Tylenol can't touch it, it laughs in the face of Imitrex, and chews up Medrol (steroids) like candy and mocks me, a foolish mortal, for daring to come against it.
I'm on day 10 of the migraine, day 5 of the Medrol regimen, if anything worse then when it started. Ice packs, naps, dark rooms, silence, stillness, soft music, no music, warm, cool, showers, washclothes of any temperature, fan blowing on me, fan off, (typing with my eyes closed) - this is a steel-reinforced, diehard, sonofajackal migraine.
Had a similar one last year, but last year the Medrol got rid of it. Both times the migraine was precipitated with a convulsive episode (non-seizure, MRI & EEG show nothing) and came with the last two fingers on my left hand going to sleep - and staying that way. Last year's convulsion thingy was late June, this year's early September. Am not able to come up with a commonality between them that is not a consistent in my life..
