only one full out migraine since the last one, however it happened to fall on my birthday. so while I was glad to have the 6 week break (some headaches, and some low grade migraines) it put in its punch. In fact, my head still hurts 4 days later, fun. so i’m not sure if this is a step in the right direction, or if this 5 day spell is a bad sign.



bad day 3 years ago

started a new job yesterday. training is being done in a conference room to facilitate video conference with people across the state also training. big open window behind me, uncomfortable chairs, no support, etc. barely made it home before puking. have no idea what i was supposed to have been learning in the afternoon. sitting there was the best i could do.
tried to go vote. couldn’t get out of bed without puking. my partner had to go without me. at least one of us voted. now, i’ve been awake for an hour, trying to get some oatmeal and applesauce to stay down. i do NOT want to miss a day of training. i will go in early and ask the trainer about switching seats and such. i cannot have another migraine.
before yesterday i have actually been doing ok. small migraines that i can treat, or at least muddle through. this is the first time i have had uncontrollable vomiting in a long time. not fun. my throat is still sore.



my plan 3 years ago

combinations of these things have worked in the past, it’s just a matter of keeping up with them, and being consistant.

  • allergy medication on schedule – exactly every 12 hours
  • no msg or aspartame, ever
  • proper posture (especially at my computer)
  • limit amounts of food i’m allergic to
  • limited exposure to bright lights, sun, and flashing lights
  • 400-600 MG of B2 daily
  • yoga
  • 4-5 small meals spaced over the day
  • regular sleep
  • 2 L water daily

i need to work on the yoga and the meals timing.
