I feel your pain. I suffer badly with migraines which was one of the reason I got hooked on codeine. And I’ve been so scared about managing without it as paracetamol does nothing and I’m not suppose to take ibuprofen because of the antidepressants I’m on.

I’ve stocked up on forehead strips, purchased a cool cap and Marky said there was a medication over the counter that worked for his mum so I’m going to buy some of that.

I always feel absolutely awful the day after a migraine so it’s no wonder you fell poorly. Just look after yourself today, rest as much as you can and drink lots, hopefully you’ll feel better soon.
