Shit, maybe the topamax was actually doing something–I’m at the onset of migraine number two for this week, and am aware of two things:

1. I should have guessed, given I slept for 10 hours (my prodrome invariably involves sleepiness, as do the actual headache, and the postdrome–I’m basically not sleepy when my migraines are well controlled and all other times are no-go).
2. I do not have imitrex with me, because, shit, I already had one this week, and I was not expecting further issues for at least another day or two.

This one involved a very minor (very, very) aura, but the main feature is occipital pain and sinus pain, so far. I want a nap.

Edit: Excedrin. This is why I always have it with me. Fuck this ‘scrip shit. Within an hour, I was merely tender, and within two it was gone.
