I have had countless migraines at Target for similar reasons! But Lynda Barry is something to buy even when you're not confused. I adore her. My first experience with her work was on trip for my college graduation in 1985 in Seattle. A store had a poster of hers: "Poodle with a Mohawk." It said, "You'll never call her FiFi again!" I should have bought it, as it's always stuck in my mind.
How old are you, Bookie?
I am currently suffering from a different kind of migraine that causes dizziness. I was on CCBs for a while, but they didn't help. I have head this ceaseless, vague dizziness for over a year! I am about ready to ask for another MRI, since the one I had was before the dizziness and after a series of about three migraines in a week.
Right now, I am very dizzy. I know I am getting my period, and it's always worse just before that and ovulation. But I hardly have any balanced days! I have hit my head (my eye, actually) on three pieces of furniture (yesterday), and I walk into the door frames all the time. I am a giant bruise.
I don't think migraine triggers, for me, have anything to do with anything but hormones. The bright lights migraines, for example, could happen every day, but they only happen when I'm ovulating or about to get my period. Further proof: the last four migraines I've had I've gotten in my sleep! It's not exactly a time of noise, lights, smells, or food!
Enjoy your book. Sorry about your head.
