migraine -- or not, as the case may be

[julesjones]

Friday morning I had something that might have been the very early stages of a developing migraine, it was the right time of the month for it, so I took some Codis. Felt fine for the rest of the day, but took another couple of doses during the day just to be on the safe side. Yesterday morning we went out shopping, and the first place we went to had a dud fluorescent tube over the till that was flickering badly. Instant nausea. Took more Codis when I got home, felt fine. Kept taking Codis. I'm feeling mildly photophobic in very bright sunlight this morning, and I can feel some vascular pressure on one side (not helped by having clogged sinuses for unrelated reasons), but otherwise I feel fine. Looks like a frequent low dose of aspirin and codeine plus keeping hydrated and caffeinated really is all I normally need to keep it under control, as long as I take it before the bad symptoms start.
