migraines suck.
Maybe it's time for me to go to the doctor, i don't know. I don't think my migraine cure is all that healthy; 4 shots of espresso and 2 excedrin migraine (approximately 250mg of caffeine). My stupid mom had to pass the lovely migraine gene down through ALL 3 of her children. My little sister started getting them when she was 2 years old.
I'm trying to start paying attention to the moments leading up to me getting them. i have yet to make any direct correlation with anything in my environment but i used to think they were caused by stress and i just recently learned that's a lie. it's about diet and sensory overload.
this morning's came on after i walked into a basement that was full of all sorts of crazy fumes. luckily i think i consumed enough caffeine in a short enough amount of time to avoid the worst of it. I just lost my vision for about an hour, no big deal.

ok, fine, i'll go to the doctor.
