So for the third day in a row I have a migraine. I believe it's the same one since it never even changes place. It's not responding to advil and I need to harass someone to get tylenol since all i have is tylenol PM. My nose is running and I'm out of tissues and my throat feels like I've coated it in swamp sludge. I fear that I may be getting [livejournal.com profile] laurion's flu but maybe it's just a bad cold. Either way I wish I didn't have it. Gotta get ready for breakfast and classes now.

The one thing I've found to work on migraines is Orudis KT (Ketoprofen 12.5 mg). It's available over the counter and cost about $9 for 60 tablets. Other good thing: you only have to take one every 4 to 6 hours - and you can take another after 1 hour if the first one doesn't seem to be working.

My mom uses Excedrin Migraine with some success, but I don't have any with me. It seems that I also left my acetominaphen in Minnesota. Feh!

Hope you get better soon.

Ok, you are _not_ allowed to get the flu. I won't be able to take care of you properly, so therefore I forbid you from getting sick!
