another migraine. i don't know what triggers these off. i haven't done anything out of the ordinary today or anything.

i was told some years ago by a headache doctor that they weren't "real" migraines, but just tension-related hedaches or something. and that if i relaxed they would go away. which kind of feels like i'm being blamed for them

but i don't see how. i get kpain, right now mainly behind and a little to the above of my left eye, along with strong light aversion and not liking nloise. they have been incapacitating and i hope they aren't again. if i get a bad one nothing i take seems to stop it.

i need to fix this. it was supposed to be fixed already.

i could but then i am not sure how well i would function in the mornings. i'm pretty sure its not dietary - did do the note-taking thing. milk may have been a factor before, but have stopped drinking it. i think sleep is probably the issue - have noticed a strong correlation with broken sleep and pain.

i generally take either ibuprofen (generic name) or migraleve (a brand, dunno what's in it). mainly ibp at the moment. today i have taken the maximum dosage and no real effect.

i did try going without any for a few weeks, a couple of years back, and i was generally better but it did mean i had to sacrifice entire days. i can function now, it just hurts.
