If I were to say that I am not sensitive to light, or noise, that the pain is spread acrss my forehead (but about an inch back) rather than behind one eye, that I can sleep fairly easily, that I'm not nauseous, and that I'm only in serious pain when I sit or stand (lying, crawling and keeping my head very low all leave me fine/headachy) would other people begin to doubt I had a migraine? My mother is more of the opionion that I have a mild concussion, from jolting my coccyx so hard it sent a shock wave up my spinal fluid; at the time I felt winded, slightly asthma-y and a little dazed, but I didn't develop a headache until about thirty minutes later, after we'd gone from the cold outdoors to a warm pub.

And if it is a mild concussion, is it worth dragging myself over to the drop in centre, or will they tell me there's nothing more they can do other than prescribe me some anti-inflammatories? I have ibuprofen, but it's not really working (of course, it needs fat in my stomach to work, which is a bit awkward when I have neither food nor the ability to cook it: yesterday the only solids I had were Roses chocolates! Spending all day in bed does not work up an appetite.
