VOY s4e7 "Scientific Method" where Kate Mulgrew decided to go cold turkey from cigarettes prior to filming so as to more realistically portray her stress that the episode required.
I believe it. She genuinely looked like a mess in that episode.
Don’t smoke, kids. It was never worth it.
If you've ever gone through caffeine withdrawals, you'd understand. Caffeine withdrawals can trigger migraines in myself, so it's doubly bad.
What are we doing here, people. She quit cigarettes. Cigarettes contain nicotine. WAKE UP SHEEPLE

I down a lot of caffeine to take the edge off my ocular migraines. Some days, sunlight hurts to look at.
Is that when it feels like my optical nerve hurts when I move my eyes?
If you can, look into Qulipta (migraine preventative) and Ubrelvy (migration abortive) medications. Finally getting into see a neurologist was life changing for me.
I’m going to cry if you just casually solved a life-long problem for me.
I've been dealing with migraines since I was a sophomore in high school. It was a long road getting there. Insurance generally requires older/cheaper medications first (as the above two are not cheap for them). There are lots of other options that may work, but a Neuro (as apposed to a family doctor) will know the options/uses/etc.
Haven't experienced any migraines, but seen enough through friends and coworkers to get that they can be debilitating.
It's mostly a genetic thing (thanks grandma), so you likely never will. I'm jealous
