I’m on the third day of a continuous migraine and I’m so tired of it. I had a small reprieve from ibuprofen but holy heck it came back with intensity.
I’m currently lying in bed with blackout curtains and the dog. I’m bored out of my mind and the pain from my migraine is radiating down my face. Debating messaging for steroids to break the migraine but doing that means insulin use for about a week and a half - 2 weeks.
Intermittent phone use makes it less boring but doesn’t help my pain lol. I guess I just want to moan a bit.
I realise this is maybe a few days late, but if Ibuprofen brings you relief, I’d suggest trying Naproxen (which should last longer) and diclofenac (if you can get it, it’s probably a prescription medication) - they’re both quite similar to ibuprofen but are longer-acting and stronger, respectively.
Ibuprofen is what I happened to have this time, but I shall for sure keep that in mind in regards to the naproxen. I’m generally quite a big fan of naproxen but ibuprofen just works better with my cramps for whatever reason and I try to just suffer through my migraines (too frequent). I’ve never had much pain relief with diclofenac, not sure why.
