Welcome To MigraineLand

[annuin]

So I thought it was only a headache, but 24+ hours later and the 2 Aleve I took early this evening not even making a dent, it's official... it's a migraine.

And I was exposed to my trigger Saturday night too... incense (sorry verv :P).




Hello MigraineLand, say hello to paracetamol with codeine! and here's hoping it makes a dent.




Oh I long for a Mersyndol. Pity they don't have those over the counter here in the US like they do in AU. Mersyndol is paracetamol with codeine and a muscle relaxant, the one they use in Nyquil that makes you drowsy... 2 of those babies were the only things to get me to sleep the last time I had a migraine, which lasted 2 weeks. It was blissful unconciousness amidst stabbing pain. At least the migraine isn't that severe, but I wouldn't have minded one to help me sleep tonight.

It's okay. Usually it has to be lots of incense before I get a migraine, and most of the time scented stuff only gives me a mild headache sometimes.

My one and only previous migraine, which lasted 2 weeks, was when tks and I were out and about in Windsor (AU) and entered some witchy type store, which was the size of a small closet and had an incense stick burning in each of the 4 corners.

It's also not one of the light-sensitive need-to-lie-very-still-under-the-covers ones either, I just have a constant moderate headache. So do-able, though I'm not going to karate today.
