Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

Just like he suspects my dizzy spells are migraines where the headache never shows up at all.

My brother gets those. ENT suspects that his pain tolerance is so high that he can't feel them. He gets dizzy, though, and his pupils about pop out of his head. It's wild.

I'm at work. No one left me work to do, so I'll be filling out social security paperwork and writing my paper that is due on Tuesday. Fun, fun!

What is even happening?

I crave the green tea beforehand.

Do you think there's any chance it triggers you, ita?

Actually, to be more accurate and echo what the ENT said -- that's probably not a hangover. That's a migraine, with the headache gone. Just like he suspects my dizzy spells are migraines where the headache never shows up at all.

That's interesting. I would the occular migraines, and then have a tolerable (iow non-migraine) headache, after they went away. Come to think of it, I would have a little hung over feeling during that.

How did you test go? Do you have results yet?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Do you think there's any chance it triggers you, ita?

Nope. I get the migraine whether or not I have the tea. I've just recently realised that this is a symptom that comes before the hyper-tasting and the hyper-smelling (I also used to think that it would be a big smell that'd set me off, but honestly, by that point, I'm a migraine desperately in search of a smell -- it can be just a normal smell, but I'm so sensitive that it throws me right over into headache).

My MRI was Thursday. I haven't heard anything back from the ENT, not even the neuro appt they were supposed to make. I'm not loving him right now.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm so sorry about the migraines, ita. I hope your doctor can find something that will help.

I hate the waiting for all things medical. I wouldn't be happy about that, either. I don't like to bug doctors' offices, because I know just how busy they are. But if they tell me they're going to do something, I expect them to do it.

(I also used to think that it would be a big smell that'd set me off, but honestly, by that point, I'm a migraine desperately in search of a smell -- it can be just a normal smell, but I'm so sensitive that it throws me right over into headache).
That makes a lot of sense. I think the same kind of situation holds true of me and both my allergies, and my panic attacks.

Looks like a suspect confessed to killing that Alabama woman in Aruba. The story doesn't release names. My guess is it is the man whose father is studying to be a judge. [link]

Um, what did I say about not waiting 'til the last minute? Yeah. Right. Later, Buffistas.

If I only had a brain...

Are migraine "hangovers" normal for others who get them? I feel just fuzzy and still very off the day after the migraine is gone oftentimes.

Yes, oh, yes. No brain, floaty, tired.

That's such a lovely story, Cindy. Congratulations seem wrong, but hurray for your family.

ita, my dad gets migraines with no pain; it's not all that unusual.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I get things I'd describe as migraines with no pain -- they feel like a migraine headache without the headache. The dizzy spells don't share any of those brain grindy, hypersensitive, heavy nausea laden sensations. They're just a big deep pully feeling into the bed, with optional spins.

That's why I was surprised.

But, hey, if he never calls me back, I get to ignore him, right?

Opt out. Just say "no".
