I developed a migraine about mid-day yesterday, one of those that starts out as a moderately bad headache with odd visual effects, but warns you that it's going to get ever-so-much-worse if you give it a chance. I managed to tough it out for the rest of the day at work with the help of the "small" migraine drugs, but I was pretty much toast by the time I got home last night. I took it easy, tried to avoid using my eyes, took more medicine, and hoped for the best. Despite that, I woke up with it still going on this morning. About half an hour ago, I'd had enough of trying to cope and took one of the "big-gun" pain pills. I still hurt, but nowhere near as badly, and I could even probably get some work done. Of course I'm also loopier than a loon, so any work I get done will have to be reviewed later for, y'know, coherency. But it still beats the heck out of where I was before. Now if the darn thing would only choose to go away sometime soon...

Ice bags. Caffiene. Dark rooms.

Oh yeah, and no cats "helping" you rest.

My congratulations though if you're managing to stay upright. When I migraine either the pain, the light sensitivity, or the migraine pills are enough to keep me down.

Cats in the bedroom do NOT help. Trust me on this one.
