I have migraines, or so says my doctor. Usually I'm able to stave them off with good food, less stress and adequate amounts of sleep.
HOwever, since returning to Olympia--it's only been 48 hours!!--I've had two. When they hit me on campus, I can usually remedy them with greasy pizza and a Dr Pepper. Today that method did not work, and I had to resort to medication.
The pills are supposed to be 'rescue medication' which means I take it as soon as I detect the migraine. I had already done the pizza and soda, and I need to be minimally grouchy during my work shift, so I resorted to the pill. Maybe it would have worked if I had taken it at noon, when the pains began. Now I have a migraine and I feel nauseous. Luckily if I'm entertained and engaged in an activity, I don't notice the need to crouch over a toilet bowl. But as I'm currently sitting in an uncomfortable chair on display at the Information Desk, I'm not.
I just want to go home and go to sleep. :(
