I still hate migraines
My current monthly migraine attack is winding down. By tomorrow I'll probably be pain free and able to think. Right now I'm only okayish. I hate this.
This month I really thought I was going to dodge it. I decided that I was the real problem -- so many people talk about taking meds as soon as they feel it coming on and avoiding a migraine altogether. And I know that I tend to deny any illness in myself so I figured I probably wait too long to take the meds. So I swore to myself I would be a total hypochondriac about it. It seemed like it was working. On Friday and Saturday I popped a pill whenever I started to feel anything remotely like a headache. And the pain would recede and I could function. But Sunday, not so much. It was better than some months, but I still had to retreat to bed regularly and I was never truly pain-free all day. It sucks so much.
So this month I'm going to talk to my doctor about going on Seasonale or just taking my regular bc pill for multiple months at a time. Maybe if I only got 4 migraines a year I'd be more willing to cope. Or maybe they'd be so horrendous it'll be worse. :(
