Part 5 - She gets migraines!

I'll start this post off by thanking my dad for his wonderful genetics - giving me the world's worst headaches. If you don't know what a migraine is...Google it (nah, I kid! I can tell you better than that stinky thing we call the Internet)! A migraine is, as I implied, a really bad headache that is different in severity for everyone who may get one. Everyone who has migraines, however, shares a few common traits - they may have a specific trigger that causes it, there are different, but highly effective cures for each patient, and each person has their own unique symptoms right before the disaster strikes. I'll go over my steps:

1. I get migraines mostly when I'm super stressed and have a lot on my mind. I mostly got them in school and when I was searching for an important job while working full-time somewhere else.
2. I see spots. Have you ever closed your eyes after staring at a light for too long (why were you doing that you silly child)? That's kind of what it looks like!
3. I get a slight headache in the middle of my forehead. It's a super weird spot, but apparently migraines are frequent to start here.
4. I get dizzy and when I focus on one spot, the rest of the world around me looks blurry. This is always my main indicator that makes me 80-100% sure I'm about to get a migraine.
5. I keep my medicine by my bed, in my purse, and in my car. I have to take two of these little white pills. One I take right when the migraine is about to hit, and one when it does hit. Trust me, you can tell when these places occur in your head. If I didn't have this medicine...I would be making lots of hospital trips.

My most recent hospital visit was because I took my medicine too late. Or, was it that it didn't quite work well enough for me? I don't really remember. But, migraines are very, very bad. At least for me. Luckily, I haven't had one in a long while (am I staying more positive? Happier? Less stressed? It's definitely not 'I'm keeping away from bright lights' because I play video games almost 'round the clock). I had a friend in high school that had to get an operation on her last year because her migraines were SO bad. I hope mine never haunt me like that.

If you think you may be suffering from migraines, even just an occasional one, go see your doctor. Trust me, having the medicine (or whatever cure you may find) helps out SO much. SO SO much. I can't imagine not having my meds now. Also, as I mentioned in my first sentence of this post, migraines are genetic. So, if your family line doesn't have them - lucky you! Have fun with your red freckles and your slow-growing fingernails though (I kid...and if that's all that's wrong with you then give yourself a pat on the back...if your genetics allow you to reach all the way behind you)!

Love,
glimmer

g1immer's Super Duper Analysis on "Is it Worth it?" Collection series Part 5: Crate Crash - Coasters For Part 5, we take a look at the $10 three pack of Crate coasters included in the Crash Crate. As you can see from the above image, the coasters are bright colors and stand out, especially on my black coffee table. They are also very big and could easily hold a large McDonald's cup. I will talk more in-depth about the size late. You know the drill, I will also conclude today's post explaining if I think they are worth the price point listed on the packaging strip done by numskull's marketing team no doubtingly.  Let's talk about the material these three coasters are made of. As soon as you touch one, you will know exactly what what the material is - it is rubber! Sorry, I guess you can't touch them if you haven't gotten your hands on a Crash Crate yet. The rubber is flexible and sticks nicely to firm surfaces. I've never had a c...

glimmer's Super Duper Analysis on "Is it Worth it?" Collection series Part 1: Crash Crate - Box Today we will be discussing the Crash Bandicoot Loot Box from numskull and Activision, known as the "Crash Crate". In articular, we are looking at the box itself. After all, all the goodies had to come in something fun and Crash Bandicoot-related, right? As you can see from the above image, the crate fits all of the items inside perfectly. When first opened, the mug was wrapped in bubble wrap. The piece of thick paper with a jungle image was combined with the Crash bottle opener, wrapped in a thin layer of plastic. Besides the missing plastic and bubble wrap, the above image does a good job of showing you all what it looked like when first opening the box. Now, let's talk about the design (my favorite part of the discussion). I pulled the above image off the fan-made Crash Bandicoot Wiki,  Bandipedia . God, you gotta love the names of these wikipe...

Today's Discussion is on...My Favorite and Least Favorite Pokemon! Part 4 - Least Favorite Pokemon Cont. Gah! I'm so sorry! I said in my last post that I would post yesterday, but then I didn't! Sorry! Sorry! I had a headache yesterday and took off work. It was one of those days where I thought I had a migraine but didn't - anyways, back to Pokemon I dislike! We are on number four! This spot goes to the one and only - Castform. You may be thinking, "but Castform is so cute and changes into different types depending on the weather in-game, that's kind of cool," and I guess I can agree with that, but I can't unsee it for what it is. A crappy Pokemon. It's just no good to use in competitive scenes. It also doesn't help that once when my little sister and I were young, stupid children, we drew arms and a torso on it so its little lumps looked like its boobs. In permanent ink. On our Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire guidebook. Sorry, I just can...
