Anyone for a migraine?

I don't believe this. I was fine around 5am, but when I woke up a few hours later, stabbing pains through my eyes gave me to understand that all was not well. Had to spend the day in bed with head under the covers, because even filtered light was painful. Couldn't eat much and what I did manage was just to cushion the Ibuprofen.

I still feel vaguely wonky now but was able to get up and do essential things - like feed rats - once the sun went down. This was awful and I've got no idea what set it off; I know migraines often have a trigger but seems waking up to morning light was mine.

There's stuff in my mailbox that I haven't responded to and this was why!

Ouch! Get well soonest! Didn't realize you were a migraine sufferer --guess you never had one while visiting us.

It's not actually my habit, though I have had them in the past. I discovered that the drug Monofeme (the pill) actually triggered them, so when I stopped taking that, so did the headaches. Is ok, if I ever have one on your premises, a day in the dark will put things right.

I've not actually experienced the super-sensitivity to light before; made me feel rather vampirish.
