This is a bit of a venting post, but since I've been here my migraines have multiplied by like a billion. I don't know what the hell is going on, but whereas I usually get 1 a month, or maybe every 2 months, since I have been here I've gotten them weekly and it is making me miserable. The worst part is that I have no idea why and I'm having a really hard time tracking down what is triggering them. If you google "migraine triggers" you'll get lists of everyday things that are impossible to avoid: foods, drinks, changes in weather, sunlight, noise, air pollution, allergies, artificial sweeteners, storms, caffeine, dehydration...you name it. Some of these are avoidable; for instance, I know when not to drink alcohol because it will probably trigger a migraine the next day. I know to drink a lot of water and not so much Diet Coke. But how do I avoid sunlight?! And why do they seem to be so much worse and more frequent in Argentina than at home? At first I thought it was just the change in environment, but I've been here a good while now. Maybe it's the air? There are studies that link air pollution with migraines and there is definitely plenty of that here. GAH I am so sick of feeling awful all of the time. AND I didn't bring enough of my migraine medicine to last me the whole time I'm here, at the rate I'm using it now. I'll probably call a doctor here and see what I can get.

SUPER FRUSTRATED AND FEELING LIKE SHIT, AGAIN.
