playing games won't help a lot if you do have a migraine....
what kind of pain killers did you use?
maybe you can get prescription for something stronger like vicodine or norco...

I'm on vicodine right now. Last time I had this headache, I was on vicodine, extra strength (4x...800mg) ibuprofen, and amitriptyline (for chronic pain and/or depression) and nothing even dented the headache.

Basically I'm on what's left of the vicodine, but unfortunately, can't even afford to go to the doctor's for this again because it costs so incredibly much in the US ($140 just for a basic appointment), so by tomorrow morning, I'll be all out of anything prescription strength and be left with over the counter stuff.

you dont have any insurance? it is nice to know someone on the fieldn if you dont.... have you tried pot? lol seriously have you?

well if vico is not working maybe they could put you on percocet or morphine...

oh btw take it easy on tylenol... esp the one on your vicodine... could damage your liver pretty bad

We have a high deductible insurance plan, so it doesn't kick in until we spend a couple grand for the year. I have a high enough pain tolerance that I can just deal with the headache and hope it goes away within a few days. If it doesn't like last time, I'll just have to go to the doctors and tell them what's up. I know its a bad headache though when I get home from class (had to go, 25 minute presentation today), and my dad straight up says I just look out of it. I feel just dazed. And no, I've never tried pot, but with as many people suggesting it, I sure wish it were legal for medicinal purposes in MN.
