Thanks. I'm on Day 5 with this. Taking my Aimovig in 3 days so hopefully that will help with the migraine. Meanwhile, I'm using heat and massaging my jaws for recovery from my recent surgery.

Too much sleep, not enough. Just enough. Chronic insomnia. Like everything it varies. I hope you can find your happy medium. 😊
