Day after migraines

I swear I love the day after a migraine. You do appreciate life a whole lot more! Last night was pretty bad, I had slurred speech, and had problems processing information. I took my mom to the doctor's but knew I had to get home, quick, when I had problems talking. Yesterday was the worst migraine, to date.  I knew I wasn't pregnant, because I have been charting my cycle (didn't even ovulate, this month). I took a pregger's test, just to be safe. Negative. I took an immitrex (doctor said it was okay, anyway, but I just didn't want to take it if I was pregnant).  I just want to kiss the person who invented this drug, today.
  No more headache, but my issue is with vanity.  The day after a migraine, I have really dark circles beneath my eyes. Immitrex makes me sleep almost like I am in a coma, so I know I have had plenty of sleep. But I don't know why I look like I had the shit kicked out of me. What are some beauty tricks/ home remedies to get rid of dark circles? Does anyone else get these after a migraine? I'm grateful that my headache's gone, but I wish I didn't look like hell.

    I get aura effects with my migraines too. I also experience numbness in my hands. It's so freaky.
    The day after I usually feel like I have a hangover. I don't get circles under my eyes though. That stinks!

    Sometimes I vomit with migraines, I can count on nausea, and stiffness in my neck, as well, as light sensitivity to say the least. I had to drive home, at night, with my visor down to avoid looking at headlights. Once the light sensitivity sets in, I have to get off the roads.
      Today, i look like Gru (the foster father) of the kids in the movie Despicable Me.

    I love Imitrex too!  Though for me, if I take it too late, it doesn't work.  And my migraines start as headaches and no other symptoms.....so I often don't know it's a migraine until it's too late.  I also love Imitrex for the ability to knock out a nagging headache in about 10 minutes when Alleve just isn't cutting it.

    And you're right.....the next day makes you feel like a milltion bucks!

    I don't get migraines, but I completely feel for you guys.  They sound horrendous.

    As for the dark circles, have you tried chilled cucumber slices, or chilled potato slices?  They both have slight lightening properties, and the cold should help with any puffiness.  I usually have worse issues with puffiness than darkness, so I just put a couple of spoons in the freezer for half an hour and use those.  If I dig up anything interesting I'll let you know.
