Sorry about the dearth of posts over the last couple of days! I’ve been on a Migraine Vacation. Alas, this is not a vacation FROM migraines; it is, rather, a perverse sort of anti-vacation vacation in which instead of lying on a beach with a nice big lemonade you lie on the couch with a constant low-grade migraine.
I’m ok; I just get go through these from time to time. I’ve had issues with chronic migraines for years. The meds I take control them somewhat but don’t keep them from recurring, and I go through stretches where they’re pretty much unending — not full-blown stab-in-your-eye-socket migraines but migraines still powerful enough that they’re impossible to control with over-the-counter pain meds. Not the end of the world, but it’s hard to get much work done.
I will do my best to get some short posts out though. And hopefully this will ease up a bit sometime in the near future.
Thanks for your patience, and giant thanks to all those who have been donating during this pledge drive! More on that in a bit.
If you haven’t donated yet, here’s that magic button again!
Thanks again!
Be well, Dave!
You do work that would drive many of us into headache territory.
Take care of yourself, David!
At the risk of cliché Get well soon.
Those are awful. Take care and make sure you drink enough water.
Take care of yourself
Feel better, man!
Aw, feel better.
My cousin gets that. She somehow manages to put on sunglasses and teach kids anyway through that — I have *no idea* how that’s even possible.
Take your time, bruh 🙂
Feel better David. ?
Have a capybara picture.

Does the gently bubbling stream help? I hope so.
It is my new favorite thing. Thank you.
Take care of yourself. Hope you feel better soon.
Thanks, everyone!
eli, I have been using that video and assorted favorite beach videos. They’re nice to have going in the background.
Urgh. You have all my empathy; I’ve had them for 3 decades. Stay in the dark, wrap yourself in soft things (preferably ones that purr), and feel better soon!
Yikes…that’s no fun! Feel better soon! Water, rest and Tylenol are great…it would probably help to eat some hot chicken noodle soup if you feel you can.
Much sympathy, from another occasional visitor to Migrainia. Hope you feel better soon!
Weirdly, I’ve found that I can usually head off a migraine by listening to certain types of music at window-rattling volume. I don’t know if it’s the vibration, or if it’s just because I find that kind of music soothing, but if I can listen to it within an hour or so of when I first feel one coming on, it almost always works. I even keep a playlist for that purpose.
Unfortunately, once one gets going, it doesn’t really help (not much does). So… I guess that’s not much help.
You got my sympathies, David. Rest up as much as you can.
Ugh, migraines are no fun. Take care of yourself, and feel better soon.
Eew, I was down for the count with a migraine myself last night, so I can empathise. Hope you feel better soon. =/
Hang in there, David. And feel better soon!
Take care, David. Hope you feel better soon.
Wishing you good quality rest and speedy relief.
Be well soon!
Take all the capybaras and bubbling streams you need, David. You’ve more than earned them. Hope you feel better soon!
I’m sorry that you’re feeling unwell, David.
I assume that the cats are excellent nurses.
I hope that you’re on the mend soon.
