This comment made my day!
YEP! Can you imagine how whiney he probably is to the doctors and nurses?
He hadn’t blown his nose in 3 years. That’s all.
Because he had no Excedrin? I hope he’s ok.
Hey, I used to have migraines. I have gone to urgent care for them before. Believe me, they are bad! I thought I was going to have a stroke and die I was in so much pain.
Yikes! Are you better now? I only get headaches during shark week so I can’t imagine the pain.
I’ve had to go to the ER once myself for one. I honestly thought I was going to die. I felt a bit embarrassed because I knew it was a migraine, or had started out like that, but it definitely was bad enough to get over that and make someone drive me to the nearest hospital. They gave me a shot and it cleared up.
After I caught meningitis, I had bad headaches for a solid year, ended up in the hospital a few times. Excedrin works (since they pulled them off the shelves, and reconfigured Advil Migraine works better) but you have to take them before it really hits for it to help.
Me too, my whole life unfortunately. I wouldn’t wish that pain on anyone. But I will say that the medication (triptans) they’ve had for the past 20 years or so makes such a huge difference. In an hour, you can be almost pain free, as opposed to spending a day or two completely out. Now if only they could be a little less expensive…
I’ve already fainted because of a migraine… It’s not a normal headache…No painkillers worked, except for the one they gave me at the hospital, intravenously. I remember I could actually hear my on heart beat because of the pressure in the veins and asked the doctor if they were giving morphine, so strong the pain was… So yeah, migraines can make you end up in hospital… Nowadays I deal with them much better, but…I still feel nauseated and have trouble with the light and sounds…
I feel your pain. I am in my thirties and have been having migraines since I was six years old. Once had a migraine that last for five days straight.
My brother lost the ability to speak, we thought he has having a stroke, it was extremely scary. It was a tremendous relief to learn at the hospital it was a migraine and not a stroke but it was incredibly frightening.
I never understood migraines until I got them myself. The pain was horrific. It was like having a too tight steel band around my head and someone hitting it with a baseball bat. Light and noise made it even worse. Had to go to the ER a couple of times because only a shot of whatever that medicine was made them go away.
NOTPRETENTIOUS I hear ya. My hubby once found me lying naked and banging my head on the floor. But somehow Kanye is so whiny about everything it seems like he would turn a “headache” into a “migraine.” That’s a mighty quick recovery to doing a loud concert with bright lights and smells and every other migraine trigger! I usually feel like I’ve been hit by a bus after a migraine.
I still have daily migraines and they’re horrible (I am taking medication now that has helped) and honest to God some days they were so painful i felt like I was dying. So before people are so quick to shade Kanye and mock him maybe you should see what it’s like to have migraines. Especially when it’s so sudden and you don’t know what’s going on.
I’m glad you made the comment you did because I was going to be so disapointed if everyone thought this situation was funny. (Where are all my fellow migraine sufferers who shared their stories on that Daniel Radcliffe thread? Yeezus needs some defending haha)
It sounded like they thought it was an aneurysm. If you have a migraine headache, a seizure and pass-out…that could be an aneurysm. I would rather be safe than sorry.
Well at least his wife and team really like him.
Migraines. Yikes. Drink lots of water Kanye.
And I think I’m with the Tater on the porcelain dolls thing.
He gives me a headache. I should have that checked.
“It feels like Jamie Chung is everywhere these days”
I agree, and I still have no idea who she is and what she does.
Like, there is Jamie King and there is Alexa Chung… but she is neither.
That’s as far as my brain gets.
LOL. True, I bet most of CB have no clue who they are and what they do(I’m a culprit).
People who suffer migraines can seizure. Migraines go beyond headaches. I know MK is a hilarious snark king, but I can feel for Kanye in this circumstance. And now I also feel like a dirty reality urine saturated blow-up doll. Thanks a lot Kaiser and MK. Thanks a lot.
Lol, no, you’re right. Not about being a dirty reality urine saturated blow-up doll, but about migraines. They are way beyond a headache. I have friends who have gone to the ER to get a shot for them. For once, and I can’t believe I’m typing this, I’m on Kanye’s side.
Kid Kirdashian 4eva!
You obviously did not read the TMZ account of Kanye’s visit to the ER in AU. His security forced everyone out of the waiting room AND everyone out of the exam rooms (and, I guess, out of the hospital). Completely ludicrous, and totally irresponsible of the hospital.
Migraines may be bad (if that’s what he had at all – he recovered quickly enough to do his show that night) but certainly don’t warrant kicking everyone else out of the hospital because the douche had to have “privacy.” More importantly, why do people enable him?
If Kanye had a real migraine no one should snark. They are so painful and that’s not even if they get bad enough to cause other health issues.
Some that may only just last a few hours can be so hellish that people consider ending their lives not able to think rationally enough to know the pain will end on it’s own.
There’s a quote–this not it exactly, but something along the lines of– Knowing that a migraine won’t kill you can feel, in the moment, like cold comfort indeed.
@Kiddo Kanye was also in a horrible accident years ago so he could’ve thought that whatever was happening to him could’ve been an effect from his old injuries (I do know he still deals with certain injuries from the accident to this day)
He was contemplating his own genius and Kim wouldn’t shut up about her selfie book.
I gave myself a shot for a migraine this morning, and am still sitting in a room with all the shades drawn even though the headache is mostly gone…because I’m afraid it will come back. I tend to undertreat myself-meaning that I wait too long to medicate or to go to the ER (Urgent Care here won’t treat migraines) and unfortunately that can make the headache worse. I get 34 shots of Botox every 3 months to try to prevent my migraines. However, whether my headache rates a 1 or a 10, there is NO EFFING WAY I’m *going* to a concert with a migraine, much less performing at one. I’m wondering if his pants actually caught on fire as he left the hospital?
I have worked with migraines, down to the bone painful flu, and a host of other things. Chances are he got the ‘good stuff’ in order to soldier through, where the rest of us hold off from collapsing until we get home. Still, I think this shows professionalism. Oh for cryinoutloud, I’m defending him again.
Kiddo,
Yeah, what’s that stuff they give you in the ER? Wipes it out in no time flat! I give him props for pulling it together and still going on. If it were me, I would have just slept for a day in a dark room.
ugh, sorry to hear about your migraines. that’s awful. (i went through a period of them in college, and wouldn’t wish that on anyone.)
but, like you said, there is no way someone with an actual migraine (versus a bad headache), or getting over one, would ever go to a concert. no way in hell. he’s being a kardashian-level drama queen here.
+1.
I’ve had migraine episodes for years and the pain is so bad that I can’t do anything. No way could I attend a concert, to say nothing of performing in one! Either they have Waaaay better migraine meds in Oz or something else is going on if he performed hours later. I’m raising the B.S. flag.
As a migraine sufferer since I was 12, now in my 50s, they suck — the only things that have helped me personally (and not everyone will find them helpful) are: acupuncture, a calcium-magnesium supplement and using acupressure before they go full-blown. And migraines are a symptom of a neurological system sensitivity or disorder, they ARE NOT JUST HEADACHES!
So be strong my fellow migraineurs, be strong! http://migraine.com/blog/the-migraine-dirty-dozen-things-not-to-say-to-a-chronic-migraineur/
I’ve had them for decades too–for me, the triptans (imitrex, etc) really knock it out. I can go from wanting to rip my head off to feeling pretty good in about an hour. Life changing, really.
i have migraines too!!! it’s horrible.. somehow i prevent them..in the minute I start to feeling a little pain in my head i take a pill and go to a dark room. but they are awful.
This was what I was thinking myself. I also do the botox thing but I’ve still had at least 4-5 ER visits in the last 6 months because my nausea gets so bad that I just keep barfing nonstop for hours and on occasions days at a time. Makes it hard to take my meds to back the evil thing off. I’ve even started giving myself my own injections of anti-nauseants. Seriously it’s like being an unwilling bulimic. I gotta agree though that even with a good dose of whatever drug they’d give at the ER [likely tordol] there is no fricking way that I would be capable of a concert. When I get home from the hospital I’m barely able to manage to drink out of a glass without spilling it all over myself.
The local emerg room on the coast stopped giving shots for migraines. They had way too many addicts developing migraines coming in, requiring a shot. You only get the shot if you agree to stay the night.
You make an interesting point. When my brother was stricken by a debilitating migraine the hospital wouldn’t release him for about three days. He was able to speak again but in no condition to “go on stage” later the same day as the initial attack.
Kanye, if you try and contemplate your genius and the mystery of Kim’s behind at the same time, yes you’ll get a migraine. One thing at a time man, one thing at a time.
And the MRI stated he has no brain.
Ha!
LOL. Nope just a lot of hot air.
He’s a really, really rich individual with great musical talent, that people are willing to pay him millions to enjoy, but “he has no brain”, whereas I am a really, really smart individual with very little money in comparison to him so I wonder if, he’d do a switch, he gets my brain and my bills and I get his life. 😉
Money is nice, but it’s not worth the hassle. I want enough but I would never want to be Kanye or Kim or any other money/fame grubber. Money is so corrosive, much better to stick to the low road.
I used to work at a place that did medical imaging and it was a typical joke when testing the MRI to “pan out” the person’s brain in some of the shots so it looked like they had an empty head on the scan.
I think that in recent years, we’ve started calling every bad headache a migraine. It’s too bad we’ve watered down a diagnosis that, for real sufferers, is life changing.
Yeah, my SIL will call me from work and say let’s go shopping and btw, I have a migraine. Uh, no you don’t. Or you would be in a completely darkened room with a cold rag on your head and a vomit bucket nearby.
Cosign Elizabeth Banks. I think she is a terrific comedic actress, and just a cool person in general.
I used to have those debilitating migraines, when I had it I would throw-up, I would be unable to walk straight, sometimes even walk, I would even have to take to bed with sleeping pills and a cold wash cloth across the forehead.
The doctor told me it was totally related to stress, I had a job where the pace was not only frantic but the decisions were causing tension and worry, and I didn’t want to disappoint my MD. Eventually I had to quit my job in order not to totally destroy my health.
Now the migraines are a distant horrible memory.
Kanye is doing back to back concerts in Australia, he is doing what other Artists are smart enough not to do – Nobody performs back to back concerts, he’s lucky it’s only migraines.
Why aren’t back to back concerts done?
Physical draining energy, that requires time for the body to recuperate???????
There are a few Artists who have tried it and they mostly ended up at the end of a drip, in the medical wards, also Kanye is 37, his quick recuperative powers are dimming.
Just traveling to Australia is exhausting, it’s like a 24 hour trip from the states.
Yes, I notice that in Priscilla Queen of the Desert, during the bus trip.
One of my fav movies. 🙂
As a migraine sufferer, I recommend trying…I kid you not..to give yourself a brain freeze. And if that doesn’t work, go old school with magnesium and a BC powder. Trust.
A second mention of magnesium here……most interesting. Miracle supplement, imo, and a substance most women are deficient in, they tell us.
(I rely on it to alleviate the curse of ‘restless legs’, preventing sleep) Amazing stuff.
It’s only the voices in his head, as they will not be denied.
Someone being ill pleases you? Hope you will never have to face illness, people might act the same way towards you.
Ok, I understand the written word is tricky to say the least, but I don’t think @KayLastima was implying anything outside of the “news” being about K.W. I did not get from her post that she was mocking the mentally ill or being ill in general. Just that this is news and got press, while illness (the great majority) is something that does not get the attention it deserves.
i’m pretty sure that was a joke… no need to get upset.
@AG
Maybe I too would find it light, joking material if I didn’t know the distress of migraines, because some people with persistent migraine have been known to commit suicide, there were time in the middle of an episode that I wouldn’t have minded falling asleep and not waking up, ever.
Sorry if I jumped to a wrong conclusion but illness is never something I take lightly, because we know “it’s today fro you, tomorrow for me” when it comes to illnesses.
i understand what you’re saying, but making fun of kanye for, well, being kanye doesn’t equate making fun of anyone who’s sick.
@Gypsy I’m so with you on this! Some days my migraines got so bad I thought I would rather die, even thinking about them now makes me so upset because they were completey dehabilitating to the point where I didn’t know what to do and couldn’t think. I’m shocked so many people are making jokes about this subject, but maybe they’ve only ever had headaches so they don’t know what it’s like to have a migraine
I have had migraines, my daughter has migraines. It was a joke at Kanye’s expense, albeit a poor one in retrospect.
I can’t hate nor snark on Kanye for blinding migraines. I feel for him.
I know about migraines … but being that is K.W. … a man that has no credibility in my eyes due to all the stuff that comes out of his mouth, I have to write … what? he could not go to a pharmacy?? Had to go to a hospital instead? Wasted resources!!
Poor Channing. I too suffer from pediophobia.
Migraines can be a symptom of other things going on.
He was probably just being cautious, there’s nothing wrong with that.
I knew someone who complained of bad headaches for about two weeks ,but never checked with doctors about it and one day he just keeled over into a coma and was gone in 48hrs. He had a aneurism.
It’s better to check on ones health and be safe than sorry, even if it turns out to be nothing.
I sympathize with him having a bad migraine but not with the reports of how him and “his people” behaved in the hospital clearing out the whole ward including people who had scheduled appointments.
I read somewhere there were people with scheduled surgery and all.
Don’t really care for this guy but I hope he’s feeling better. As someone who’s experienced some pretty bad migraines myself, I wouldn’t wish them on anyone.
I thought someone would say it was a “kimigraine. What is that face mask ? creepy
Yes the masks kinda creepy, but The teens in my family ,tell me He’s playing on the myth he’s a godlike and the illuminati Rumours the kids seem to love buying into these days, with music artist.
Do people realise that he closed down an entire A & E ward for his ‘migraine’ and that seriously ill patients had to be moved while his entourage was taking over the ward?
He should be checked into a high security psych ward. Forever.
