The cold progressed into a sinus infection and with me out of work I can't exactly go to the Doctor to get meds for it. This morning I woke up with my head killing me at 2am.

I have also started having what they call ocular migraines in the past year and a half where I... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/9196/12838/intro http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/9196/12837/er-painful-shot Tue, 28 Aug 2007 09:05:00 -0400 Gwen R I went to the ER this past sunday for that oh so painful shot in the hip, to rid me of the migraine that I have had for bout a week now, I never got it. I sat there for three hours while they took people ahead of me that came in after me one with a little cough and one with an upset stomach. For crying out loud, do these people not understand the circumstances of a migraine? Unfortunately I am one of the many that have had to be put on... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/9196/12837/er-painful-shot
