I do know that I am not having a stroke, but thank you for reminding me. The pain comes and goes and I am able to function, but at times it's just so intense that all I want to do is crawl into a hole and sleep in the dark. I can't take the usual meds for migraines due to allergies, so I have to follow the plan that doctors previously mentioned. Last night and today have been the worst, but it's beginning to ease somewhat. I am basically only allowing myself to use my eyes for a short time, then it's back to the dark resting again. I love my little blindfold that blocks out all light.
