I think that's what is frustrating about it - the knowing it's not a tired yawn and will need to cancel life for the next few days. I'm glad I'm not the only one, too. It can be quite isolating.

Yes. During the prodrome phase - so annoying!!! Also, experience excessive yawning. Do you?

I was going to ask how you prevent it from occurring, so sleep doesn't get disturbed - but you're an insomniac anyway. I don't usually have a problem staying asleep, except the night before my migraine hits - it arrives like clockwork every month.

Does anyone else get Insomnia as a warning sign or pre-migraine symptom the night before their chronic migraine is due?

I love that apricot cake was a birthday tradition. Yeah, definitely some kind of special grandmotherโ€™s ingredient tucked up in there. ๐Ÿ˜… Sneaky like that, arenโ€™t they?! They know what theyโ€™re doing - make us remember them by. ๐Ÿฅฐ
