I've been asked before what my migraines are like:


1. First, make your stomach hot in that way you get when you've eaten something that doesn't agree with you. Break out into a cold sweat, and have chills.


2. Take a spoon, stab it through your skull, and proceed to dig a tunnel through your brain with it.


3. Vomit.


4. Make your heart beat suddenly echo in the tunnel your spoon just drug (----leaving this as freudian slip!).


5. Put ice pack on head, look for drugs, and hope like hell you can medicate yourself into oblivion until it passes.


Let's put it this way: I went to work for an hour, puked, went home. Did not dial into work. Did not answer phones. Was asleep at eleven, stayed mostly asleep until SIX. Got up once to let dogs out, and got very dizzy and nearly fell. That's it.


It's now 9.23, and I JUST feel human. Ate Chinese, which always seems to somehow magically stay down when the stomach is upset.
