Tag Archives: migraine aura

I have been taking daily meds for migraine for almost 10 years, and my headaches are under control.  In fact, I wondered just the other day  if I still really needed them.

Today I got my answer.

After a particular bumpy plane ride to Kansas City, I was not only nauseous but in the throes of a full-blown migraine.  And my meds?  They were in my checked bag.

Ouch, ouch, ouch.

Migraine Barbie’s aura might look like candy, but she and I know that it hurts like a mother.  And when I didn’t get the meds within the first 30 minutes of the headache, I just had to ride it out.  Lie in the dark and sleep it off.

Which is what I did.  Hence today’s really late post.

So, what did we learn?  Well, I do still need my meds.  I can still get air sick from time to time, too.  And probably most importantly…

Keep your damn headache pills close at hand, sister.
