Awake Again.

[swestrup]

This time I've had a solid ten hours of sleep though. It feels good. Its not enough, of course. I don't bounce back from sleep deprivation like I once did. But if I can manage this for another night or two, I'll be back to normal.

Of course the inevitable flip-side of getting enough sleep after days without is that I woke up with a migraine trying to make an appearance. Luckily, (if you can call it that) I was pretty much expecting this and took some AC&C immediately along with some strong coffee. That should prevent it from becoming more than a slight throb. It doesn't hurt that the day is gray and overcast either so I don't have to hide from the light. On the other hand I should be fine by noon, so the clouds can all blow away by then, M'kay?

BTW, I sometimes wonder how I'd have coped if I lived in the states where AC&C (Asprin+Caffeine+Codeine) is not an over-the-counter drug. It would probably have taken me years longer to figure out that it was the perfect thing to handle my migraines.

I went to my neighbourhood drug store last night... with the intent of locating Iron supplements. Ideally, one should be able to walk in to a pharmacy (as I have done in the past in Ontario) and grab a bottle of 300 mg capsules off the shelf. Nay. I had to ask if they had any, as it appeared they did not. And then I had to give my name, address and telephone number... Now, had I picked up a multivitamin, which has the same concentration of iron, complete with all the other stuff... there would've been no need for me to request it from a pharmacist. However, crack, smack, and iron are apparently being sold on the street to kids or something. Colour me a bright and annoying shade of purple... the kind a gay man wears in spandex at a pride parade, and then to the supermarket afterwards sampling cucumbers. Or not.

Yeah,one of my mum's issues with travel to the states is the absence of adequate migraine meds.

And yet mallets are in and of abundance... I wonder about the good 'ol U S of A. Really, I do.
