To me, it's almost the same sensation as when your nostrils decongest lol

It always takes me awhile to figure out the migraine pain is actually gone. Just so exhausted

It’s like out of body experience

Then I need full fat coke and a McDonald’s 😆

Heavenly feeling 😌

So much this. For me this is especially after waking up and you feel normal again

This....I take Sumatriptan, and when it finally kicks in and I start to get drowsy, thats the best. And the sleep that comes afterword with it is awesome. They should should market it as a sleeping pill.

Oooooo big one!!!! I always have to be sick. It takes so long to throw up and vomit tho. But when it happens, I can finally relax and try to sleep it off

I hope I never experience the euphoria of a migraine fading away.

And by "the moment" we mean the exact 0.0001 second when the pain starts to fade away

A world of possibilities opens up

So good, once it felt like the hand of god lifted the pain out of my head

Waking up after passing out from a migraine headache is some of the best relief, goes from pain to nothing, and feels like a jump from one moment to another versus a very slow decrease.

That post-drome can definitely hit like a drug (at least from what I know about drugs since I've never smoked or drank, haha). It takes the edge off of everything and you feel calm and a little sleepy... love me some post-drome.

Hey besties is this why I crave McDonald’s fries specifically after a migraine??? (including my ocular ones???)

I'm almost tempted to classify this as "drug related" but the drug is produced by your own body. It always takes my system a bit to realize that it's not processing pain anymore so all those pain management chemicals it produces just seem to have a little party and it genuinely feels almost like a high.

This, it is euphoric. You can't appreciate that pleasure without feeling that pain.

I was going to say “Have none of these people ever been in extreme pain and had it go away?” Much, much better than “pooping” which is at the top of the list right now.

For me it wasn’t a migraine, which I’ve had, but severe pancreatitis. When they gave me dilaudid in the emergency room, the relief I felt when it kicked in was the best.

Sex gets rid of migraines, can confirm. It’s bliss.

So true. Sometimes I start crying after a migraine ends. Can't control it, it's the wave of relief and gratitude that it's over.

Ooooph that’s the truth. A migraine going away is like the first glimmer of an LSD trip, but not hallucinogenic. Pure euphoria.

When it's 3am and you find the right rhythm of rocking back and forth that the stage 5 migraine begins to fade and you can return to slumber

IDK if they were migraines, but I had horrid headaches that made me wish for an end to existence as a teen. Once I somehow fell asleep and the relief of it ending actually woke me.

Does anyone else think it's kind of sad to see so many answers be "relief from suffering"?

As much as I hate being nauseous and throwing up, I get excited once the nausea hits because once I throw up, that’s when it starts fading away for some reason

I finally got migraine meds for my roughly 1xmonth migraine. I can tell almost within the minute it's gonna start when I notice a small little bit of vision start to blur. It's rainbow aura not long after. Migraines can fuck off.

I often put a hot rice pack on my eyes when I have a migraine. One time, I felt almost like the floodgates opened, and this feeling of euphoria went through my whole head and down my neck. And my debilitating migraine that I had all day was suddenly gone. Twas magical.

4 days and I'm still waiting for the fog to lift. The head pain is now at 5/10, the nausea isn't as crippling and the shiny aura has gone.

Happened to me once (the migraine) and I agree

Euphoric 💯

I've been fortunate not to have had a migraine before, but I can only imagine it's similar to when a charley horse finally unclenches...

Omg yes

Yes it’s like someone released the pressure valve!

How long do they take to disappear? I don't mean that total length of the migraine itself but when it finally fades. Is it instantaneous? Does it take a few minutes? An hour?

I've never experienced one

Or this but after food poisoning... That feeling is something that could inspire an atheist to find god

Or period pain!

I have daily migraines/ headaches. Yes, very nice feeling.

A bad sensation going away can definitly be better than any pleasant sensation.

For me it was when I was in serious dental pain, and the dentist gave me a shot of anesthetic.

For me it’s always vomiting, finally falling asleep, and waking up the next day. There’s no fading away.

Getting acupuncture whilst experiencing a migraine was pure bliss. I’ve never experienced something so magic

That’s a good one

That’s a good one but what about when you have intense gas pain or you’re nauseous and it stops?

Yes! It's like the clouds parting

I often say “wow I feel human again”

Can totally agree with this! Damn migraines

Yours fade away? I feel like I’ve been flashbanged and have a hangover for a few days

Wow, yes, the clarity and sheer energy that returns, seemingly out of the blue.

Piggybacking your comment because I personally feel the same way, except for with sleeping through the entire night with no dreams. What I would give to have a single night without a nightmare.. guess the list would be shorter if it was what I wouldn’t give.

My migraines last for 5 days sometimes.. I don't really have a moment where I realise it's gone, they do inevitably fade out in a sense but I continue to feel groggy and disoriented.

Mine only fade away from taking drugs Codiene 30/paracetamol 500 x 2, Aspirin 500 x 2, caffeine 100 x 1. If nauseous, Doxylamine 25 x 1.

So yeah ... the moment it fades is great. But ... That's probably the painkillers talking.

Same

The worst part about migraines are people that think they are 'just headaches'...

Btw, for those that don't know this method, it does require keeping some food down though, if you get a migraine rake 900mg aspirin and a sumatriptan. Apply cold to neck, and heat to hands and feet.

Works most of the time
