Man, I woke up with what I think was a migraine, pretty sure. Family members have had them, this is my first one. I now feel intensely remorseful about their suffering. I woke up by laying on the couch for a half hour, then getting up to take a bunch of advil and Tylenol. I really... I hope it passes, the kid and I are going on a road trip. It's better than it was, but not exactly stellar.

Believe me, I tried to go back to sleep but I never, ever can. And, I really want today to be a nice , stress free day and ect. We'll see.

I used to mix an NSAID with caffeine to knock my migraines down to normal headaches. Worked pretty well.

ehpro armor sitting in cart...need to start amassing some rebate points once more...

Aw, crap. I was looking up the Armor to see what it was like and stumbled across the Tauren. I used to play World of Warcraft with my kids and Tauren was my favorite race. I'm not too keen on using a mech with anything other than a beefy 26650 though. I get nervous about 'splosions.

It's slightly improved, thank you @lupinehorror . Yeah, my sister used to be totally disabled by them, and so did my kid. I sympathized, but I didn't empathize. I now empathize. It's gotten a bit better, but there is plenty of room for improvement.

I guess it could be a sinus infection (it's allergy season). Flonase would fix that I'm sure. I used to get a sinus infection, like, every other week as a kid. Then allergy shots and stuff, but I'm right at that time period to get allergic to a new 'place." I actually noticed when all the pollen went away.

Sigh. Coffee and headache stuff is helping. I just want to make sure I get/feel well enough to drive safely. I would hate to cancel, I would hate to drive if I am blinded by headache. Sigh.

A quick drive by. I'm finally sprung! First day getting settled in, but I'll have the weekend to spend catching up. The good news, all my vape stuff made it without breakage and I can order stuff directly to me rather than having to use my daughter's address anymore. I think that's a good thing. Maybe. We'll see how painful that is on my wallet.

I suffered chronic migraines for over 10 years. They’re not always the most painful thing in the universe, often they are, but not always. I tried over 30 meds, as many as ten at a time. Still, there were times I literally beat my head against concrete because that brief moment of impact felt good. Weird I know.

Aspirin and caffeine may help, ice may help too. I would put the ice bag on my neck and a heating pad on my back to help redirect the blood flow. Also, ice cream. Sometimes brain freeze would stop the migraine right in its tracks.

I still have them occasionally, like yesterday and today, with the storms moving through, but nothing like they used to be.

Hope it passes quickly for you.

I'm pretty sure it's 'taur-in' and not 'tor-ron' though. Also, the guy reviewing the Tauren puts his batteries in with the positive terminal down facing the switch. Is that optimal?
Battery positive up is always safer.

Oh MAN, I just freaking took a look at my email inbox. Yeah, gotta fix this headache, I really need to get out. LOL. The only not stressful thing in it was some vapemail arriving. I have to get out and do something stress free..

ZERO bugs in the bathroom however, so there' s THAT. Man, I was pleased. I KNEW it had to do with the underside of the house, really. I mean, a spider or two is one thing... THAT? Was something quite different.

45 minutes to get my headache under control to decide if I can do it. Just took more advil. I'm not so worried, I think doc's just raised the "Advil per day limit" recently, as they were busy taking away opiates and stuff. I don't use it that often anyway. Fingers crossed. LOL.
