Migraine Manifesto

For the first time this month I have a migraine. It's past 2 a.m. and I can't sleep. I took Excedrin Migraine earlier this evening and the caffeine is keeping me up. Monday morning is technically here and I am still wide awake. I was almost asleep when my aura woke me up again. I see colors and flashing lights when I close my eyes. My mind started racing. Fortunately, I'm on the right meds now so I am not getting these dreaded headaches as often as I was earlier this summer. I'm on Topamax and I'm finally on 75 mcg of Synthroid again. I had to get a little snippy with the doctor's office, but a woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do! This happened in mid July just before my trip down to Dallas. I had migraines on the trip, but now that I've been on this dose of the Synthroid for a full month, I can feel the difference at last! I feel great! Tonight's migraine is hormonal. I'll still get those. There's not much I can do about that. I just wish this one wasn't so abrasive at this particular hour of the night!
