Today was a nice day. I made it through the night without a 4 am migraine - a regular for the past little while. I took 2 Lyrica last night and that seemed to help me make it past the 4 am migraine. Unfortunately it was back at 7 am. I took a Zomig, T3, and Gravol, and managed to stay pain free all day.

The down side is that the Lyrica makes me very tired if I take something like a T3 or Gravol which makes me tired. It seems to intensify the effect. My doctor says that it intensifies the complete effect of the medication so I can try taking less.

I was out all day yesterday, a change for me. Then today we went out for lunch. By this afternoon I was exhausted. I realize I need to work back slowly.

I have a massage scheduled for tomorrow. I'm looking forwards to it. I have found a massage therapist who is good at relieving the tension in my neck and head, thereby reducing my migraines.

I'm slowly learning how to live with this horrible disease. I'm excited about the prospect of being headache free most of the time.
