Friday, December 30, 2005 — I felt out of sorts all day yesterday — headache (migraine-ish, but never close to Imitrex level), digestive weirdness, lethargic (but not sleepy), difficulty focusing (both mentally and visually), grumpy — so I called Carole just before bedtime (she was out with her friend Terry) for advice last night (I wasn't thinking straight enough to decide on my own), and I went down to 2mg of melatonin.

Monday, December 19, 2005 — A minor headache due to lack of sleep, but otherwise okay as of 9:35.

My other recent medication may also be playing a part.

Sunday, October 23, 2005 — Good as of 7:30am. I cut the 3mg melatonin in half last night, to hopefully avoid a tired (but somewhat good) feeling throughout the day. So far, the lower dose seems to be working — I slept well, woke up refreshed, and don't feel as tired as I have the last couple of mornings.
Saturday, October 22, 2005 — Good as of 8:25am. Continuing with melatonin, and adding CoQ10, riboflavin, butterbur, feverfew, and glucosamine supplements. Since just the melatonin has improved how I feel, my intent is to hold off on the Coreg prescribed by Dr. Shubin while the supplements continue to be effective.
Friday, October 21, 2005 — Good again, as of 6:45am. Maybe the melatonin is working?
Thursday, October 20, 2005 — Nothing so far as of 7:04am. I took 3mg melatonin last night, and woke up with a tired feeling. The pharmacy wouldn't release the Coreg until they checked with both Dr. Liao and Dr. Shubin about combining it with Toprol.

At 12:15pm, I decided that the dull ache was not just from the lack of sleep, and took an Imitrex. For the next three hours, I laid in bed in total agony, with a 9-of-10 headache, intense nausea, and body aches. Carole helped me out a lot, bringing me a bowl so I wouldn't make a mess on the bed throwing up. Whenever I would doze off, or even turn on my side, I would feel ill, so I had to just lay there, on my back, with my eyes open. Carole brought me a second Imitrex at 3:45pm, and I was able to doze off for a couple of hours, which made all the difference. I still have snot seeping from my nose through my upper left wisdom tooth extraction, which didn't help my nausea at all.

Tuesday, March 29, 2005 — I had trouble sleeping last night. I woke up at 6:00am with a headache, then waited until 6:30 to take an Imitrex.
Monday, March 28, 2005 — Good so far, as of 8:10am.
Sunday, March 27, 2005 — We got to Big Bear for Easter dinner around 1:30pm, and I took an Imitrex at 2:20pm.
Saturday, March 26, 2005 — The pain grew as the morning wore on. I took an Imitrex at 11:15am.
Friday, March 25, 2005 — 9:45am with no headache, but by 1:50pm the pain had built and I reluctantly took an Imitrex - the side-effects lately have been harder to deal with.
Thursday, March 24, 2005 — Good so far, as of 9:35am.
Wednesday, March 23, 2005 — Woke up with 'that' feeling; took an Imitrex at 10:00am.
Tuesday, March 22, 2005 — I actually feel pretty good today. I took a sinus Tylenol when I woke up at 5:45am to clear up some minor head problems, but things improved through the morning.
Monday, March 21, 2005 — No headache, but I spaced out after lunch and had to doze for ten minutes.
Sunday, March 20, 2005 — A brutal day otherwise, but no headache.
Saturday, March 19, 2005 — A late headache while packing the truck in Tucson, with an Imitrex at 2:15pm.
Friday, March 18, 2005 — I woke up at 3:20am, but decided against taking an Imitrex, since that would effectively prevent further sleep. I watched a little TV, then dozed until the alarm at 6:30am. Still no Imitrex...
Thursday, March 17, 2005 — Some haziness and discomfort when I woke up, but no headache.
Wednesday, March 16, 2005 — Some building discomfort as of 10:20am.
Tuesday, March 15, 2005 — (8:45am) Good so far. (4:40pm) I've noticed the last few times that the day after an Imitrex day (or days) I feel very tired in the late afternoon. I'm not sure if this is from a lack of good sleep the night before, or a more general aftereffect of the Imitrex/pain/stress part of the migraine.
Monday, March 14, 2005 — I took an Imitrex at 9:45am, after apheresis. I also feel a little spacey, probably due to the Neurontin. At 2:00pm, the pain has moderated but not by much, and I'm seriously considering another Imitrex. The pain continued throughout the afternoon, and I felt increasingly tired. I made an early dinner for the kids, and dozed off for a few hours from 7:00pm - 9:00pm, which will probably make a a normal night's sleep difficult.
Sunday, March 13, 2005 — Things were iffy when I woke up at 6:45am. By 11:00, the pain was progressing, and I took an Imitrex at 12noon.
Saturday, March 12, 2005 — Good.
Friday, March 11, 2005 — Good so far.
Thursday, March 10, 2005 — So far, so good.
Wednesday, March 9, 2005 — Feeling good as of 9:45am.
Tuesday, March 8, 2005 — No Imitrex yet, but with the way I feel, it wouldn't surprise me if I needed one soon.
Monday, March 7, 2005 — After the problems late last night, I rested until 8:30am and made it to work around 9:45am. So far so good, except for memories of last night's misery.
Sunday, March 6, 2005 — Things were good until about 1:00pm, when the pain built gradually. After entertaining all afternoon, I was in some distress at 7:30pm, and decided to lay down for a few minutes. Unfortunately, I dozed off, and woke up at 11:45pm with the most pain I can remember since my appendix burst. My eye burned and throbbed; the whole right side of my face ached, including my jaw; unrelated back pain added to the misery. I took an Imitrex right away, and lay in bed trying to manage the pain for a couple of hours. The pain faded slowly, and I finally fell back to sleep around 3:15am. I did not enjoy the alarm at 6:00am.
Saturday, March 5, 2005 — A little foreshadowing, but no meds yet.
Saturday, March 5, 2005 — No problems today.
Friday, March 4, 2005 — Good right now.
Thursday, March 3, 2005 — Good so far.
Wednesday, March 2, 2005 — So far so good.
Tuesday, March 1, 2005 — I woke up at 6:00 with what felt like a mild migraine, but after walking around a bit I decided to hold off on the Imitrex, and after resting for an hour I felt better. I felt good until about 1:15pm, when I started feeling tired, almost sleepy, and noticed some minor headache pain.
Monday, February 28, 2005 — The pain built slowly, but at 11:45am I reluctantly decided it was time for an Imitrex. I zoned out at my desk for about 15 minutes around 1:10pm, and felt a little spacey and tired (almost sleepy) for most of the rest of the afternoon; I found it difficult to concentrate.
Sunday, February 27, 2005 — At 10:08am, I'm feeling a slight hint of an impending migraine, but no Imitrex yet.
Saturday, February 26, 2005 — A good day of exercise, with no migraine pain.
Friday, February 25, 2005 — So far so good. Since Dr. Wogenson increased my dose of Neurontin, I've noticed a tired feeling in the afternoon. I almost dosed off just now while reading.
Thursday, February 24, 2005 — So far, I feel pretty good - better than I've felt in a couple of weeks. I managed to make it through yesterday without crossing the Imitrex line, and today looks good too.
Wednesday, February 23, 2005 — I'm pretty certain I'll need something later, but I'm not there yet.
Tuesday, February 22, 2005 — I woke up with a headache, and took an Imitrex at 6:05am. Update: starting around 11:30, I got increasingly spacey, almost dizzy; I also felt a little nausea and hunger. Once I ate, things got better, but a slight spaciness remained.
Monday, February 21, 2005 — I took an Imitrex at 11:00am, as I was getting ready to leave Tucson.
Sunday, February 20, 2005 — I woke up in Tucson with a headache, and took and Imitrex at 7:10am MST.
Saturday, February 19, 2005 — Nothing today.
Friday, February 18, 2005 — Doing well so far this morning.
Thursday, February 17, 2005 — I expect to need something later today, but have not yet taken an Imitrex.
Wednesday, February 16, 2005 — I woke up at 5:50am with a headache, and took an Imitrex right away.
Tuesday, February 15, 2005 — Okay so far.
Monday, February 14, 2005 — Today's headache built slowly from 5:45am; I took an Imitrex at 10:15am.
Sunday, February 13, 2005 — No.
Saturday, February 12, 2005 — Good so far.
Friday, February 11, 2005 — No.
Thursday, February 10, 2005 — There's some hint of a headache on the way, but not enough for an Imitrex yet.
Wednesday, February 9, 2005 — I woke up sore from my double-header yesterday and with a throbbing migraine. Imitrex and more bed rest helped the migraine, and left me a little spacey but somewhat functional.
Tuesday, February 8, 2005 — Nothing today.
Monday, February 7, 2005 — No.
Sunday, February 6, 2005 — I feel a headache building, but it's not far enough along yet to take an Imitrex.
Saturday, February 5, 2005 — No.
Friday, February 4, 2005 — Nope.
Thursday, February 3, 2005 — Nothing so far.

Saturday, January 29, 2005 — Nothing so far, as of 1:25pm.

Thursday, January 27, 2005 — Nothing so far - 10:10am.
Wednesday, January 26, 2005 — Nothing as of 11:00am.
Tuesday, January 25, 2005 — Tired, some mild digestive concerns, but no migraine as of 9:30am.
Monday, January 24, 2005 — A little dullness, less than pain, this morning, but no migraine pain so far.
Sunday, January 23, 2005 — Another headache at my 6:15am wake-up. Imitrex and rest.
Saturday, January 22, 2005 — I woke up at 6:15am with pretty intense migraine pain, and took an Imitrex right away.
Friday, January 21, 2005 — As the morning wore on, my head felt progressively worse. I took an Imitrex at 1:05pm.
Thursday, January 20, 2005 — As of 9:00am, there's a slight hint of a halo. As the morning wore on, the halo got more noticeable, and I decided on an Imitrex at 1:15pm. The tingly sensation is very pronounced this time.
Wednesday, January 19, 2005 — Nothing so far. I'm still feeling especially tired, even after a good night's sleep. Last night, I didn't have headache pain, but did have a noticeable feeling of pressure that didn't quite reach the pain threshold, but was quite uncomfortable. I took a nighttime allergy sinus Tylenol to relieve the discomfort and help me sleep.
Tuesday, January 18, 2005 — Nothing today.
Monday, January 17, 2005 — I feel somewhat tired this morning. I got a decent night's sleep, but I almost dozed off while donating platelets this morning. No headache pain, as of 10:30am.
Sunday, January 16, 2005 — Nothing so far.
Saturday, January 15, 2005 — Nothing so far.
Friday, January 14, 2005 — Another headache first thing in the morning. I took an Imitrex at 6:05am, and now at 11:45am I still feel the Imitrex tingle.
Thursday, January 13, 2005 — Woke up with pain at 5:05am, ate a Kudo with my Imitrex, and rested for an hour. A great start to what I know will be a very long day.
Wednesday, January 12, 2005 — Nothing this morning.
Tuesday, January 11, 2005 — I actually felt pretty good in the morning, but a halo started mid-afternoon and while I was making dinner it had reached the point where an Imitrex seemed in order.
Monday, January 10, 2005 — I'm feeling a little weird - minor head pain, some trouble focusing on close text - but no migraine at this time.
Sunday, January 9, 2005 — More cold-related headache, but no migraine.
Saturday, January 8, 2005 — A small cold, but nothing else as of 12:45pm.
Friday, January 7, 2005 — I woke up at 4:45am without noticing any pain, and woke up for good around 6:00am with definite pain behind my right eye. I just couldn't convince myself to get up an eat something, so it was 8:45am before I took the Imitrex.
Thursday, January 6, 2005 — I had definite pain behind my right eye when I stood up to get some lunch at 12:45pm, and took an Imitrex right away. I hadn't notice the pain until I moved, but it was definitely there.
Wednesday, January 5, 2005 — I thought I'd need an Imitrex early this morning, but a little extra sleep seemed to avert it.
Tuesday, January 4, 2005 — Nothing so far.
Monday, January 3, 2005 — Some pain, but not yet enough to take an Imitrex as of 10:30am.
Sunday, January 2, 2005 — I had a building halo most of the morning, and took an Imitrex at 12:30pm, which was probably an hour too late. The tingly effects were more pronounced than usual, which is maybe caused by the length of time since the last Imitrex, or because I waited a little too long to take the pill.
Saturday, January 1, 2005 — I'm fighting a cold with a sinus headache, but no migraine pain so far today.
Friday, December 31, 2004 — More wake-up halo, but Neurontin seems to help.
Thursday, December 30, 2004 — A fading halo when I woke up, but no Imitrex so far.
Wednesday, December 29, 2004 — Good so far.
Tuesday, December 28, 2004 — Okay so far.

Thursday, December 16, 2004 — So far, so good - as of 8:45am.
Wednesday, December 15, 2004 — Another Imitrex. I felt the familiar pounding in my head while I was getting my old motorcycle to the repair shop, and took an Imitrex when I got back to work. Eating lunch right away made the aftershocks less intense than yesterday, when I delayed eating after taking the pill. I began 3-a-day Neurontin yesterday.
Tuesday, December 14, 2004 — After a morning of increasing pain, I took an Imitrex at 11:30am.
Monday, December 13, 2004 — I woke up at 3:30am with a non-migraine headache. Around 4:00 I took some Allergy Sinus Tylenol, and slept until the alarm at 6:10am. Since then, I've had faint feelings of a standard migraine halo, but it hasn't gotten bad enough to warrant and Imitrex, as of 9:00am.
Sunday, December 12, 2004 — Nothing today.
Saturday, December 11, 2004 — Nothing so far.
Friday, December 10, 2004 — Nothing today - just a little listlessness.
Thursday, December 9, 2004 — Still a little bit of a cold, but no headache today.
Wednesday, December 8, 2004 — Nothing today. I missed last night's Neurontin dose.
Tuesday, December 7, 2004 — Nothing today.
Monday, December 6, 2004 — Feeling good at 9:15am.
Sunday, December 5, 2004 — Work up early feeling pretty good, and got a lot of work done around the house. Felt tired around 10:30am, with some cold-related head problems, but so far no need for an Imitrex.
Saturday, December 4, 2004 — Feeling pretty good today.
Friday, December 3, 2004 — I had some halo during this morning's blood donation, but it seems to be getting better - I've held off on taking an Imitrex, for now.
Thursday, December 2, 2004 — Nothing so far, at 9:07am.
Wednesday, December 1, 2004 — A now rare morning headache required an Imitrex at 6:15am.

Monday, November 29, 2004 — Feeling good so far, as of 9:25am. Unfortunately, a headache came on around 2:30, and I took an Imitrex at 3:15pm. This is three days in a row - kinda like the end of last month...
Sunday, November 28, 2004 — An out-of-the-ordinary late afternoon Imitrex, around 5:00pm, followed by a short nap.
Saturday, November 27, 2004 — After feeling a bit of a halo at 1:45pm, I took an Imitrex at 2:10pm.
Friday, November 26, 2004 — Nothing today.

Monday, November 22, 2004 — Nothing today.
Sunday, November 21, 2004 — Nothing today.

Thursday, November 18, 2004 — Nothing today.
Wednesday, November 17, 2004 — Nothing today.
Tuesday, November 16, 2004 — Nothing today.

Friday, November 12, 2004 — I took an Imitrex around 2:00pm.
Thursday, November 11, 2004 — Nothing so far.

Wednesday, November 3, 2004 — Nothing today, except that dull, resigned feeling about the election.
Tuesday, November 2, 2004 — After three Imitrex days, nothing today.
Monday, November 1, 2004 — I waited until Apheresis to take an Imitrex, about 9:00am. I'm out of practice - first thing would have been best.
Sunday, October 31, 2004 — Took an Imitrex around 12:00 noon.
Saturday, October 30, 2004 — Needed an Imitrex around 1:30pm.
Friday, October 29, 2004 — I went hiking, and came home with a mild migraine-like headache. It got somewhat worse as the afternoon went on, and I took an afternoon Neurontin, but never took an Imitrex - probably a mistake.
Thursday, October 28, 2004 — Nothing.
Wednesday, October 27, 2004 — Nothing.
Tuesday, October 26, 2004 — Nothing.
Monday, October 25, 2004 — Nothing.
Sunday, October 24, 2004 — Nothing.
Saturday, October 23, 2004 — Woke up without headache pain.

Thursday, October 21, 2004 — I have a little cold this morning, but no headache.
Wednesday, October 20, 2004 — Nothing today.
Monday, October 19, 2004 — Nothing today.
Sunday, October 17, 2004 — I woke up with a mild halo, and took a Neurontin early. By 11:00am, the pain had gotten worse, so I took an Imitrex with lunch. The pain persisted the rest of the day, and I made it an early night because of it.
Saturday, October 16, 2004 — None today.
Friday, October 15, 2004 — Nothing today.
Thursday, October 14, 2004 — Nothing today.
Wednesday, October 13, 2004 — Nothing today.

Monday, October 11, 2004 — I only took 2 Neurontin yesterday, but had no headache pain. No pain today, but I'm on for 3 Neurontins.
Sunday, October 10, 2004 — I woke up with a bit of a halo, took a Neurontin and rested for an hour or so, with good results. I'm going to do 3 Neurontin's today, and plan to go with three for the rest of the week to see what happens: one around 6:00-6:30am, one around 12:30-1:00pm, and the last at bed time.
Saturday, October 9, 2004 — Took an Imitrex around 1:00pm.
Friday, October 8, 2004 — Nothing. Took 3 Neurontin yesterday.
Thursday, October 7, 2004 — No headache. I didn't sleep all that well last night. I was very tired, and laid down around 9:00pm, but just couldn't get to sleep. I finally began sleeping just after midnight.
Wednesday, October 6, 2004 — Feels like it's going to be a good day today.
Tuesday, October 5, 2004 — None.

Thursday, September 30, 2004 — Nothing. Settled in with two-a-day Neurontin.
Wednesday, September 29, 2004 — Two Neurontin yesterday. I woke up with the beginnings of a halo, but took my morning Neurontin and laid down for a bit, and it went away.

Monday, September 27, 2004 — Nothing.
Sunday, September 26, 2004 — Nothing.

Friday, September 24, 2004 — Very tired this morning - hard to get out of bed. No migraine pain, but a dull ache in the front of my head.
Thursday, September 23, 2004 — Nothing as of 11:30am. I missed my afternoon Neurontin yesterday, with no ill effects.
Wednesday, September 22, 2004 — Nothing so far, but I've got that tired, lazy feeling - probably from the Neurontin 3-a-day restart.
Tuesday, September 21, 2004 — I think today will be a better day. No headache as of 10:30am.
Monday, September 20, 2004 — Back to 3-a-day on the Neurontin, after a morning-only on Saturday and a morning-evening on Sunday. I took an Imitrex at 2:00pm along with my second Neurontin, and ate lunch at the same time. I had a shaky, hungry feeling - the kind you get when you need something salty.
Sunday, September 19, 2004 — Took an Imitrex with my Neurontin when I woke up at 6:30am. It worked much better than yesterday, when I felt Imitrex-spacey all afternoon.
Saturday, September 18, 2004 — I skipped 5 straight doses of Neurontin after my severe spaciness on Thursday, but took one this morning intending to start back on 3-a-days. At 12 noon, I took an Imitrex.
Friday, September 17, 2004 — After yesterday's afternoon spaciness, I skipped my Neurontin last night and this morning, just to see what's up. No headache as of 9:30am.
Thursday, September 16, 2004 — I took my Neurontin in the morning as usual, and had no headache pain all day. However, in the early afternoon I started feeling very spacy - unfocused, severe problems concentrating, etc. I skipped my afternoon and nighttime Neurontin doses.
Wednesday, September 15, 2004 — None.
Tuesday, September 14, 2004 — No.
Monday, September 13, 2004 — Nothing as of 9:00, after apheresis.
Sunday, September 12, 2004 — Nothing.
Saturday, September 11, 2004 — Nothing.
Friday, September 10, 2004 — Good as of 9/10.
Thursday, September 9, 2004 — Nothing as of 10:00am. I started my 3-a-day Neurontin this morning.
Wednesday, September 8, 2004 — Nothing as of 10:00am.
Tuesday, September 7, 2004 — No pain as of 11:08am.
Monday, September 6, 2004 — I took my first Imitrex of the Neurontin era today at 1:15pm.
Sunday, September 5, 2004 — Nothing today.
Saturday, September 4, 2004 — Nothing as of 11:15am, following an early morning ride to Palmdale.
Friday, September 3, 2004 — Second day on Neurontin, no headache as of 9:30am.
Thursday, September 2, 2004 — Last night was my first Neurontin, and it seems there will be a period of adjustment. I slept pretty well, but felt quite tired and sleepy when I woke up. Once I got going, things were okay. It's 10:00am now, and I've got an ache in my right eye (my traditional pre-migraine pain), but it feels somehow different - probably because of the Neurontin. I'm holding off an the Imitrex for now, but will keep a vigil so I don't wind up with a full-fledged headache first.
Wednesday, September 1, 2004 — Okay as of 10:50am, after seeing Dr. Liao.
Tuesday, August 31, 2004 — Woke up at 5:30am with a pretty bad headache and took an Imitrex. By 7:30, I was feeling okay.
Monday, August 30, 2004 — I took an Imitrex at the first sign of problems, at 11:55am.
Sunday, August 29, 2004 — Took an Imitrex, again about an hour too late, at 1:30pm. I was busy working in the garage, and didn't notice the impending headache right away. I bent over to pick something up, and knew then it was too late to head it off early.
Saturday, August 28, 2004 — Took an Imitrex, maybe a little late, at 2:45pm. I've noticed that, like with wake-up headaches in the morning, if I miss the signal or otherwise wait to take an Imitrex until the headache is already going, it takes much longer to get relief, and the tingly, weird feeling from the Imitrex is much more pronounced.
Friday, August 27, 2004 — Okay so far, at 8:30am.
Thursday, August 26, 2004 — So far, so good as of 9:30am.
Wednesday, August 25, 2004 — Nothing as of 7:15am.
Tuesday, August 24, 2004 — Nothing as of 3:00pm.
Monday, August 23, 2004 — Woke up at 5:45am with too little sleep after yesterday's late Imitrex, but with no headache pain so far as of 9:10am. Sadly, I took an Imitrex at 1:25pm.
Sunday, August 23, 2004 — Pulled the cord a little late, and took a pill at 3:45pm. I had a 5:45am wake-up call the next morning for apheresis, but didn't fall into a fitful sleep until after 2:00am.
Saturday, August 23, 2004 — Woke up at 5:30 with a headache, and took an Imitrex. After it took full effect (around 10:15), I became tired the rest of the day, and dozed off and on.
Friday, August 20, 2004 — Nothing as of 10:00am.
Thursday, August 19, 2004 — Minor sinus problems this morning, but no migraine pain as of 10:00am.
Wednesday, August 18, 2004 — Woke up at 5:45 with a headache.
Tuesday, August 17, 2004 — Needed an Imitrex at 12:45pm.
Monday, August 16, 2004 — Took an Imitrex around 2:45, at a McDonald's in Gilroy on the way home from Palo Alto.
Sunday, August 15, 2004 — Woke up with a headache at 5:50, and took an Imitrex straight away.
Saturday, August 14, 2004 — Nothing as of 9:25am.
Saturday, August 14, 2004 — Took an Imitrex at 1:15 just before we left for Palo Alto.
Friday, August 13, 2004 — I debated for most of the morning, finally taking an Imitrex at 12:45pm after lunch.
Thursday, August 12, 2004 — I'm likely to need one soon, but have not taken an Imitrex as of 10:00am.
Wednesday, August 11, 2004 — Woke up in pain at 3:45am - not good. After an hour and a half I was able to sleep off and on until 6:30, and then from 6:45 to 7:30am. This makes for a very long day. The pain returned around noon, and got progressively worse until 3:35pm, when I gave in and took the second Imitrex.
Tuesday, August 10, 2004 — I woke up with a headache, and took a pill right away at 5:45am.
Monday, August 9, 2004 — I needed an Imitrex at 1:15pm this afternoon.
Sunday, August 8, 2004 — I felt tired and a little run-down, and my back hurt, but I did not need an Imitrex today.
Saturday, August 7, 2004 — After a morning of errands, I took an Imitrex at 1:45pm.
Friday, August 6, 2004 — I slept well, and did not wake up with a headache, thankfully. I'm still pain-free, as of 9:15am.
Thursday, August 5, 2004 — I woke up at 4:00am with a 6.7 out of 10 (10 being worst) headache. I took a pill right away, but it took about an hour and 45 minutes for the pain to go away. I dozed off and on from 5:45 to 6:25, but it wasn't refreshing. Whenever I wake up with a full-blown headache, I'm generally messed up for 4 to 5 hours: the first hour is spent dealing with the pain; the second hour is dealing with the combination of the fading pain and the weird feeling of the Imitrex as it starts to really kick in; the next few hours I have that funny tingling sensation from the Imitrex, which is better than the headache pain to be sure, but still somewhat unpleasant. If a headache develops only after I'm awake and I catch it early in the cycle, the affects of the medication are much less disturbing.
Wednesday, August 4, 2004 — After yesterday's 3:45am wake-up, I fell asleep early and woke up early, around 4:00am. No pain as of 9:00am, though.
Tuesday, August 3, 2004 — I needed an Imitrex at 3:45am. Good times.
Monday, August 2, 2004 — Needed an Imitrex just before lunchtime, at 11:45am.
Sunday, August 1, 2004 — No pill needed today.
Saturday, July 31, 2004 — Okay as of 11:00am.
Friday, July 30, 2004 — Needed an Imitrex first thing at 6:30am.
Thursday, July 29, 2004 — So far, so good, as of 11:15am.

Tuesday, July 27, 2004 — I took an Imitrex around 1:30pm.
Monday, July 26, 2004 — Pain-free as of 8:30am.
Sunday, July 25, 2004 — Very tired, but no pain so far, as of 10:00am. I rode my bike for 3.5 miles today, in a low, high-spin gear. It felt good.
Saturday, July 24, 2004 — Nothing today.
Friday, July 23, 2004 — Okay as of 9:10am.
Thursday, July 22, 2004 — Happy Birthday to me. Nothing as of 8:22am.
Wednesday, July 21, 2004 — My luck ran out at 2:55pm.
Tuesday, July 20, 2004 — After yesterday's near meltdown, nothing so far as of 8:55am, but I don't think it will last.
Monday, July 19, 2004 — No Imitrex yet (at 8:52am), but I woke up at 3:45 with indigestion to die for. Some Tums, two chewable Pepto, and 3 hours of semi-agony later, I'm almost alive.
Sunday, July 18, 2004 — For the first time, I needed two 100mg Imitrex today. The first one was at 6:00am, and the second was at 3:40pm. Not a very good day.
Saturday, July 17, 2004 — 11:30am to make it nine days straight.
Friday, July 16, 2004 — Imitrex at lunch. After six days off, this makes eight days in a row. Bummer.
Thursday, July 15, 2004 — Lunchtime pain forced an Imitrex at 11:45am.
Wednesday, July 14, 2004 — Again, up at 4:55am, Imitrex and Tylenol, a little rest, then a walk.
Tuesday, July 13, 2004 — I woke up at 5:30am with a headache. I took two Tylenol and an Imitrex, and ate a breakfast bar to keep things down.
Monday, July 12, 2004 — I woke up at 5:40am, and needed an Imitrex right then. Sheesh.
Sunday, July 11, 2004 — I took an Imitrex at 12:45pm.
Saturday, July 10, 2004 — First thing in the morning.
Friday, July 9, 2004 — A bad afternoon forced an Imitrex.
Thursday, July 8, 2004 — Nothing so far, on day 6.
Wednesday, July 7, 2004 — Nothing so far. This would/will be five days in a row. Weird.
Tuesday, July 6, 2004 — So far, so good...

Monday, June 28, 2004 — Yes.
Sunday, June 27, 2004 — Yes.
Saturday, June 26, 2004 — None.
Saturday, June 26, 2004 — So far so good. After a close decision on Thursday, this would be three days in a row after an 8-for-9 series.
Friday, June 25, 2004 — Woke up feeling good. Who knew?
Thursday, June 24, 2004 — I'm close, but no pill as of 8:30am.
Wednesday, June 23, 2004 — Pill in at 3:49pm.
Tuesday, June 22, 2004 — An early start today. I took an Imitrex at 5:10am, with a muffin on the side.
Monday, June 21, 2004 — 2:20pm.
Sunday, June 20, 2004 — Took an Imitrex at 3:15pm.
Saturday, June 19, 2004 — Feeling good at 8:55am.
Friday, June 18, 2004 — I took an Imitrex at 11:30am, and seem to have caught it just in time.
Thursday, June 17, 2004 — I was messed up when I crawled out of bed at 7:00am, and took a pill with breakfast.
Wednesday, June 16, 2004 — 4:05pm.
Tuesday, June 15, 2004 — I don't expect it to last, but no pill as of 9:20am.
Monday, June 14, 2004 — Imitrex at 12:30pm.
Sunday, June 13, 2004 — No problems, as of 11:15am.

Friday, June 11, 2004 — 8:30am, and nothing so far.
Thursday, June 10, 2004 — I took an Imitrex at 6:20am, then went back to bed for an hour.
Wednesday, June 9, 2004 — Drug-free as of 11:15, but I'm not convinced I'll make it through the day.
Tuesday, June 8, 2004 — I woke up at 4:50 for some reason. I took an Imitrex at 9:30am.
Monday, June 7, 2004 — Apheresis went well, but I'm very tired. I took an Imitrex at 12:30pm.
Sunday, June 6, 2004 — I took an Imitrex at 3:15pm, and might have waited a little too long
Saturday, June 5, 2004 — The streak ended at 10:30am today, when I downed an Imitrex. It was fun while it lasted.
Friday, June 4, 2004 — Maybe I'll make it three days in a row without Imitrex. That would be cool.
Thursday, June 3, 2004 — Nothing so far, at 8:45am.
Wednesday, June 2, 2004 — I'm packing, but haven't taken any medication as of 9:40am.
Tuesday, June 1, 2004 — I took an Imitrex right around 10:00am on the way to Gabriela's graduation in Fresno. I came close to taking a second Imitrex around noon, but the pain wasn't getting any worse (just not much better), so I held off. Sheehan teased me about the head shaking I was doing to check on the pain in my eye.
Monday, May 31, 2004 — I felt good this morning, and took a motorcycle ride up ACH, AFH, Bouquet Cyn and LTC. On the last part of LTC, the bumps forced me to notice the pain in my right eye. I took an Imitrex at 12:20pm once I got back.
Sunday, May 30, 2004 — No migraine, but a touch of a more common sinus headache this morning. Two extra strenght allergy sinus Tylenol. Around 4:00, I still had some general headache pain, and took two Alleve's, which helped.
Saturday, May 29, 2004 — Nothing so far, as of 12:24pm.
Friday, May 28, 2004 — I woke up with the beginnings of a migraine, but it didn't need immediate medication. I'd love to take a day off from the Imitrex, if possible. It's 9:35am now, and I'm waiting to see if it gets any worse before I pop that little pill.
Thursday, May 27, 2004 — Another Imitrex at 9:10, just before jury duty started for the day.
Wednesday, May 26, 2004 — I took an Imitrex at 9:10, after I got to jury duty this morning. It's now 3:15pm, and I have no pain, although I am very, very tired.
Tuesday, May 25, 2004 — I'm about to leave work for jury duty downtown, with no pain so far. I do have an Imitrex in my shirt pocket, just in case.
Monday, May 24, 2004 — I felt pretty good most of the morning at jury duty, but at the end of lunch I pulled the cord and took my travelling Imitrex.
Sunday, May 23, 2004 — I woke up with little enough pain, but by noon it had grown, and I took Imitrex.
Saturday, May 22, 2004 — Imitrex before heading home from my motorcycle trip.
Friday, May 21, 2004 — Imitrex before starting out for day 2 of my 3 day motorcycle trip.
Thursday, May 20, 2004 — Imitrex then more rest before I left on my motorcycle trip.
Wednesday, May 19, 2004 — No pain so far. I pick up 18 of the 100mg Imitrex this afternoon - my pharmacy really stepped up to get the insurance to cover more pills per month.
Tuesday, May 18, 2004 — No pain this morning. I dropped off my two prescriptions at Walgreen's on my way into work.
Monday, May 17, 2004 — No pain so far, although I felt a little groggy when I woke up. At my appointment this morning, Dr. Liao upped my Toprol to 50mg, and told me to take it at bedtime instead of the morning. This may help reduce the morning wake-up headaches. She also gave me a prescription for 100mg Imitrex.
Sunday, May 16, 2004 — I had some headache pain most of the day, but didn't take anything for it until 7:00 in the evening, and then just some Advil. I go see Dr. Liao tomorrow morning.
Saturday, May 15, 2004 — Some minor pain, but no medication today.
Friday, May 14, 2004 — When I work up at 5:45, I couldn't decide if my headache was Imitrex-worthy or not. When I got to the kitchen I still wasn't certain, so I took a couple of Advil. By the time I made it back to bed, I knew the Advil wouldn't be enough. I grabbed the last four of the 25mg Imitrex, and headed back to the kitchen. I ate a granola bar and drank a big glass of water, then went to lay down a little longer. I made it through jury duty with no more medication.
Thursday, May 13, 2004 — Up around 5:00, then again on my own just before 6:00, with no pain. Completed jury duty for the day with only a little too much sun from my lunch-time walk, but no headache pain.
Wednesday, May 12, 2004 — I woke up first at 3:45, then again on my own at 6:00, with no pain.
Tuesday, May 11, 2004 — Woke up groggy at 3:45, but with no pain. Went back to sleep, woke up on my own about 5:45. I had no pain, and didn't take any medication. I spent the day at jury duty, with Imitrex in reserve, but did not need it. As of 5:21, so far so good.
Monday, May 10, 2004 — Woke up naturally about 5:30, with no pain. I actually felt pretty good. I packed some Imitrex to take with me to jury duty, just in case. I got back to work after jury duty around 4:00, with the beginnings of a normal headache - pain behind the right eye, and some trouble focusing. I'm going to hold off on taking the Imitrex - whenever I take it late in the day, I wind up needing a long time to get to sleep that night.
Sunday, May 9, 2004 — I woke up with some pressure and discomfort, but not a lot. Instead of going immediately with Imitrex, I tried Alleve, thinking it would be nice to take an Imitrex break today. The discomfort lasted through the morning, but never got much worse. When I left for the Mother's Day get-together at my sister-in-law's house, I packed some Imitrex just in case.
Saturday, May 8, 2004 — Woke up at 5:30, took 4 old 25mg Imitrex, ate a sourdough roll, and went back to bed. Got up for good at 8:00am, with only that subdued tingling feeling that high doses of Imitrex give me.
Friday, May 7, 2004 — I woke up at 5:15 with some serious pain - probably 4 on the 1-10 scale. I got up just long enough to take 4 25mg Imitrex and eat a granola bar, then tried to rest until my alarm went off at 6:15. By 7:00am I was doing okay, with just that weird little hint of a problem in my right eye, but no real pain. I managed to get through my first day of jury duty without falling asleep, and as of 6:30pm had no additional pain.
Thursday, May 6, 2004 — Slept well, but woke up with the beginnings of a headache in my right eye. The pain wasn't severe, but it seemed like it would get worse, so I took a 100mg Imitrex around 10:30 along with some crackers and tuna - I wasn't going to repeat the empty-stomach problems of last Thursday. Throughout the rest of the workday, I felt some pressure in my right eye, almost the memory of pain there, but nothing definite. Otherwise, I felt good until I left work at 5:00. Dr. Liao's office had left a message that they needed to reschedule my next appointment. While I was on the phone, I asked the nurse to call in a new prescription for 100mg Imitrex - I'm out. I stopped by the pharmacy on the way home from work, but they had not gotten a call. Hopefully I can work something out for tomorrow.
Wednesday, May 5, 2004 — I didn't get to sleep until close to midnight last night, but then slept through until 5:50, and woke up feeling a little groggy but otherwise pretty good. After ten minutes or so, I shook off the sleepy feeling, and was feeling clear-headed and alert - for once. I kept to my exercise schedule before leaving for work.
Tuesday, May 4, 2004 — As of 9:45, so far so good. Slept straight through until 6:20, with no physical pain present. Things started deteriorating around 2:00. By 3:30 I was really feeling some pain, dull but persistent in the right eye. At 4:20 I left work on my motorcycle, and the heavy bumps in the carpool lane of the 210 gave me some severe pain in my right eye. As long as I could keep my head steady and avoid the bumps, I was okay - still in some pain, but nothing I couldn't deal with. I took a 100mg Imitrex when I got home, and it took care of most of the pain after an hour or so. I'm still getting used to the tingly feeling that the 100mg Imitrex give me - it's not bad, just something new and odd. And yes, I did make sure to eat something when I took my Imitrex.
Monday, May 3, 2004 — For the second day in a row, I only woke up once, a little before 6:00. Today it's probably because I couldn't fall asleep last night until close to midnight, but at least I didn't get up before 5:00. No pain so far. I even felt good enough to exercise this morning. The day took a big turn for the worse emotionally around lunch time. Coupled with the inadequate air conditioning, I had a dull but noticeable headache the rest of the day, with tightness throughout the front of my head, and pounding in both eyes. I took a couple of Nyquil to try to get some sleep.
Sunday, May 2, 2004 — Woke up only once, at 6:10, feeling fairly well rested, and with no discernable pain. In Santa Monica towards the end of a long motorcycle ride, I hit some bumps that caused my head to jerk, and I noticed some right-eye pain then. I think it had been there, but I didn't notice it as long as I didn't get jostled too hard. No medication today.
Saturday, May 1, 2004 — Woke up first at 5:11 with a dull pain in the right eye, and took some Advil. Got up for good at 6:50. I spent the day listless, tired, fatigued, and always with a little eye pain. It never really progressed to Imitrex level, so I stayed with Advil, and just layed around all day. The kids and I watched Master and Commander on DVD. Jeremy had my car all day, so I couldn't really go anywhere anyway.
Friday, April 30, 2004 — Still kind of weirded out by yesterday's medication snafu. I just felt funny when I woke up - my pulse was up, and I couldn't think straight. I had promised Jeremy my car, and finally decided it wasn't especially safe for me to ride my motorcycle to work in my current condition. I didn't take any medication, hoping to dry out from yesterday. I layed about, watching mindless trash on TV - I couldn't really concentrate on reading - and caught up on a few chores. I felt well enough to head for work around 1:00, but once I started out I decided not to go all the way in, and came back home.
Thursday, April 29, 2004 — Up at 4:40am, with a headache. I couldn't decide if it was an Advil-only headache, or an Imitrex headache, so I started with Advil and went back to bed. After 20 minutes or so, I determined that it was an Imitrex headache, and I took a 100mg pill from Dr. Liao's samples. I learned a valuable lesson: do not take 100mg Imitrex on an empty stomach. Holy cow. It took me 30 minutes to finally grasp this lesson, and I had egg and cheese on a toasted bagel. It still took 4 hours until the overall tingling became somewhat manageable. I had stomach issues until dinner time - nothing serious, but it was a little weird all day.
Wednesday, April 28, 2004 — Up early, and tired all day, but no pain, and no medication. Sometimes during the day, I'd close my eyes for a couple of seconds, and then have to consciously work to get them back open.
Tuesday, April 27, 2004 — Woke up at 5:00 after 6½ hours of sleep with a noticeable headache in my right eye. It didn't seem too bad, so I decided to start with Advil and rest a little more. I was a little tired during the day, but no more headache pain.
Monday, April 26, 2004 — I woke up around 4:45 this morning, with no discomfort. I dozed off and on until my alarm woke me up for good at 5:40 for my apheresis appointment. I was a little tired most of the day, but had no headache pain. I actually felt pretty good. I worked until 6:45, then came home, made dinner (ravioli and fresh-baked bread), and caught up with some chores. I don't remember the last time I felt this good.
Sunday, April 25, 2004 — Woke up at 5:15 am with a small headache. Took 2 Advils, went back to bed and watched (mostly listened only) to the F1 San Marino Grand Prix. Throughout the rest of the day, I felt some pressure and dull pain (maybe more discomfort than pain) in my right eye - much less than a full-fledged headache, but still noticeable at all times. I've been able to function okay, but haven't needed to do any detail work requiring concentration. While watching the Klitschko-Sanders fight on HBO, I couldn't remember Jim Lampley's name, and that frustrates me. I also felt tired most of the day, almost dozing off a couple of times while watching a movie with the kids.
Saturday, April 24, 2004 — 5.5 out of 10 headache. I took my first 100mg Imitrex, and like the 25mg dose, it gave me a tingally feeling all over. After 2 hours, I took some Advil. After 3.5 hours, it was under control. During the period from 30 minutes after taking the Imitrex until 1:45 after taking the Imitrex, the combination of the headache pain and the Imitrex tingle was somewhat unpleasant. I did not have (and did not make) an opportunity to rest during this period.
Friday, April 23, 2004 — Some discomfort, but maybe related to lack of air conditioning at the office.
