Da Throbbin in the Noggin by r-a-blackpaws

So, yesterday was SO much fun at work. #sarcasm

I had not one, but TWO separate migraine episodes over the course of four hours.

Got hit so bad at work that I was actually off-balance (the migraine affected my coordination).

Sleep helped things get somewhat better: I just have pain and pressure, and the sunglasses are on.

sighs

It's really odd. First time in years I've had multiple migraines in a day. First time in a long while I've had two in the same month.

What's not odd: where it happened.

My migraines tend to hit when I am in high-stress areas...and that's two major places: conventions...and work.

I am giving strong consideration to calling off today, to allow myself to recover (and to not deal with Stupid while migrained)...but I really don't feel bad enough to warrant calling off (yes, there is a level of bad I believe I have to feel in order to call off, which is why I have averaged only three missed days/year since 2010).

I'll mull calling off over. See if I feel worse/better the closer I get to work.

    Urgh, sorry foxy man that's no good. Work recently installed these high powered scent blowers to "provide the store with a fresher scent than ya know, food"...and it has promptly given people issues from stomache aches to allergy fits to so on and so forth. :/ Wonder if something changed there to give you problems? Other than the new "scheduling" of restocking

      With the number of people with scent allergies, I do not understand businesses who use them. It's a terrible idea

        The funniest part of that is that our company has gone from the highest OSAT (overall satisfaction) score to the lowest in half a year due to insane turnover and new hires, new crappy Point of Sales units, and that was their way to "help it out". DUH

          That sounds strikingly like there was turnover in management as well.

            Surprisingly no, not yet at least...lol I think it's just a desperate way to rebound. Yesterday they started painting and changing signs to "update and be more uniform with the rest of the company".

              I am not sure what causes the migraines. I've ruled out diet (as a food-related migraine would've hit much sooner)...so I think it may actually be stress. Just, having two separate migraine events in a short span was very bad.
              But, I took the day off and lounged in the dark. Feeling a bit better.

      Thanks, but I just took the day off and sat in the dark. I am feeling a bit better now, but still have some light sensitivity.
