On day 6, I'm really desperate for relief
Post Content
36f, and I've migraines for about two decades. Stress and menstruating are the triggers. I'm now on day 6 and it's really bad. I need 3-4 600mg ibuprofen's every 6 hours. I think my gut is about to explode. I tried tying my head with a tight cloth and lying down on the side that hurts and I can feel throbbing. I just started a new job after months of unemployment and we're in intense training for a capstone in 2 weeks. I've missed out on so much I don't think I'll have time to review everything. Any solutions? I can't go to the hospital or see a doctor because my insurance hasn't kicked in yet and out of pocket is beyond my means.
