This latest one came literally out of nowhere, on a fairly quiet Thursday afternoon. Completely normal day at work, I come back from lunch break, and realize that I\u2019ve been re-reading and trying to comprehend the same sentence for like two minutes. I grab my stash of ibuprofen, pop one, and let it happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was a bad one, too, because the aura lasted pretty much the rest of the work day. That meant almost two solid hours of me being literally unable to accomplish anything due to the fact that I simply could not <em>think<\/em>. What a waste. And I needed to get as much done as possible, as I&#8217;ll be on vacation the next week. Yeesh.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>But yeah, the usual &#8220;workday migraine&#8221; symptoms of forgetting how to read, write, and speak. Having issues seeing. A little bit of numbness in the face area. But I have no idea what could have triggered it. Things have been quite good lately, so maybe it is a dietary thing? I hadn&#8217;t really been eating enough the last couple days, so that may have been a factor, but it&#8217;s not something that&#8217;s been consistent with other migraines.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, basically just went home and straight to bed. By the time I woke up, any &#8220;actual migraine&#8221; had passed and I was on the home stretch of lingering headache. So really, aside from being useless at work for the afternoon, it was a pretty &#8220;good&#8221; migraine. Still not closer to uncovering the cause, though. Total bummer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/migraine.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5170\" src=\"http:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/migraine.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"440\" height=\"257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/migraine.jpg 440w, https:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/migraine-300x175.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;It\u2019s happening again\u2026 I can feel it happening.
