Pain and weather.

I woke up this morning with one of the biggest migraines I have had in a long while. Getting up, at 6:30 in the morning, I took 50 milligrams of Sumatriptan, or one whole pill. As I climbed back into bed, I noticed that it had snowed in the night. Weather-related migraines are the bane of my existence — considering how much I love weather, and how much it hates me.

Waking up again, at 10 am, I was still in pain. I took additional half of a Sumatriptan, 25 milligrams, and went back to bed, noticing along the way that it was snowing again.
