I'm on the third day of a continuous migraine and I'm so tired of it. I had a small reprieve from ibuprofen but holy heck it came back with intensity.

I'm currently lying in bed with blackout curtains and the dog. I'm bored out of my mind and the pain from my migraine is radiating down my face. Debating messaging for steroids to break the migraine but doing that means insulin use for about a week and a half - 2 weeks.

Intermittent phone use makes it less boring but doesn't help my pain lol. I guess I just want to moan a bit.

One extra thing I've just remembered: Sensory control kit. Ear defenders/plugs, a good quality blindfold, and a travel neck pillow. Using those, and sitting in a comfy chair helps me a lot during an attack.

Keeping head above chest also seems to be one for me, lying down seems to make things worse.
