The People's Pharmacy headache show was posted on their site today. They used more of my interview than I expected. Including one bit early on where I said "kind of" four or five times in two sentences. Wow, me so articulate!
After my thing they interviewed a headache expert and asked him to talk about me specifically. Which was kind of weird. Like I was getting a personal consult, in the third person. His main advice for me was to take the damn Imitrex. I know, I know, I'm sure he's right.
I did learn a lot from the show. For instance I didn't know that Excedrin and Excedrin migraine are the exact same thing; it's just a marketing gimmick. At least I buy the store brand so I'm not a total marketing dupe. Also I didn't know that it's important to take headache medication only three times a week at most. Dammit. I've taken it every day this past week, just in case a mild headache turned into another killer. And I have a mild headache right now. Guess I'll just cross my fingers. The show also listed some vitamins which can work as a headache preventative, which I may try.
Anyway I recommend the show if you're dealing with headaches.
