Thing One: I've been taking Acetaminophen with codeine, which is available over the counter in Canada, and has caffeine in it, which is about the only thing that works for me when I'm in pain. But I'm thinking having some Excedrin on hand might not be a bad call. I rarely get migraines, thank God--and I'm serious--I see how much it knocks you and the other people on my flist back who get them regularly, and I can't imagine how you survive it. Mine are almost always triggered by prolonged stress or angst, and I got lucky this time--usually I'm in for two or three days of agony that doesn't go away until I've been sick a half a dozen times. This one was maybe a day, and never got to critical levels. I'm taking that Excedrin advice though, for the next time.
Thing Two: It is scary, because you never think it's going to happen to you until it is you, and I do get afraid that it's not going to come back. Writing has become so much a part of what I do and who I am, I get a little freaked-twitchy. I'm trying to relax about that and just let it come back in it's own time. And yes, not being in pain=much easier to get anything accomplished.
