You guys. Oh my god. I woke up with migraine pain (thank you, rapidly changing weather [grumble]). Took migraine meds. Slept another 2 hours. Woke up. NO PAIN. At this point, I am ready to worship the ground my acupuncturist walks on.
(Well, there's actually a little pain in my ear, but everything and its mother is blooming outside, so my sinuses are also going haywire. I took a sudafed a little bit ago, and I *think* that should get rid of the ear pain. I don't think the ear pain has anything to do with migraine-y-ness.)
I could cry, I'm so relieved.

I would prefer for them to not even start, but just being able to stop them within hours is light years beyond what they had been (normally 2-4 DAYS, and not a great response to medication).
Oh, Teppy, that is good news, that you could escape your migraine!
AWESOME, Steph. Toss some marigolds at your acupuncturist's feet for me.
That's amazing.
I had an alternative treatment a week ago and every night since then, I have slept straight through. No trips to the bathroom. It's MAGIC. No lie. I can't even remember how long it has been since I have been able to do that. Plus, no matter how many hours I actually sleep (I've been pounding the caffeine too much), I wake up feeling great.
A minister I know says that miracles are only surprising to non-believers. I believe, and still I'm gobsmacked.
Yay for treatments that work!
So glad you are getting some relief, bonny and Steph.
it took me half an hour to eat my oatmeal this morning
Oh, {{{{beth}}}} I'm sorry your throat hurts so much.
Oh, beth, that sucks. At least when you have strep you can assume the antibiotics will work quickly! Here's hoping something does for you!
I do not want Monday. How did the weekend end so quick? I am at a coffeeshop trying to work, but mostly playing words with friends.
I called a meeting with my boss (COO of the company, no less) and then, um, forgot. He had to call me to ask where I was. EPIC FAIL.

The acupuncture has helped with my insomnia, too. It hasn't banished it totally, but I used to need to take a whole Ambien (and, uh, a whole Xanax) just to fall asleep, AND I would wake up at 5:30 or 6:00 and not be able to fall back asleep (I don't get up until 7:45 normally).
Now I'm down to 1/2 an Ambien, and when I wake up at 5:30 or 6:00, I fall right back asleep. I am astounded.
