[healthwork] further adventures in migraine

[kaberett]

• ... okay, well, that's not not a hormonal-cycle-related pattern starting to emerge :| (still not tracking anything else particularly carefully, but no link with alcohol consumption so far...)
  
• prodrome symptom: thermoregulation, particularly if I am feeling too warm
  
• prodrome symptom: "cognitive impairment + photosensitivity" is in fact distinguishable from "abruptly so tired I can't keep my eyes open" (and can be trivially checked by going into a darker room)
  
• setting everything up to be light-on-dark makes screens much more tolerable, so I should add "setting up my laptop so it's a single settings switch that's easily accessible" to my todo list
  
• zolmitriptan 2.5mg experiment #1: took drug at ~1624 after dithering for actually only about 5 minutes, go me; still developed partial Bad Headache while passing out circa 1700; upright again and tolerating medium light levels without sunglasses by 1945, where I think previously it has taken several hours more than that to get back to that stage
  
• earplugs were a good idea; eyemask now lives out on my side of the bed so it's easier to access; and I should go "fuckit" about Efficiency and Reuse and just buy an Expensive blackout blind for the bedroom that Just Works if I'm gonna keep doing this.
