Migraine, Day 2.5

As if I didn't have enough going on this week with multiple markups, an angry bovine, an upset colon (Batman), and worrying about what to wear clubbing with my Gay Husband on Saturday so as not to embarrass him in front of his friends, a baby migraine came to visit on Tuesday.  He decided to invite some friends and have a party in my right eye yesterday.  Today he seems to have invited a marching band.

Because I am not one to suffer in silence, I took some Excedrin Migraine yesterday morning.  Then some more in the afternoon.  And some more before taking to my bed when I finally got home late last night.  This morning, as I tipped the bottle and shook meds into my hand, I noted the label reads "Do not take more than two in a 24 hour period."  Because it was first thing in the morning, my head/eye throbbed, and I didn't get any sleep the night before, I swallowed the pills before the meaning of the words sank in.  Great, an overdose is exactly what I needed today.  I'm a frickin' moron.

Hi, my name is Jill and I have a drug problem.

  1. Clearly I think your problem lies in a lack of hard liquor being consumed simultaneously with the Excedrin. And then you can pretend the bottles are the sexy sounding men they're named after... Hello Jack, you look dashing today. And Jose, a day without you is like a day without Tequila. Or sunshine. They're almost the same thing. And Captain Morgan, where have you been all my life? ALSO I have no idea if Vicodin helps migraines specifically, but if you're going to get way doped up on semi-legal stuff, definitely stick some Vicodin in there for good measure.

    1. It's shameful what a sissy I am at attempting to OD. Janis Joplin is spinning in her grave.

  2. You need some better drugs. Percocet, maybe? I often try the aleve/tylenol cocktail for Migraines, that seems to help. 2 Aleve, and an hour later 2 extra-strength Tylenol...they work on different systems in your body, so you can take that much. If there's a next time (and I hope there isn't), you can try that...?

    1. I'll try that next time, not that I want there to be a next time.
