The Vise of Migraines

This guy has his head in the grips of a vise.

Yet it's, perhaps, not as bad as your typical horrible migraine. 

Actually, the pressure of a vise-like feeling may actually provide some sort of sick relief.   

Migraine headaches can be so incredibly debilitating. 

This guy looks like he needs to close the lights and lay down before his head pops! 

Consider taking some medication as per your doctor, ice packs also helpful, close your eyes, and say a prayer.  ;-)

Icing That Migraine

So a lot of people I know get excruciating migraines in the Washington, D.C. area. 

I don't know the statistical incident rate here for migraines, but anecdotally it seems significantly higher.

Is it the weather patterns, pollution, toxic chemicals or something else in this geographic area?

While medicine seems to be critical in actually getting rid of the migraine, I do notice that sustained use of ice packs or freezing water on the head also seems to help. 

Cold generally constricts the blood vessels, so I am not sure why this provides migraine relief.

Note: I am not giving medical advise or guidance to anyone, but just sharing my experiences. 

I would be interested to see a medical study done on treating migraines with freezing cold--from my experience, I think it definitely helps.  ;-)

Minions Help Me!

This was a funny picture I took in Washington, D.C. 

This women is sitting on the Metro. 


On her lap are two big bags.


One bag (a knapsack) has a Minion on the front. 


And on top of the Minion bag is her overfilled buldging handbag.


The Minion is slanted sideways with the heavy handbag on its head, practically squooshing his face.


From the likes of it, the Minion looks like he's got one big headache and wants out of there. 


His eyes pleading for a new owner to loyally serve or just to get that darn heavy handbag off its head. 


Feel better Minion...unfortunately, it's not your day.  ;-)
