migraines

i originally posted this in our barkada's e-group last year... the migraines are back so here goes...

i've just had the worst headache of my life tonight.

it was a sneaky one, which slipped from behind my eye and spread to
the back of my head. i felt nauseous and i saw black spots dancing
in front of me. i wanted to puke.

i think my eyes are failing me already.

as it is, i can't recognize people from ten feet away (so if ever i
pass you by and don't give you a moment's notice, pls understand
that i'm already optically challenged). i can't read the words on
billboards and signages unless they're really, really big (or maybe
i just can't read in the first place?). i squint to make images
sharper, and i widen my peepers to see colors better.

i stopped wearing my glasses for about a year now because i hated
them.

i don't want to wear contacts because they're too messy and i don't
want to poke my eye out just putting it on.

so i try and bear the discomfort and the inconvenience.

i remember i used to have 20/20 vision.

but i guess if you've abused your eyes with your habits -- reading
in the dark, sitting in front of the computer for hours, watching tv
till your eyes hurt and your brain turns to mush -- then you're in
no place to complain right?

so let the headaches come and the black spots dance...

good(?)luck to me...
