Migraines

I am pretty sure my new pattern is one really bad migraine a month that lasts for day. Since it had been a week since I had a migraine and 2.5 weeks since a migraine that I needed to take actual migraine medication for I am still pretty amazed at how well the topamax is working. However, the migraine I had yesterday I couldn't get rid of. I threw everything I had at it and was able to go to Craig Ferguson but the drive home was pretty terrible. I ended up having to take two doses of vicodin to finally get to sleep about 2:30 AM, which is insane for me.


BTW, Craig Ferguson? He was awesome, I laughed so hard that I forgot that my head hurt for a good 45 minutes.

If memory serves you aren't big on Eastern treatments like Reiki. But you might want to consider giving it a try. The wife of a friend was having bad headaches all week, she too is a migraine sufferer. I gave her a ten minute Reiki treatment and six days later, when I spoke to her, she said she didn't have any headaches at all since I did the Reiki.

Sometimes a fun activity can make a migraine "go away" for a while because of a mind distraction. But I am glad you finally got to sleep though.

!!! When did you steal our Craig Ferguson? I still have videos of him from the 80's... now I feel old.

He has been here for a long time. He is awesome. Don't worry, we are treating him well.

It's a shocker to see him so mainstream. I always thought he was quite niche.
Has he lost the Glaswegian accent?
