... of the can't-see and can't-think sort.
But the curled up on the bathroom floor in the dark in front of the toilet with a towel or pillow wrapped around my head nauseous extremely painful and praying-to-die migraines seem to have faded away in my later middle age.
I've had prescriptions for both oral and injectable migraine meds that worked well enough, but I was still fairly worthless even after taking them. They effectively reduced the nausea and pain, pushed aside the praying-to-die aspect, but I still wasn't clear headed for any lesser period of time than my migraines usually last. Any day I suffered a migraine was still trashed, meds or not.
My own pattern seemed to follow that of cluster headaches and certain forms of epilepsy. I'll be "in remission" for many months, and then hell.
I'm currently in a migraine cycle but my situation is such that a few hours of blindness, discomfort, and inability to mentally focus isn't a big deal.
I'm a huge fan of modern meds.
I'd be long dead in a world without them.
