Again, not good.  Yesterday I got a migraine.  talking politics.  So I didn't watch the debates.  I took a total of 2 1/2 vicodin, an imitrex and two valium last night.  After reading the Migraine Brain.  I decided to calm my brain down with valium when it gets overexcited.   I think it worked.  Instead of a four day migraine.  (and I had the light/sound issue already which usually means bad news) i had nothing but exhaustion and a little body pain this morning.  Also I learned from the book to take the imitrex at the first inkling of a migraine.  I have in the past waited for pain.  They are SO expensive.  BUT this time I took it fast and THAT may have made the difference.  You never know what does it.   I slept until 9:30..but I've NOT needed a vicodin and I think I'll make the whole day without one.  I go to chruch tonight so if I get that trapped feeling I will simply leave.  I'm learning I can't willpower my way through my triggers.  I have to just leave.   Also I may have to cut the friendship off with Randy.  He bugs me but now that I know his voting intentions - he REALLY bugs me.  I don't need another friend on the "other side"  I need someone who thinks like me.  FORGET tolerance.  I'm tolerant with 99% of the people I see every day.  I need a liberal friend...at least ONE.
