When I woke up yesterday morning I wanted to kill myself. The wind was howling outside and I felt it right through the left side of my head and neck. I'd had my max of tryptans already this week (only 2 allowed per week) so I tried a 400 mg Advil and strong coffee immediately (my hub brought it to the bed...I couldn't move) and a cold pack to the head. Surprisingly, I made it through the day with only a mild headache remaining. The worst thing about this is that it makes it difficult to commit to performing or working solo, or even joining groups. I continue to drive alone but always have meds at the ready. Very few visual auras, though. Don't know why I've had a few at all. I thought that people either had auras or they didn't. Most migreurs do not have auras. ~b.w.
