I find the caffeine really helps the drugs kick in, and it doesn't keep me from sleeping when I have a migraine.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My prescription migraine med is the ancient Fioricet (because my doctor doesn't want me taking Imitrex since it can cause cardiac issues, and I already have enough bad cardiac DNA to worry about), which is caffeine, acetaminophen, and a mild barbiturate. It works okay, but makes me dopey despite the caffeine.

Eventually the customers will realize that my connecting into their computer to do the work is not a nice thing I'm doing for them, it's something I do for myself because they're so stupid.

Caffeine's effect of constricting blood vessels can help alleviate headaches in and of itself.

So now you've gotten strong recommendations from everyone for all three colors for a metric shitton of different reasons. Possibly we are the opposite of helpful.
I like hearing all the differing opinions because my interior decorating as an adult has been haphazard and this is helping me think it through. I don't know that I have a particular skill or talent at it, mostly because this is my first opportunity to really decorate from scratch. I know I want bright colors, but I want those colors to go with each other and not clash or be too busy.
I have to make all these choices about what I want, which is fun but also overwhelming.

My decorating is white(ish) walls to reflect light, then lots of book cases filled with colorful stuff.

Vortex Health Update:
Not dead. Slept like crap because I kept waking up to make sure I wasn't dead. Went to Urgent Care. They took some blood and sent me for a CAT scan. I have a follow up appointment tomorrow.
Thanks for the help, hivemind!
Although the nurse line 911 thing is kind of de rigueur. If there's a chance in hell, they tell you to call 911 as a CYA measure.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Hope all went well at the doctor's, Vortex.

I am amused at the idea of waking up to make sure you're not dead, but I would totally be doing that too.

Burrell, I've found that naproxen sodium (Aleve or its generic counterparts) works better for my migraines than other OTC stuff. Only downside is if it doesn't work, you have to wait 8 hours before you can take any more NSAIDs or Tylenol.
