Out of migraine medicine because my doctor messed up my prescription. So now I’m living on caffeine and earplugs.

@farah If it's any help when I had migraines I used to alternate paracetamol* and ibuprofen tablets. You can take either 4 hourly but as they are different types of drug you can, for example take paracetamol at 8am, 12 noon 4pm and ibuprofen at 10am, 2pm, 6pm and so on.
* Paracetamol is called something different in the US but I've forgotten what!

@pthane Thanks! Unfortunately I can’t take paracetamol (it’s Tylenol in USA, but I’m familiar with both terms as I was born and raised in Bangladesh, a former British colony).

@farah I can't take ibuprofen (kidney problems) but fortunately the migraines stopped when I left teaching. Funny that!

@pthane Just wanted to let you know the ibuprofen actually worked. So thank you!! 💕
