6:10 am

Scrabbler

Cute.

6:10 am

aslindy

oh my giants... that moment when the migraine meds kick in and you can feel the pain start melting away

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Ugh, I get migraines too. I enjoy the post-migraine euphoria.

6:15 am

aslindy

it's more of a hangover than euphoria for me

6:19 am

Scrabbler

I feel very dopey and dizzy during the episode.

6:20 am

aslindy

I usually get nausea and sensitivity to light and sound, and sometimes smell.

6:21 am
