This is a story of me; day by day dealing with gastroparesis, chronic migraines, chronic knee and shoulder pain, and IBS-C. There are pieces of me thrown in for good measure. Positive by nature; tough by design.

Me: I am perhaps already the undead, hauling my body around this mortal realm, haunted by the souls of the damned and the hungry who feast on my muscles and bones until I shall be dragged to hell once more
Doctor: …once again I don’t know where that is on a 1-10 pain scale

Remembering this is key. I often forget this. Reminders are good things.
I’ve heard people say, “If you really had a migraine, then you’d be in bed nearly dying”. It’s true for some people. It’s also untrue for others. It generally depends on the migraine intensity and symptoms.
You don’t necessarily get used to migraines, so much as you learn to cope at various pain levels with an increase in experience. Chronic migraines are something you have to pace yourself with, and you learn about that over time as you test yourself.
So if you get migraines, know this: No matter what your activity level is while enduring a migraine, you’re an amazing, tough person. Don’t doubt that for a second. You know what you can and can’t do while hurting. Don’t let anyone invalidate that for you.
