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.
That’s awesome you have your partner’s support and intuition to help you avoid the worst of symptoms.
