Barometric Brain

 I suffer from migraines, trigged by a couple of things, but as a storm came in yesterday, I was painfully reminded of my sensitivity to barometric pressure.  I know I exacerbated the migraine with my living room cleaning (allergy to dust mites), but the onset of the pain was ferocious and sudden, sending me to bed with painkillers.  I fell into a fitful sleep where I dreamed of having a headache and needing to lie down.  Dreams of being in a snow storm with risks of avalanches burying me where I was cowering with my headache were followed by me going from bed to bed in strange houses, seeking rest and relief.

I woke with the headache about an hour and a half later, long after the meds should have done something.  Then, about 20 minutes later, the storm finally broke and the headache dissipated.

* The avalanche fears were probably brought on by nearvy construction work and noisy neighbors, which made me think of the several buildings that have collapsed recently in Lebanon.
