Light, sound, anything mentally taxing causes pain. What do I do?

there are a couple of super useful migraine medications out there that put you past the pain phase and right into the exhaustion phase. Try looking them up, they can be shitty or they can be miraculous

Posted almost 20 hours ago as I post this comment. Hope things are getting better by now.

:comfy:

I tend to take several Ibuprofen or naproxin and drink lots of water while I hide in a dark place waiting for the drugs to kick in and I fall asleep. When I’ve had CDB lozenges handy I’d take one (or a few drops of the oral oil) as it hits faster, covering that hour it takes for the Ibuprofen/naproxin to fully kick in.

I am on the other side of a good night’s sleep and feeling much better. Thank you to all the comrades for advice and well wishes!
