But Baby, I really DO have a headache this time

[cabenson]

Shit. As diligent as I am in avoiding the triggers, I can feel the cold fingers of a migraine as they grasp my eyes and begin their evil massage. It started on the left side...definitely not a good sign. Neck and jaws already tensing and light sensitivity is starting to rear it's ugly head. At least I'm not sick to my stomach...I was able to wolf down a steak and still help Mrs CB get the groceries (I push the cart and sneak in the cookies).

I'm wondering what triggered this one. Not cilantro, definitley not using artificial sweetener. The weather is changing...much warmer and more humid. Damn...we had bacon 2 days ago. It was very smokey and sometimes smoked things and foods with artificial smoke can trigger one. Stoopid pig meat...but so damn salty good.
I took the Imitrex so it should help, but I'm bummed. I wanted to write tonight.

On a better note we ate out and I got busted looking at the young server's butts. Of course, when I pointed out exactly what was making me drool all over my not-too-healthy salad, Mrs CB joined right in. We are old hag dykes (she is, not me...really!)

Should probably go lay down...would hate to break my 19 month streak of NOT visiting the ER. I wonder if they remember me? ;)

hey girl,

god, lay down in a dark room (and tape the cats' mouths shut)

migraines are no one's friend. i count myself lucky that I haven't had one in years - used to get them all time time in grammar through high school - back when there wasn't good drugs

so, medicate, medicat, medicate

Went to the ER once about 3 yrs ago...got a shot of the good stuff. About 18 mos ago, I had to go by ambulance when I pinched my spinal nerve and couldn't get in the car. I actually fell on the ground that was covered with 8" of snow and laid there until they came for me. The punk ass kid across the street yelled, "Hey Mom! The big one just went down!" Little bastard!

that's rough.
"the big one"? did you kick his ass?

Actually, he was arrested a few weeks later for fighting in school (he was in the 7th grade and was 6'3" tall). They moved away at the end of the school year...after he was expelled.

Okay, so...pinot noir is good for a migraine, then?

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

Of course not!;)But it does taste so good with chocolate. I really don't have trouble with red wine which is a surprise. But no cilantro, parsley, artificial sweetner, smoked stuff, artificial smoke...or chardonnay.

artificial sweetner

I'd die without my diet coke

my theory: I eat enough calories - I sure don't wanna be drinking them (unless alcohol is involved)
