My partner notices I have a migraine before I do.

One of the first migraine symptoms I get is brain fog. This makes it really hard to identify even the most obvious symptoms.

My partner will ask me if I need to take my abortive medication (Eletriptan), and if I don't know the answer, I have to take it. I'm usually angry for about 20 minutes about being told what to do, then the medication starts working and I'm really grateful I took it so soon.

I count myself lucky that I've found medication that works for me. My thoughts go out to all the people still looking.
