Am I going to get used to this?

I often wake up with a mild headache - water and coffee cure it nicely. And today I have good reason to be nervous - it's the day I find out if I have jury duty or not.

But right now, every twinge in my head (even if it's in back, which says "tension") and every butterfly in my stomach scares me. Which, by itself, makes the butterflies and the headache *worse*. I know the difference. I even took an advil for the headache and it's starting to go away. I don't want to live this way.

Will I get used to this?

You will, in the sense that you won't worry that every twinge is an impending migraine. Also, if it turns out you have chronic migraine, there are preventative therapies that can help.

On that note, for the minor headaches (and there can be minor migraines, although they're often about helf tension headache), the best thing I have ever found is arthritis strength Tylenol and a Coke - the real stuff, not diet. I know sugar is The Evil, but it really helps.
