I don’t suffer from migraines myself, but can they really last for over a week???
He’ll be back Saturday I hope if they’re finally saying what it was? 🤞
Edit: lmao the downvotes.. sorry for asking a question guys 😒

They are brutal
SomeoneElseWould
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
SasquatchsBigDick
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.
UnflushableNug
I don’t blame him. The Leafs are giving me migraines, too
dumpandchange
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 😉
ScribblingGrymnic
I have had exactly two migraines my whole life. I wouldn’t wish them on anyone except my ex wife
eagleboy444
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.
Caleb902
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.

Oh man, I feel you and I’m really sorry. Get well homie !

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

I’m in the middle of a migraine that started yesterday afternoon and really picked up into the evening. I slept through it and it’s still there at 24 hrs now. It really sucks

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.
rougekhmero
Well at least he doesn’t have to worry about home games being too loud.
Kidding aside this really sucks because it’s not just something you can heal up from and be ready to go. Totally unpredictable. Also because they’re often induced by stress I can only imagine the stress of entering the playoffs in a Leafs jersey isn’t any help.

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.
Hoardzunit
Fucking atrocious media strikes again and leaks his health information and ailments. Beyond ridiculous. This is exactly why sports fans have been railing on the media so hard lately.
-KevinAndEarth-
He’s a jerk for getting migranes when it matters most. Shame on you Willy. Get better soon.

Ajovy and Nurtec aren’t available in Canada.

Magic mushrooms for migraines. 🍄 Seriously, look into it. Get this man in touch with Michael Buble on the double!
zorrospapa
I get migraines before I have to do something I don’t want to do as well.
Mental-Mushroom
Unfortunately, there’s no playing through a migrane.
Being surrounded by all of that light would basically paralyze me. Everyone is different, but once thing that’s probably the same for everyone who has suffered through migraines, is you’re as good as useless when you have one.
SeatPaste7
How in the FUCK is he even skating, my god.
PenguinsExArmyVet
Some migraines can cause jumbled speech and inability to think coherently Sight is affected early on as well before the pain kicks in
kjb86
So I don’t get migraines but my wife does. So I hear about how brutal they are. So if Willy is suffering then why is he practicing so much and looking really good at it?
spicolispizza
I wonder if he’s suffering from cluster headaches and if anyone has explored Psilocybin even in micro doses to treat them.
I’ve had them before and just a little bit every few years has kept them from ever coming back, at least that’s what I tell myself. 😃
irreversible2002
I have a migraine disorder and just going from my bedroom to the bathroom to pee is excruciating. Theyre no joke.
Bobbyoot47
That’s tough. Feel bad for the guy. Migraines are absolutely dreadful. Looking around social media today and when the topic came up a lot of people responded saying they were suffering from migraines quite often for the first time ever.
Drew_You_To_91
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.

Watching game 1 and 3 gave me migraines too

Someone get this guy some mushrooms

Migraines after an “Upper body injury” sounds like a concussion =T

I can’t believe he got this from a soccer ball
