When M’Mera and Elyss parted after their shopping day on the star base, the science officer was already aware of a migraine brewing behind her eyes. She’d been seeing the prodromal aura in her left eye for the last fifteen minutes, which meant pain was about to drop on her like an anvil. Hoping to catch it before it incapacatated her, she stopped by her quarters in order to drop off her purchases and then had every intention of heading to medical.

Just as she lay her packages down on the bed, excruciating pain engulfed the left side of her head. Too late–Elyss thought as she, too, sat down hard. She was always surprised at how fast her migraines manifested sometimes. Her current one was a doozy. After taking a few deep breaths, Elyss found her feet and headed out of her quarters. Time to get to medical before the vomiting started.

A few moments later, the doors to sickbay swooshed open and Zavey entered, one hand to her head and eyes mostly closed. “Help me—please—migraine…”

By now Cross was back on her feet , she had done her medical and Lt Elyss had told her about the migraines but when the CMO had told her to come to sickbay the Lt had said she always managed the migraines by herself .

OOC: That is not what she said. She said that she’d had them for years and that sedatives worked best for her so she could sleep through the pain.

Cross escorted her to a biobed, she could tell that this time it must be worse then the previous ones . As she picked up the medical trioder Cross asked ‘’Where is the pain mostly located ? Is your vision blurred and if so is this the first time it has effected your eyes ? Have you already taken any medication? ‘’.

Cross CMO.

Allowing Cross to lead her to a bio bed, Elyss closed her eyes against the harsh light of the medical bay. Through her lids, she could still feel the needle like pain that the light brought with it. Making her way up onto the bed, she curled up on her side. “Left side of my head. Nauseaus, I haven’t taken anything. I need a sedative, something to knock me out till the pain passes.” Elyss heard the familiar sounds of the tricorder scanning her and could feel the presence of the doctor at the side of the bed. She had no idea who else might be there because she wouldn’t open her eyes. Meanwhile, her stomach roiled with the need to vomit.
