I can't believe this, seven migraines in less than three days. It started on Thursday afternoon with two migraines, then on Friday by noon I had another one. Friday night about 9:30 another came on and they kept coming throughout the night and early this morning. By 4 a.m. I went to the emergency room to see if I could get something stronger for the pain, I had been taking vicodin and tylenol. When I got there the nurse treated me as if I were having a bad headache. She asked me about my pain level and I told her it was at a 10. She couldn't believe it, she said "for a headache? You mean it's just as bad as labor pains?" I told her yes it is. I guess she has never suffered from a migraine. It made me mad that she kept referring to it as a "headache" and not a migraine. I know the difference between the two.
Anyway, all they did for me is give me an IV drip with saline solution to rehydrate me. I didn't feel like I was dehydrated because I drink plenty of fluid day and night. I think the next time I have a series of migraines, I will just stay home and take care of myself.
