I HATE headaches

This is probably a true statement to everyone that has ever had a headache especially migraines. I have had migraines for what seems like forever ( I think since I was seven-years-old). This is not my first time talking about this on my blog either, but today I was visited by what I like to call a mild migraine. I call it this because I still have all or many of the symptoms of a migraine but I am able to function with only mild difficulty (unlike bad ones where I can't even get out of bed).

Almost anything seems to trigger them: weather changes (but that seems to be less of a cause ever since I don't live right up next to the foothills), too much sugar, not enough food, some types of food, not enough (some times too much) sleep, too much stress, not enough water, too much sun.... hum and after I became a certain age womanly hormones.

Last semester I had to go to the library a lot. During one of my trips I got a few books on migraines. Can't say that I learned more than I already knew. There where lists of foods that might be considered 'trigger' food that shocked me but I can't remember them.

I thought about getting a prescription medication to treat migraines but I still have not acted upon it. I really hate taking meds and the only way I seem to be able to take them is if I feel like I am dying or a doctor tells me I have to take them... but I can't even discipline my self and take a multi-vitamin everyday... and why I decided to use the once a week birth control patch instead of taking the pill. Not liking to swallow pills is also something that I have had since I was seven.

Well I think this entry is probably a lot of ramble so I must go to bed.
