Migraine

Me too. I know some who do. They sometimes appear to last for a day or more but, with my little experience, I can only relate what others say.

I used to get them more often than now. I usually woke up with them. My head would pound, I would feel nauseated whenever sitting or standing up. I would lie down and take acetaminophen every couple of hours until I felt better, usually mid-afternoon. After forcing myself to eat something, I would feel right by late-afternoon.

The only time I ever tossed my cookies during a migraine was when it developed during the day once.

During a dental visit, it was noted that I grind my teeth at night. After being fitted with and wearing a night guard, my migraines reduced significantly, though I might get one on an annual or semiannual basis.

Thanks for the comments. Feeling a lot better today just feel hungover and like my head is stuffed with cotton wool

I'd do this. I would also try Kool & Soothe.

I sometimes get flashes of light ahead of a migraine, so I learned that if I took a good dose of pain reliever when those lights came, I would actually miss the headache part.

Other times, I just get a really bad headache without lights, and it won't go away with normal amounts of pain reliever and I have to take a bit extra. I should really lay down when that happens, but I think I'm too stubborn and just want to read or use the computer still. It could actually be that those times are when I've already had too much of screens and reading, or too much noise?

Only once has it been bad enough to make me nauseous, and that was years ago. I do my best now to keep up with taking pain relievers to "get ahead of the pain."
