Another Day, Another Migraine
One of my worst migraine days went something like this. Everything started going downhill around 8pm. It just came out of nowhere, a pounding in my head. My mood transitioned from happy to miserable within minutes. The pain was blinding and suddenly all of the lights in my house were too bright, all of the sounds too loud. I hid away in my room, hoping dark solitude would help. Desperation kicked in and I looked frantically for something to give me relief. I placed a cold rag on my forehead, but even that did nothing to help the migraine pain.
That night, I vividly remember just wanting to be knocked out. I barely slept at all, which led to even worse pain the next morning. My head was throbbing, and I could even feel the pain in my mouth. That day, I had a full work agenda planned, a photoshoot and dinner with friends. How could I do any of those things when I could barely see? I ended up having to cancel my plans and stay in bed, miserable. Not only was I miserable from the pain, but I was so sad about everything the pain was keeping me from. My husband had to take over with the kids because I couldn’t get out of bed. Every migraine day feels like the worst migraine day, and that day was no different.
Finding your Migraine Relief
For someone like me who is always on the go, migraine attacks are unbearable because they can literally stop you in your tracks. Even if your brain says GO, your migraine can say NO. Nothing should have power over you like that. Migraine is also one of those diseases that people will tell you, “I have tried everything.” And that is true for most of us. So when I heard about Nurtec™ ODT (rimegepant), it genuinely felt like a light at the end of a lifelong tunnel.
