kaberettSo the Entertaining thing is, I discovered while reading an article at the Migraine Trust my GP recommended, is that I am in fact on not one but two migraine preventative medications. continuously. and have been since about 2012.
Anyway! GP (phone) appt this afternoon. I got thanked for filling out the eConsult form in such detail, and (hurrah) we are doing exactly what I had hoped for, plus a few minor improvements: I'm to add in an extra 10mg of amitriptyline, leave it like that for two weeks, then if I get further migraines add in another 10mg (for a total of +20mg). Six to eight weeks from now, i.e. mid-late April, I should check in about how it's all going.
And in 3-4 months GP would want me to try titrating back down to my baseline and seeing what happened anyway, which fits in pretty neatly with my timeline of "so I wanna titrate back down once I've submitted the thesis".
Fingers crossed; at least for now I'm holding off on e.g. buying expensive wraparound prescription sunglasses for when I'm too bored to be in total darkness and too photosensitive for screens or bedside lights at even their dimmest settings...
