Hi- I have to say the majorities of my attacks occur approximately 1 hour after falling asleep. The pain awakens me. At work, I have retreated to my office for a period of time, with an ice bag, if I don't have imitrex. Thats' if its real bad.Sometimes if its a 5 or less on a pain scale I just keep working. I have had short term memory loss while I am in cycle, but not other times. I am a nurse, last time I had no imitrex, but guess what? PLENTY of Oxygen. Deliverd per mask at 10 liters, it brought me from a 7 to a 3. I kept working. ( Ok, I'm lucky) Mine come on the right side exclusively, and I can think of no reason, injuries, etc. PFD&N! Tami
