First, you wake up and you think, “Wow. Slept tense again. Killer tension headache.” So you take some Tylenol. (Not really. I call anything I can buy in the pain relief section of Duane Reade Tylenol. I think this was actually the Walgreens’ version of Aleeve.)
Then, it’s a few hours later and your head still hurts. Is this my allergies? Did I forget to take allergy medication today? So you check how many pills are left in the allergy medication.
Finally, you get dressed to go outside and all the sound hurts. And you think about vomiting all over the sidewalk. That’s when you realize that you probably have a migraine.
