Konk!
So I get these awful headaches. I don’t know what causes them. They basically creep up on me and floor me for a day or two. This weekend has been one of those instances. I slept twenty hours on Saturday and hardly moved from the bed today. My doctor (God bless him and his luchador mask) told me not to take any caffeine or alcohol when I get them, so I’ve tried to stick to that.
But, jeez, what a drag.
Anyway, enough of my whining, here’s Lewis Carroll from his pamphlet Feeding the Mind:
“To ascertain the healthiness of the mental appetite of a human animal, place in its hands a short, well-written, but not exciting treatise on some popular subject—a mental bun, in fact. If it is read with eager interest and perfect attention, and if the reader can answer questions on the subject afterwards, the mind is in first-rate working order. If it be politely laid down again, or perhaps lounged over for a few minutes, and then, ‘I can’t read this stupid book! Would you hand me the second volume of “The Mysterious Murder”?’ you may be equally sure that there is something wrong in the mental digestion.”
Hmm, are you taking a multivitamin? There are several deficiencies that can cause migraines to happen. Also, do you get foreshadowing of them?
I don’t regularly take multivitamins, but probably should be.
There’s some foreshadowing: a pain behind my eye or just a dull ache on one side of my head. Sometimes the headache comes and goes, other times like yesterday and today it doesn’t.
Although avoiding caffeine is normal, should you have the foreshadowing, drinking coffee will lessen the duration and intensity, supposedly. It worked for my son when he had them.
And take the mulivite, 🙂
Thanks! I will.
