woke up at 6 this morning with the throbbing pain of a migraine. realized that the anger, crying, emotionality of the past couple days must have been prodromey. can i be prodromey for 2 days or more? i guess so. i useed to chalk it up to PMS but since i have a migraine today, i think it bears watching.

 

but i didn't take anything at the first sign of a migraine like you're supposed to. course, all i have is zanaflex still. they haven't given me anything migraine-specific yet. but i can't afford to be off work for the day because of what's happening with my boss being all discriminatory with me. oh yeah, he can say sure, devgurl, i don't believe migraine makes you less promotion-worthy. but it's what he does that really counts. so i guess i have to work through it. i've closed the blinds here in my office at home. that helps a little because the light is really bothering me today. the pain is in a different place than usual, which tells me it's not the rebound headaches it's an actual migraine.

 

and we're strapped for cash and i'm down to my last topamax. i won't be able to afford any more until january 1 when my health care flex spending kicks in. what do i do now? i'm sure worrying about this, along with how to pay for christmas and other bills, has been a trigger.
