I am so lucky, y'all.  Migraines are wonderful!  Head pain so severe you want to die!  Sensitivy to light rocks!  (Maybe I can justify making work buy me an LCD monitor because of the reduced eye strain?)

I'm actually going to go see my doctor next week beacuse the Imitrix isn't working well for me lately.  I don't know if that means my headaches aren't migraines (the thought has crossed my mind), or if I'm just lucky that way.  Either way, this sucks.  I usually have one migraine a year, and so far in the first quarter of this year, I've had three.  That (as my Math Wheels Turn) works out to one a month, and that blows.  Really.

Whatever the case, it had better clear up tomorrow.  On Thursday, I travel to Dallas for the Texas Bear Round-Up.  I know I just got back from a big gay party, but what can I say?  It's that time of year.

In other news, I am meeting with an advisor and putting together my advanced directives, and that includes designating a medical power of attorney that will make decisions based on my wishes should I not be able to express them myself.  I personally feel that this is something that everybody should have.  Maybe I'm just a big ol' control freak and want things my way.  It is, however, my right to have things my way when it comes to medical decisions that affect my quality and quanity of life.  And since I've already had one near miss, I don't want to risk it.

Migraines can be an allergic reaction.

I had a friend that used to get migraines pretty regularly, and also had some other stomach-related problems. Turned out she was allergic to gluten (basically anything that contains wheat, or has wheat by-products - which is a ton of stuff). Once she cut out the gluten in her diet, she quit having migrains.

Not to say that's your problem, but it's possible. Hopefully the doctor will figure it out!
