I am vindicated!

There *is* such a thing as a mini-migraine, according to a neurologist from the Mayo Clinic in one of the NYTimes medical blog posts in a series on migraine.

I mean, I was 99 44/100% sure that I was experiencing mini-migraines, where the pain was very low, instead of regular headaches, but it's nice to see a doctor confirming it. And I've just come out of one that started sometime before I woke up yesterday. :D (Thunderstorm yesterday, possibly associated with it?)

Previously, I'd figure out they they were mini-migraines because Advil didn't touch them, or reduced the pain a little bit for a little while. Now, post-artificial-sweeteners, Advil often makes them go away! Yesterday's didn't fully go away, but it took it from "annoying nagging headache" to "headache I forget I have if I'm focused on something," which is still a world of difference.

And yeah - I'm always nervous it's going to blow up, because if I don't take the Relpax soon enough, it's not very effective.
