If Clo has a schooled friend over and so eats tea at 6pm and I eat with them if Marcus is due home late, I get a migraine the next day unless I have a second substantial dinner later.

I’ve also taken to bringing up a huge glass of water to the study and surf the internet whilst drinking it – and when it’s gone it’s time for bed! Better a middle of the night loo visit than a migraine.

MIL takes Fiorinal, 4 times a day now she says, it’s crept up since she started on it. She is now addicted to it and yet still says she has migraines daily. Her doctor had warned her about getting addicted to them but she disregarded that advice. The headaches she has are probably rebound headaches and what she should do is wean herself off the Fiorinal – but of course, the headaches will be worse while her body readjusts to non medicated levels – this she would never countenance.
