I hope I ate or drank something bad yesterday, because I would really, really like this to be something I can avoid in the future. I woke up around 12:30 AMish with the painful sensation of something attempting to hatch from a lower sinus. When I get my generally-low flavor of migraines, they aren't normally anywhere near this bad. Stupidly, I did not get up and take pills because the caffeine in them would keep me awake. What I overlooked is that the pain mostly kept me from sleeping anyway. I finally gave in and got up around 5 (this is on a day off), took the maximum dose of drugs, and soaked in a boilingly-hot shower for a while. The pressure is still there but I am no longer feeling like throwing up or cutting off my head.

Great way to start a road trip, huh?

You have all my sympathy. Generally, I find that the decisions I make when I am in head pain hell are not good ones. B has forced me to come up with a set of default behaviors when I wake up in pain. If I can't decide between them, I have to wake him up to ask which thing I should do. I am so averse to doing this that it forces me into choosing one of the defaults unless something is truly unusual or I can no longer deal.
