I get periodic migraines that only last a day (not like Willy) but they’re bad enough where I can barely function that day. Super debilitating. Hope it’s getting better for him.
So those big-head-small-face Willy memes were foreshadowing!
Damn where’s that guy who was in a thread a few days ago saying that he’s probably suffering from migraines from the light reflecting off the ice, hence the switch to the tinted visor
*boomers: I lived with migraines, this guy is such a sissy*
Tbh, this sounds like an issue that could possibly keep a player out from TDL till the playoffs.
All part of the plan, boys
Migraines ended Nolan Patrick’s career before it even really started. Hopefully Willy recovers
I’ve only had a migraine once in my life and it only lasted about 2 days but goddamn it took me out.
I just remember laying in bed and thinking “my occipital lobe is trying to become my frontal lobe” because that’s exactly how it felt. I couldn’t imagine it lasting for a week, damn.
I don’t blame him. The Leafs are giving me migraines, too
I get migraines sometimes, and at their worst it’s almost like you can *hear* electricity and pretty much everything aggravates it. All you can do is lay in a dark room with a cold compress, peppermint roll on stick, and water and hope it goes away soon while you try not to vomit. It’s awful and I wouldn’t wish it on even my worst enemy.
My mother used to get cluster migraines. I don’t wish that amount of pain on anyone.
what I hear here is. Willy will go on LTIR all season next year with his 11.5M cap hit, and be ready for Game 1 of the playoffs 😉
I have had exactly two migraines my whole life. I wouldn’t wish them on anyone except my ex wife
I hope everyone who’s making fun of him for this, from those just being flippant to those flat out tearing him a new one for being a “wuss,” suffers a bout of severe migraines tonight.
They are brutal but also kind of rare he has went so long without one this brutal? Usually they are a chronic issue. but he’s seemingly went years now with no flare up this big/long. But weird he hasn’t gone and got the “migraine cocktail” from a doctor yet. Just a IV full of drugs that usually knock them out in severe cases. Though maybe some of those are on the banned substance list I’m not sure.
My mom suffers from basically a permanent migraine most days they are tolerable kind of like waking up slightly dehydrated that feeling others are morphine drip kind of bad. Had them for about 10 years now. So hope it isnt that. Just came out of no where.
Just a reminder to everyone that migraines are not simply a bad headache. They are debilitating
Ah yes the reverse Stone where mysterious injuries start at playoffs instead of ending
Vegas, the team that’s been in 3 SCF’s in 6 years of existence and won a Cup:
2 weeks *before* trade deadline: star player gets a lacerated spleen, freeing up $10M in cap space to spend at the deadline. $10M player returns for game one of the playoffs as the cap is irrelevant.
Leafs, the team that hasn’t seen a SCF in 57 years:
2 weeks *after* the deadline: star player goes down with a high ankle sprain, so the $11M in cap space can’t be spent on new players. As soon as the playoffs begin, a star player suddenly gets sidelined by… migraines, which has never been a significant issue with respect to missing games.
It’s so much fun to be a Leafs fan! GO BUDS!
Disclaimer: I’m not shitting on Willy. I’m shitting on the unlucky circumstances.
I just watched an episode of House, I know what to do. I prescribe LSD and anti depressants thats the cure according to Gregory
I get migraines every April. They usually go away after the first round.
Some migraines can cause jumbled speech and inability to think coherently Sight is affected early on as well before the pain kicks in
As much as this sucks, all this discussion around migraines has made me feel so understood because as someone that gets them, it’s so frustrating to constantly have to explain them to people who’ve been lucky to never get them. As for Willy I seriously hope this is just a bad episode and not an issue that continually worsens. I know he’s battled them before but i hope he never gets a worse one than this one. It’s something totally out of his control and I’m sure he’s dying to get back out there.
