The word migraine is overused. A real migraine is like you’ve got testicles in your head and someone has zapped them with a cattle prod. Then poked you hard in the eyes with frozen sardines. I had a migraine yesterday, which took me out for pretty much the whole day and most of the night. I get a migraine infrequently. I feel happy that I don’t get them more often. I’m reduced to laying in a dark room with the windows open letting in cold air. That seems to ameliorate it somewhat. At least the nausea is easy to cope with. This is something I put up with about three times a year (for years, a solipsist’s forever). I suspect it is brought on by stress and tiredness. I know that the less stressed that I become during a migraine the better it feels. So there’s probably a psychological element.
