How can your head hurt? It's Friday!
So here's the thing, I get really bad headaches. Had 'em for years, I've tried every migraine drug known to mankind and I still get really bad headaches. I don't eat "trigger" foods, I don't drink red wine, and I'm careful not to have too many 5 hours worth of sleep days in a row. I've been on preventative medicine, and I've become a slave to reactive medicine. For years I've operated a 3 step plan (take this one first, if that doesn't help move on to this one, then if it's really bad inject this into your leg), that's how bad the stupid headaches have been for the past 28 or so years in my head. For some reason it seems as though I'm tied to the barimetric pressure when it fluctuates because whenever a storm's coming in, my head will REALLY hurt. My sense of smell is heightened (and I'm already one step away from being a professional perfume mixer/tester due to my ability to identify smells of all kinds), and light of any kind nearly blinds me. Sometimes I see little orbs of diffused light right before my eyes. Other times I feel woozy and know I need to get somewhere safe and fast. When I feel this coming on, I have to get to my bedroom, pull the blackout drapes, quickly put crisp, clean sheets on the bed that have been washed and dried with no fragrances, turn the thermometer down so it's cold, very, very cold, and sleep.
