So this is fun...

I had a headache all yesterday evening. I took various things for it, eventually resorting to my migraine medicine, which helped somewhat. However, I went to sleep before taking the full dosage, because otherwise I'd have had to stay awake for three more hours.

I woke up just about three hours later, with the headache back full force. Worrying, however, that I'd need the migraine medicine later today, when a) I'm only supposed to take 5 pills in 24 hours, and b) I'd already taken three, I instead took two excedrin and two advil. So now? My headache's mostly gone, but I feel a bit nauseous. Don't know if this is residual from the headache, a result of too many mixed drugs, or something completely unrelated but instead having to do with my stomach problem.

I think I'll not go to either class today. I e-mailed my professors saying that I thought I was getting a migraine, so I'll be covered. Hopefully I can get some sleep and be nice and chipper by the time of the concert!!

On the plus side, when I woke up, the lyric wheel forum was open, so I got to post my story.

It's a shame about the codeine - I've found it quite useful in general. I find that the migraine treatment available here (maxalt) makes me feel far more nauseous that I did before, and has very little impact on the pain.
One of these days I'll get an oxygen bottle and will try that. Apparently it works, and I've noticed that CO poisoning brings on migraines.

Let me know how that works for you, then. :)
