Migraine?

I think I had one all night last night. I suppose saying, “I think I had a migraine,” is something like saying, “I think I had an orgasm,” you'd know it if you had one. But last night I had a strange visual presence occupying my peripheral vision. It actually scared me so I went right to bed. I slowly became aware, in my half sleep, of a headache developing. It was going strong by morning and only started to let up after my morning ablution.

Were you drunk when you had your migrane? That would be something like saying, "I think I had an orgasm." Seriously, migranes are quite painful and are often preceded by a visual aura. I have not heard that a ritual of physical cleansing can rid thee of thy migrane . . . but who knows.

Two words: alien abduction. Migraines don't exist.

Anon,
I use the term "ablution,” euphemistically (that is, incorrectly) for going to the bathroom - which might help confirm Emily’s theory.

Sounds exactly like some of the migraines I have gotten. Starts with an aura and develops slowly. Others can happen - - ironically - - while the big O occurred. takes the fun out of sex, let me tell you. And still others happen when I get a visit from Aunt Flo. ( I can't believe I said that) No aura, just increasing pain that isn't helped w/ standard drugs.) I did get a shot in my tooshy of Demerol for it which made me VERY VERY happy.

love,
SA

TMI, SA, TMI. I learned that from The Office. It means "Too much information." It's kind of like saying, "Don't go there," which is cool.
