Brain hurts. Someone else needs to be in charge.

Thank you! I'm not feeling nauseated and the pain is receding from the one side of the head. Most of the morning I just hung out on the couch, and I'm just beginning to be able to tolerate light. The loopiness remains for a while, but I'm really in no danger as long as I'm not attempting to do something superhuman like drive.

This is why I work at home.

The daily stuff I take cuts the migraines down from half of my life to maybe 1/10 of my life, which is a much better ratio.

The model is apparently about me going into withdrawal from my own estrogen. It's just that good. Backhanded genetic compliment. Some of them can be treated fully with Excedrin if I catch them early enough while my digestive system is still functioning. Last night I noticed one coming on and I took an Imitrex, but didn't fully process the medication overnight and ended up with a blooming headache in the morning.

It's nice to know that my own estrogen is perceived as heroin by my system, but less fun to go through withdrawal at any time based on factors I can't control. This is theoretically why more women suffer migraines than men. Hormones. But men get more cluster headaches, which I think suck even worse than migraines.

My father got debilitating migraines. In those days, there was but one solution. Sleep.

I'm glad I don't have the problem. Nobody has ever had anything good to say about the condition.

Oh yeah, I'm glad I live when I do. I'm pretty sure any previous century would have resulted in me being burned as a witch, chained to a wall, locked in a cellar or trepanned.
