The only thing that works on my migrains is Mersyndol. It is the most powerfull over the counter analgesic. I walked in the chemist today to buy a couple of packs. This is how it went:
Me: Hi. I would like 2 packs of Mersyndol please
Chemist: How often do you use them?
Me: Quite a fair bit.
Chemist: Why do you want 2 packs?
Me: One for my house and one for my car
Chemist: Have you been to a doctor about it?
Me: Yes
Chemist: And he is OK with you taking this?
Me: Yes
Chemist: Have you looked into any alternative treatments?
Me: I have been getting migraines since I was 5. I have done everything several times over.
Chemist: There are other treatments
Me: Ive tried them all. Give me the packs.
Chemist: Here you go.
I felt really upset that I had to justify my need for medication for my migraines. Its not like I love having migraines. Its not like I choose to have my head explode every few days. If I had my way I would never get them and thus never need Mersyndol but thats not a fucking choice of mine. Why should I need to justify my condition? Im the one who suffers from them. It matters to no one but me.
