These are all quotes from Wikipedia.
The Ice Cream:
“A simple treatment, which has been effective for some, is a counteracting “ice cream headache”, briefly provoked by placing spoonfuls of ice cream on the soft palate at the back of the mouth. (Hold them there with your tongue until they melt or become intolerable.) This directs cooling to the hypothalamus, which is suspected to be involved with the migraine feedback cycle, and for some it can stop even a severe headache very quickly.”

The Cannabis:
“Cannabis was a standard treatment for migraines from the mid-19th century until it was outlawed in the early 20th century in the USA. It has been reported to help people through an attack by relieving the nausea and dulling the head pain, as well as possibly preventing the headache completely when used as soon as possible after the onset of pre-migraine symptoms, such as aura. There is some indication that semi-regular use may reduce the frequency of attacks.”

The Sex:
“Sexual activity has been reported by a proportion of male and female migraine sufferers to relieve migraine pain significantly in some cases.”

How good did my life just get!

I had yet another migraine yesterday, started at some point in the afternoon, but I was determined to stay till the end of the day rather than go home early. I managed to get home and make myself some dinner, but after that, had to go to bed while I still had the chance. 12 hours later I wake up at 7am…time to get ready for work.

It really bothers me how so much of my life is wasted by sleeping off a migraine because it seems the only thing that really works, and even then it doesn’t work all the time.

I want my life back minus the migraines.

So it’s Monday morning and I’m in work and I thought a nice way to start the week would be with some Mark Knopfler. Currently listening to Everybody Pays from the Shangri-La album. I really like the melody of the song. I must really thank Matt for making me listen to countless hours of Knopfler’s stuff. The same goes for his brother Martin and all that Thin Lizzy. It’s true, if you listen to something long enough, you start to like it

So I’ve gone on a bit of a health kick, more for my own benefit. I want to feel like I have more energy, and yeh I guess part of me wants to be a teeny bit slimmer, even though Chris likes my curves the way they are. In saying that, despite whether it’s to lose weight or not, eating more healthy and exercise is always good for you.

Also really trying very hard to increase the amount of water I drink. I began to realise how little fluid I actually drink in a day, so I’m aiming to drink at least 1.5 litres, which as it turns out is quite easily managable. Only problem is that it seems to be bring out the impurities in my skin on my face so I’ve got a spot. Grrrr.

So this weekend was pretty lazy. I spent 14 hours solid playing World Of Warcraft, which was much fun Got my new Blood Elf Hunter which I am loving so so much more than my ugly Undead character.

I was watching some Jane Austen thing on ITV last night and one of the actresses was sitting doing some embroidery while the ‘handsome fellow’ was reading some poetry aloud. Put me in the mood for doing more cross stitch. Maybe if I didn’t spend so much time playing WoW I could fit some in. In a way it would be good. While I am stitching and not playing I would be gaining rested xp to use next time I play, the longer I don’t play for the more I have, up to a point.
I am currently stitching a Lilliput Lane cottage, the kit is called Home Is Where The Heart Is. Mum use to collect the ornaments of the cottages so it would be nice if I ever finished it to get it framed for my mum.

Anyway think I’ve done enough talking…I should be working!

I should also play more of my 360…..soon when Guitar Hero II comes out, it will be all I do! Roll on April 6th.

Well I know it has been a while since I’ve posted.
I can assure you it was just complete laziness on my part. But I have been a bit busy.
Been spending time with Chris some evenings (therefore not posting).
Been at work (therefore not posting).
And playing World Of Warcraft (I think you can guess).

Yeh Chris and I had a nice day out on Saturday, went up to the University and then a walk through Creswell Lane and into DeCourcy’s Arcade. I love it in there, so many different wee shops to spend ages looking around.
Went to the botanics, turned out not a bad day weather wise, but we went into the greenhouse bit and oooooh it was sooo toasty and warm in the rainforesty bit. I’ve got some photo’s which I will put up later for you to see.

So other than Chris, cinema, sleeping, eating and I’ve been spending stupid amounts of time on World Of Warcraft. Still not got The Burning Crusade expansion pack, can’t afford it this month, but been playing anyway, joined myself into a wee guild that a few peeps in work have got going.
Oh how I long to be a Blood Elf. Alas I’m stuck with my Undead character just now. I’m up to level 13 now, after some crazy power levelling, with the help of Richie, thank you for your knowledge!
Right I’d better get back to work, just taking a wee time out to write this cos I won’t have time tonight…..guess what I’ll be doing

Oh also got a bedlam cube, those things are awsome.
