Awake due to attempted Migraine.

[swestrup]

I am now awake after what turned out to essentially be a 3-hour nap rather than an extended sleep as I had hoped. I think its the combination of the long nights and the stress of putting myself though unfamiliar bureaucratic mess. I've taken a different medication than usual as my regular Canadian medicine is not available in the States and I want to make sure that the alternatives do some good...

Right now I'm doing the other part of my normal anti-migraine procedure and drinking an espresso alonge. This will, of course, make the prospect of falling back asleep immediately somewhat unlikely, but I need to deal with the pounding head first, and worry about the sleep thing after.

Bleh, sorry. They haven't arranged temporary insurance or something for you, have they? There's not a damned thing in terms of OTC meds that does anything for my migraines.

Oh, I've managed to arrange for full medical coverage while I'm down there. I'm not entirely sure how that relates to things like doctors visits for migraine meds though, as I've not had any chance to read the fine print on the insurance I've acquired. Too much of this trip has been put together in a rush and a roar.

Oh, good. Well, take a look when you get a chance after you get here and all.
