Ow.

It has (happily) been a while since I had a severe migraine.  Had one last night, which stretched into today.  The huz drove us to work and I was able to get some work done on the research presentation that I'm supposed to give on Wednesday, but had to leave early due to owieness.

I'd forgotten that migraines sometimes come with nausea.  (last night; this part seems to be mostly gone)

I'd forgotten that the nerves affected by migraine go places other than forehead/temples.  They go fun places like into your upper and lower jaw, which is where the pain-center has been hanging out, off and on, for roughly half the day.

I'd forgotten that you really want to sleep A LOT when you have a migraine.  I went to bed around 9 last night.  Woke up a couple of times, but definitely slept 10+ hours.  Then I slept/dozed another two or so in various bits today.

I remember that I'm supposed to feel some better tomorrow, and some/mostly better the day after that.  I do wish I didn't have dress rehearsal for a chorus concert the next two nights!

We now return you to your regularly scheduled whatever.

Ow, I'm sorry. May treatment and sleep be effective and the migraine be brief!

Thanks for the good wishes! Unfortunately, it's rebound headache from over-treating menstrual migraine last week. That's happened often enough overall that I know I'm not done yet - and because it's rebound headache, I can't take medications for it; I just hafta live through it.

Feel better soon! I used to get migraines, so I know how utterly miserable they are. :(
