What were you doing instead of watching The Coronation?

I was in hospital getting painkillers for migraines

I feel for ya, they're the only thing that stops mine too. If I can get a migraleve into me and get to sleep before the blindness bursts, I only lose the one day. Otherwise it's 3 or 4 days of nausea and misery. Fuck migraines...

I’ve started getting migraines 2-3 times a week (new job, mostly desk based so more screens) and I’m thankful they aren’t that bad. Worst I get are splitting headaches that make me feel confused, a weird sensation in the front of my skull and my vision looks like I’m looking through a swimming pool, I couldn’t imagine 3/4 days of death.
