My ex-girlfriend, Abigale, has these migraines sometimes that totally wipe her out. She has special meds, has the situation worked out with her job so she can leave anytime without getting fired, doctors say there’s nothing that can be done except pain meds.
Usually, when she has them, the next couple days, even if the pain is gone, she’s pretty irritable. Well, one day, after one of her migraines, she was totally not irritable. In fact, she was really fucking happy. I asked what was different and she said that she had tried a different medicine and it apparently worked really well. I asked what the medication was but she was a little weird about it, but mentioned it was an injection or something.
This goes on for like, two months, and her migraines are even more spaced out, so it seemed like the medicine was working great. But one day she gets a migraine and it’s like it used to be where she was upset. I asked about the new meds and why she thinks it’s not working. She grumbled about not having them and I asked why not. Biggest mistake of my life. She snapped at me and told me the truth.
