Sunday Surprise: Migraine Misery

Hi peeps,

Sorry for the late and short post today. I'm suffering through a migraine that started last night and won't let up. Here's a surprisingly accurate description of how I'm feeling:

The brightness of my computer screen is hindering the length of this post. But, I thought to myself, I bet some of our readers suffer from migraines too. Maybe I can find something worth sharing with them on Pinterest. And, do you know what? I was supremely let down by how many whiny-type posts came up when I searched "migraine". Seriously, the type of things that I don't even want to post here; images/cartoons/typography that were snotty and unhelpful. This really threw me off guard, because Pinterest, in my experience, is mostly really positive.

No matter, I came up with a couple of posts that I thought were actually USEFUL.

This post really hits the nail on the head for me. All of these items are available at my house and in my car, in the event that a migraine strikes while I am out. I am not as diligent with the journal as I should be, but still, very spot on here:

Knowing migraine triggers is HUGE. Heat is my big, big, big one. I call 79 degrees "migraine weather"-- because, despite my being born and raised in the lovely Arizona, I can feel migraines start to creep up the back of my neck when it hits 79 degrees.

I love juicing-- and I am really eager to try this recipe. Perhaps after my nap.

Oooh, really? I'm going to be extra  conscious about working these into my diet to see if I see a decrease in migraines. Have any of you tried this? If so, what did you think?

Hahaha! And I know that we all like to cope with humor, so these next two made me chuckle AND are true:

I'm so sorry that this post lacked my usual spunk. I think I've hit the wall. I wish all of you a marvelous and creative Sunday. I know I'm not alone when I say that I can't wait to see what you've come up with for the Use It Up Challenge.

Ta ta for now!
