As I walked into my neurologist's office, I wondered why they'd added a LOUD television in their waiting room. I was as cranky as a disturbed hibernating bear. And five minutes of that TV made me even crankier. Who knew that was possible?
I think I've been having migraine prodrome symptoms for the past few days. These are the signs that a migraine attack is coming soon. Like a hurricane warning. Lights seem too bright. Noises are too loud. Smells are too strong. And I'm fatigued and cranky. My gym session suffered yesterday because my muscles were noticeably weaker. And my endurance was lessened.
I've been virtually attending the Migraine World Summit, and one of the speakers suggested taking an Aleve during prodrome. There's no research on it yet, but the half-life of Aleve is one of the longest, so he suggested it might be helpful in staving off the pain. I took an Aleve the next morning when I woke still feeling out of sorts. And then half an Excedrin. It's been a few days, and no excruciating head pain yet. Yay! But still prodroming...
Back to the doctor's office. I inquired why the TV, and was told they would be programming it with their own ads. I hate loud advertising. I especially hate loud advertising when I have a migraine and can't switch it off.
