ugh, i gotta work today. gotta be there in about 2 hours. but i'm having a serious migraine. then again, when are they not serious? people describe them in different ways but for me LIGHT & SOUND are my two worst enemies. the light is TOO bright & the sound is TOO loud...always. i've been having these forever & the only drug i can take to prevent them from happening is terribly expensive (even w/my insurance!), so i must feel the pain. which basically feels like my brain is being squished & squished some more in my head. ugh.
luckily, they usually come around only once a month. but unfortunately, they last from 1-3 days. today is day 2 & 1/2...so if it doesn't go away by tomorrow, that's not good. so i prob won't post anymore today cuz it's quite painful (to those who have never experienced one) to just THINK, which is awful. maybe if i would've slept a little better, it would've gone away. i couldn't sleep well because i was laying down for most the day yesterday. so, when bedtime came around, i just couldn't fall asleep for the life of me. basically, i just couldn't get comfortable. you know how that happens when you've been laying around in the same place for a while?
so i'm going to go so i can get ready & relax for a little before work. closing note: this is why i get pissed off about health insurance & US health care in general. even when in tremendous pain, nothing really can be done simply because i can't afford it. it's terrible...fucking terrible that this happens to people everywhere in this country. i feel terrible for peeps worse off than me.~

3 Curious people had this to say...:
curious to know what medication you are specifically talking about. cuz there are def effective drugs out there. so there might be something else you can try that is cheaper.
i take midrin and it is a miracle! only take them when i need to and my migraine is gone in a snap! as long as i catch it right away! so i always keep some with me, just in case.
with mine i puke and cant see. its horrible. so i know how you feel.
i know you dont have insurance, but if you ever get a chance, try to see a neurologist. get a brain mri. maybe they can see what's going on. sometimes migraines arent' just migraines.
hope you feel better FAST!
thanks diane for your concern/advice. i will look into that medication. yes, i've heard that people throw up & that must be terrible! yeah, my vision gets a lil' blurry but luckily i can still see ok overall. i wrote you an email too (i left a comment on your post yesterday about it) so i could tell you a bit more. thanks again & ttys.~eve
Oh that sucks Eve. I am sorry to hear you have a migraine. I have had them and they are not fun. I wouldn't wish them on anyone. I hope by now you are over it and feeling better. If not then try some warm compresses. Maybe that will help.
