Migraines (update)

Hi, my name is Angie, and I'm a migraine sufferer. If you've never had one, I hate you consider yourself lucky. They suck big hairy crusty gorilla balls, that haven't even been dipped in chocolate or anything. I usually only get them a couple times a year, and usually in the evening, so I can just escape to bed and leave dh to tend to the tendees.

I've learned over the years, that if I take pills at the first sign of a migraine, and then keep taking them until it is all the way gone, I can generally keep the pain to a dull ache. But this one has been a whopper. I've been alternating ibuprofen and advil for the last 24 hours. I have it back down to the dull ache, after laying on the couch for an hour and a half this morning with the curtains drawn. It's a good thing Sean still naps. I'll be taking advantage of his afternoon nap the same way, in the hopes that I can get this thing gone. If only I were a man. Then I could just go to my room and hide until it all went away. But alas, I was cursed with a uterus. So I have to not only incubate and birth the little assholes, I have to listen to them scream when I have a headache the size of North Dakota. Not to mention do all my other wifely duties like clean the house and grocery shop. With aforementioned little assholes. And speaking of assholes and the shit they spew forth, have I mentioned that Noah STILL isn't potty trained? More on that another day.

Additionally, I have until 2pm tomorrow to drive to the college campus and take my first big exam in Medical Terminology. I really would prefer not to do this with a pounding headache. REALLY. I would REALLY prefer it. Do you hear me, asshole headache gods???
