Day of 4/22
Last night: took meds at 10. had migraine started in the late afternoon. Took advil-no luck. Oxy-no luck. Tried decongestant and stayed up til after midnight to let it work. To bed about 12:30, read in the dark, to sleep about 1 with a peppermint oil compress. Got enough relief to sleep. Woke up with migraine again. Went back o sleep. Worse at 8. Got up, took more decongestant and two cups of coffee and peppermint oil compress. Relief. Energy is good today, which is to say I can move. Migraine returned about 4, however.
I stayed home from work today due to the migraine. Got everything together for tonight's sleep study. Dinner then I go. I hope this migraine goes away before the study. It would be nice for everything to go smoothly tonight.

I hate migraines. They are so debilitating. Hope it has clear and you were able to get your things done feeling better.
I get migraines too. I know how awful that is. My insurance wouldn\'t cover a shot, but I\'ve heard that they can be effective in stopping the migraine. I know what it is to have one for days. It\'s horrible! My heart goes out to you. Try to lie in a dark room today and get some rest. Love you.
Thanks! I had never heard about the shot, triunfadora. I\'m going to look into that and mention it to my doc. Fortunately, it cleared shortly before my sleep study last night and hasn\'t returned today. Thanks for the support!
