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? ;)

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
