Felt OK. Tried to go back to sleep after going to the bathroom. Struggled, finally dozed off. Woke again just after 5am. FFFFFF. Migraine. Plus inflammation and whatever misery crap I have lately, at 3am –I felt good, I wanted to stay up but “needed sleep” since I’d woken up too early. A-OK for most folk, but a death knell for me today, most days really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I took Excedrin as I ate a piece of sourdough toast with it. I had to do the Excedrin again this afternoon and lay down for awhile and fell asleep for a bit. But then ADHD mind kicked into high gear and that was that, up and about with a miserable migraine, hot plate pulsing on the left side of my head. Plus all the possible other migraine stuff going on strong, just miserable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No Eletriptan today. I hate having to use it, it does help but I have so many stinking migraines I have no use for it really, though on occasion I have used it. I have 4\/9 left. That means I have used 5. Got this prescription on May 26 and used it twice, once on that Wed. morning, and then again the next day, like a day and half after the first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I took one yesterday and then two others in the past two weeks, which equals 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s with me deciding NOT to take Eletriptan every single time I have a freaking headache. I just can’t, and couldn’t afford that much of it even if it was bodily OK to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This shit is just horrible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
