In other news today, I woke up with a headache and went to work. It returned, and I decided to finally take my meds now rather than later, when they wouldn't be able to take away the worst of the migraine.

And discovered the hard way that yes, I really do need to have more food on my stomach before taking them. :P When it hit the point that I was camping out in the bathroom in case I threw up, I decided that yes, I really needed to go home. So went home, Toby got food for me, which helped, and then I took a three-hour nap-ish thing.*

Feeling better now, although not 100%. We went out for Thai food, as Toby was craving pad Thai, and I had tilapia with ginger sauce, which was not at all spicy (wasn't sure my stomach could handle spicy), and which was very good.


I guess it's spring, huh?


* I slept some in there, but not sure how much. I listened to podcasts the rest of it.

You can listen to things and otherwise function? Swank!

In migrainey news- aren't you in Texas too? My migraine's been bleeding out my eyes all rotting day. Maybe there's something in the air? Or...or Mexico's invading?* Or something?


*No, no it's not. It's sittin' where it's always been. The air, though, may have Plans.

Most of the time, I can listen to podcasts, and sometimes read - my migraines are primarily the low-pain ANNOYING sorts that just sit there, and drag me down into exhaustion. (I inadvertently discovered last year that artificial sweeteners made them worse - after giving those up, I don't think I've had any of the bad-pain ones, and fewer overall.) If the pain's on one side, I can put the earbud in the other ear and listen. I just can't look at a projective-light screen like a TV or computer monitor. Kindle e-ink is reflective light, so I can read it if it's not too bad.

And I think it's the shifting air pressures that do things to my head. :P
