As a doctor-hating, self-diagnosing kind of guy, I’ve decided that the reason I’ve had a migraine for two straight days is the weather.
I’ve started to notice that when there’s a drastic change in temperatures, my head starts to feel like someone’s sticking an ice pick in my temple, my stomach gets unsettled, every quiet whisper seems like a shout, and even a glimmer of light might as well be a beacon shining right into my optic nerve. And since I haven’t been to a doctor in several years, I don’t have any of that miracle drug Imitrex around.
Frankly, it seems to me that the best way to deal with this would be to get a pressurized suit of some kind, so that the changing high pressure/low pressure systems wouldn’t get to me. I could always be in a nice high pressure environment — in the air pressure sense, that is — and maybe my brain would settle down.
For now, though, I’ll spend a couple more hours here in bed tossing and turning, trying to get the light out of my eyes (those who have seen my bedroom[in pictures, get your mind out of the gutter, would ya?] will now realize why I have it painted a very dark teal with dark gray room-darkening curtains) and find the elusive cold side of the pillow.
This really sucks.
Boy do I know that feeling. Living 10 miles from two major waterways (this Missiouri and Mississippi rivers) takes a big toll on my sinuses.
Here’s a hint- what seems to work best on soothing my migraines is a nice Tuscan Red Wine, chased with a fresh spoonful of black-tar heroin injected straight into the eyeball. Umm?. heroin. It works so well, it’s almost like it’s actually destroying the very part of the brain that hurts.
Take THAT brain!
Try BC Powder. It works very quickly.
