Woo, I hit my insurance deductible. How many different tests can I undergo so I can stick it to Humana? (Our coinsurance is 100% covered by Humana after we hit our deductible.)
Thanks, stomach. You are an expensive organ this year.

We didn't get much of an eclipse - I didn't go out and it was hard to tell what was dimming from the eclipse and what was just the clouds. I did see a bunch of people outside, some with glasses and some with pinpoint cameras. There was a double-decker tourist bus stopped and some of the people had glasses. One person decided that looking at the sun through their phone camera was fine ... sigh ... people ....

I told my coworker I was battling a low-level migraine (seriously I am slightly headache-y, slightly nauseated, and slightly sensitive to smells) and she did the "maybe you're just dehydrated" spiel. Nothing makes me crazier. If I'm complaining that painkillers haven't touched it, a glass of fucking water is not going to help.

I hear dehydration can cause confusion and poor language comprehension. Maybe she should drink some water.

Hahaha! So true. She's super sweet, so I didn't snark at her. I did say that I don't think I've ever had a headache that went away after drinking water.
It's amazing how much I get this when I say I have a headache. I guess people think they're being helpful, but they're really not. I'm going to start asking them if it's ever worked for them.

Data point of one, but drinking water (and/or eating something) is pretty much always the first thing I do when I have a headache, and it does sometimes help! But I also understand that it must be annoying to hear that from other people all the time.

It has never, ever helped me, even if not eating or even too much sun were the cause of my headaches. Mostly my headaches are cause by muscle tension, anxiety, or hormones, and no amount of water will help.

Have you tried throat punching your co-worker and leaving work? I'm just sayin.

Punching people in the throat is very therapeutic.
