i've cracked it, the perfect way to describe the start/warning signs of a migraine (for me anyway) before the pain/aura kicks in properly

yknow when one of your shoes is tied tighter than the other, just slightly so neither of them are extremely tight or loose, but the discrepancy is just enough to be viscerally uncomfortable? it's like that but instead of shoes it's brain hemispheres

aura is stage 2 which i've just hit: half my brain is running on fumes and the other half is running on badly contained nuclear reactions

stage 3 is ow

i'm going back to bed

I did not need to be dealing with a migraine at 2am.

Fuck off you inconvenient shitheap.

thespineanditstingle replied to your post:Soo I have a horrific migraine and can’t sleep,...

if you haven’t got triptans sitting around the house, benzos - especially clonazepam (klonopin) - can alleviate discomfort. i’ve also improvised a passably effective sleep mask with a pillow cover+stapler.

LOL at first i imagined taking a lot of benzos and stapling a pillow to my face and it sounded a lot nicer than it really should

unfortunately all I have in the house is tylenol and I think I've pretty much taken the maximum safe dose already... I seem to be having good results with an ice pack/lots of water/tiny amounts of coffee/making myself throw up before the nausea gets debilitating, I feel the postdrome starting to come on on so hopefully it will be over soon
