As a fellow sufferer of migraines, alcohol has always been a trigger for me, especially wine. I'm wondering why you would reach for alcohol, especially while suffering from a worse-than-usual migraine. A tip... try pain medication, even otc, add caffeine plus sinus or allergy medication.

As for the plane trip, I would've said it was a hallucination, except for the physical evidence. Sorry, but I'd put this one down to a supernatural event. I'm sorry this happened to you. Just to be safe though, don't mix any more prescription medication with alcohol. You never know what could happen.

I'm also a chronic migraine sufferer, and I totally agree with the above advice. My doctor has long advised me to take, in addition to my prescription migraine abortive, a dose of Advil (ibuprofen), Benedryl (diphenhydramine), and either coffee or Coke/Pepsi for the caffeine. And definitely no alcohol, especially the wine.

As for everything you experienced on your flight, I have no explanation. Probably not related to the medication.
