that's definitely a migraine

jinianHad been feeling headachy all day, just a bit, like I'd slept wrong (which I had, on Wim's pillow). Had an abortive bike ride -- trip to Ikea worked out well, but then ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thatmathchick stuck herself in the eye with a bike pedal and I had to drive home -- then very good lunch at Thai Tom. On the way back to the car, I got very disoriented because most of the left side of my field of view was out of sync with the rest. Got Wim to hold my hand for the rest of the walking, and analyzed the experience: large circular chomp with scalloped edge in the slightly-upward-of-center left side, visible with either eye though my right doesn't look over far enough to perceive most of it, weird fractalish edges, contents past that edge sort of in the wrong place and difficult to focus on.
As I pointed out to Deb, I was not actually in the fetal position with pain when this happened, which is why it took many years for me to get a migraine diagnosis. If I were really smart, I would probably get a nice prescription that I can take when it gets this bad, but it's so hard to tell when it's going to be bad. My head aches pretty much all the time, and it's not really possible to say why.

To try:
- Haircut.
- Doctor.
- Diet.
- More yoga.
- More acupuncture.
- Come back to list when I have more brain and add items.
