Stress, Relax, Migraine

I was 21, in my 1st apt in Ft Lauderdale. My neighbor’s friend was flying in from Massachusetts and I told her I d make dinner since she only had an efficiency apt. I made a homemade quiche Lorraine, a salad with a fresh herb dressing and had a bottle of white wine chilling in the refrigerator. Everything was perfect.

by the time they arrived, I had a headache so bad, I told them to go ahead and eat, grabbed an afghan off of the loveseat and curled up in a fetal position on the floor.

Fortunately (for me) her friend had a tooth pulled 3 days before and still had pain meds left. I only took half of one since I didn’t know how I d react to it. I d probably still be laying on the floor 40+years without that 1/2 pill

I’ve noticed that I can handle stressful situations fine, but once the crisis is over and I start to relax, the migraine will hit.
