Long time no post

Long time no energy. Lupus patients have more difficulty with heat and high-humidity summers are brutal for asthma patients and this summer has blessed us with both as well as bloody-minded migraines, so I've not been at my best

... I don't remember if I've mentioned this, but you do have migraine meds, right? Only, Geordie gets migraine and once I bullied him into getting got him to get medication for them, they stopped being nightmares and became minor events.

I don't know if they'd be right for you, but if you haven't looked at them, ... well, please do. From what I've seen Geordie go through, they're clearly hellish and I'd love it if some of your physical struggle was abated.

(And if I've mentioned this before, I'm SO SORRY for being a forgetful dip.)

*hugs*

I've had migraines all my life. There used to be medications I could take, but two were discontinued back when I was a teen and young woman, respectively. Most of the new batch are not safe to take if you have lupus or are too hard on the stomach, and the others I've been given or offered leave me either in a coma-like sleep or staring into space and drooling, so no, I cannot and will not take migraine meds.

What I take is white tea and aspirin. Cuts the edge off the worst of the pain when they're bad, but usually all I can do is sleep them off and hope they don't get too bad.
