Migraines are one of the worst and most all-encompassing episodes I have ever dealt with. If you catch them early enough, you can avoid the severe light-sensitivity, sound-sensitivity, stomach pain, vomiting, and persistent brain-crushing pain.
That is only if you have techniques to help ward off a full-blown episodes.
Although I deal with migraines fairly frequently, I am lucky -> I have responded well to a medication. When I take the dissolvable tablets, my migraine dulls to a simple throbbing within half an hour. When every second is excruciating, half an hour can feel like a lifetime.
The Lighter Side of Migraines is that the medication I take for them also helps me sleep.
Lately I have been dealing with some pretty significant insomnia, which is one of the biggest triggers for migraines. The less sleep I experience, the more frequent the migraines become.
It is vital for me to get a decent amount of proper sleep, which is really tough when you deal with painful conditions that make it difficult to find comfort, sleep disorders like sleep apnea and bouts of insomnia, and medication that can cause restless sleeping episodes.
Lucky for me, though, my migraine medication will almost always trigger a more restful sleep.
So I sit here, feeling my migraine become just a little bit worse by the minute, sitting in the dark, removing the squeaky toys away from my puppies, hoping to hang on long enough so that I can take my migraine medication right before bed.
Maybe I can get some good sleep and avoid another migraine tomorrow!
