Eh, the disco balls subsided in time for the drive. These headaches are pretty normal for me. I went to the Dr last spring, did $4k worth of exams and tests including CT and MRI, and all came up with "Durrr I think u should exercise and eat healthy and let me know if it gets worse?"
I've been lucky lately, they've been mostly absent... There was about a 6 month span there, last year, where I had a headache every waking hour of every day. Work, no work, food, no food, nothing affected it. The moment I coughed or sneezed (as an allergy sufferer, usually on my way to the shower in the AM), I had a binding, crushing, world-bending headache that lasted until I went to bed that night.
Part of it seems to be muscular... To help cope, I was on cyclobenzaprene (Flexeril) every night and metaxalone (Skelaxin) every day during that 6mo period. They kept it managable, but didn't make them go away. I've stayed mostly off the muscle relaxants since the daily headaches mostly subsided.
So if anything, I should be thankful I haven't had many headaches this year. *shrug*
The weird thing is they're not traditional migraines, and don't respond well to migraine meds. They usually have one of three roots: muscular (shoulder/neck tension), cranial pressure (cough/sneeze, as mentioned above), or allergy/sinus/congestion. Yesterday/today's headache is combination of 1 and 2, but very little 3.
I have topiramate (Topamax) that I was supposed to try, daily, to see if it was effective... but I never got around to trying it, since it = no drinky. Also, not a fan of daily meds. Poor memory / routine skills. I'm lucky I remember I have to wear clothes to work - I've almost forgotten before.
BACK on track! Thermometers! Friggin' things are full of lies. I hate the glass ones. I hate anything glass. I am afraid of glass. Plastic buckets, and s/s corny kegs for this guy right here, ahyup.
