Migraine from Hell

I have just had the migraine from hell.

It started on Friday and I took my migraine meds, Rizatriptan, and I thought it was gone by late evening.

On Saturday I had a slight headache but it was nothing much so didn't take any painkillers. On Sunday I still had the headache so took some painkillers in the morning and thought nothing more of it until we got home from my in-laws. When my head felt like it was going to expolde and boom headache turned into migraine from hell.

I took some co-dydramol but it did nothing. Then at about 10pm I was very sick and my head felt like someone was smashing me with a sledge hammer. My pacemaker was going off quite alot while my head was thumping.

I ended up taking more co-dydramol at 12.30am and still couldn't sleep. These painkillers didn't work either. At about 1.30am I almost woke my husband up to take me to the hospital, it was so bad. But there was one last thing I could try a very hot bath and I just lay there for over an hour until the bath water went cold. Only then did the pain subside enough for me to finally get some sleep.

This morning my husband had to take our daughter to school as I was in no fit state to do anything for most of the day. The poor thing, my husband that is, has had to take the whole day off work unpaid. It is only now that the pain is finally going away.

This is the worst migraine I have had for about 4 years!
