[healthwork] further on that whole definitely (not a) migraine Thing

[kaberett]

I finally realised, yesterday, i.e. a full two weeks on, that I...

... have been taking a migraine preventative. daily. since about 2012.

(Amitriptyline, 25mg, for pain and sleep management.)

So, you know, I'd already (grudgingly) decided "definitely a migraine", but I now have further evidence (if more were needed; yes, I am facepalming at myself rather) for "actually I can get stressed enough and fuck up my sleep badly enough that I get breakthrough migraines, even if I'm not getting other psychosomatic symptoms of stress".

On the one hand: :|

On the other: as I discovered in October (re sleep), it looks! rather as though! the amitriptyline is in fact still working!

So that's nice.

Ugh on the migraine, but glad the amitriptyline is working - I've had very mixed results with it.

Aha!

It has been absolute magic for me -- I regret that you have had less good experiences <3

1st time I had it, it worked fine. 2nd time, shambling zombie mode....

That seems to be a mixed bag of knowledge, but more understanding is better.

Huzzah for insight and a mostly-effective migraine preventive.
