Middle school: Got an IEP in seventh grade, so I got to go to hide in the bathrooms if I thought I might be having a "panic attack" (meltdown). Also did this when I was having a migraine. Only a 5/10 because even though the lights were dim in the bathroom, it's still the stall of a bathroom in an American public school.

High school: Got to go lie down on the floor of the counselor's office when I had a migraine, which is marginally better than a bathroom stall, owing to the presence of carpet and lack of Loud People, but it's still the floor of someone's office. 6/10.

TLDR: All schools should have sensory rooms that any student can go to for any reason. And I do mean all schools. "Most people with migraines don't get them until puberty" my ass, I had my first migraine/sensory meltdown when I was in preschool.
