I have them way too often and it really makes me miserable. I have had one since yesterday and why oh why didn't I take some pills immediately?? Now it's got so far that nothing is touching it.
I've tried pretty much every over-the-counter painkiller available before now, have a virtual chemist in my desk drawer and at home. I don't like taking codiene because it makes me drowsy but I do take it when I have to. Syndol is good but nowhere seems to stock it at the moment! I have some triptans from the docs which I will take tonight, they only work if I have a sleep and I'm at work today.
I know all the triggers but I'm pretty sure mine are hormone and stress related. Being as I'm on my period, you'd have thought I'd have remembered to take the bloody painkillers at the first sign, why am I such an fool to myself!!! Aaaarrgh, sorry, just wanted a rant, please feel free to add your rant about what is causing you pain at the moment and we can wallow in self-pity together...
