Patty amd I had a brilliant day yesterday. Then I got the worst migraine I've ever had (way out of order -- waves of nausea, then fine, the the actual head pain and light sensitivity a few hours later) -- it scared the shit out of me, I don't remember lots of it, and although I seem to be okay now, I'm moving around very cautiously, while Patty's still asleep as she was up very late.

I got my first migraine in graduate school. I'd never had one before and it was terrifying. Black spots, nausea, then total light/noise sensitivity. Oh - and hallcinatory smells. I smelled barbeque for the entire time. Disturbing. I had that first one for like 3 days.

After that I learned to be really vigilent to the signs of them, and if I started getting the signs of one and went home immediately to lay in a dark room, then I could ward it off. Also, wearing sunglasses in studio if I absolutely HAD to work helped too.

Ugh. I am so sorry. I am soooo glad that it seems to have disappated though, and I hope it does NOT return today or any time soon! :/

I deeply sympathize. Are you taking anything for them? Relpax has been working okay for me. And yeah, that day after isn't too fun. The pain's gone, but you feel weak and shaky.

I've got a doctor's appointment Thursday because my migraines have become more frequent. The last really bad one coincided with my annual gyn appt, and the gynecologist told me to see my pcp about getting something preventative.

Hope y'all have a brilliant day without any misery. Be well. Happy 4rth.

Crap. I send you as many full-recovery-real-quick-now vibes as possible. I've had the bastards since I was about nine, and Mr. Vicodin is my friend. I can sometimes ward them off with the judicious application of Maxalt, but the best thing I've done is start taking Razadyne (generic is galantamine), which has cut occurrence almost in half).

Oh, and I don't eat raw onions anymore. They start migraines faster than politics in my case.

All of which rambling about *my* problem is merely to say, again, I hope you recover soon and ward of the next one.

Oh, man, I used to get "backwards migraines," too, when the visual distortions would hit when I was lying in bed finally feeling the pain subside. Still do, sometimes. Weird shit.

Did you get any kind of visual weirdness beyond the photosensitivity?

Curious because I get mine out of order fairly regularly, up to and including not getting any of the head pain at all.

Ooh. Hope you felt better for the Fourth.
