Pen Posse, Migraine, Exercise
Jun. 21st, 2010 04:13 amWe had an awesome Pen Posse meeting on Saturday including a visit to a distillery, a visit to a wine maker, and an awesome dinner Posse member Ricky organized.

Unfortunately, the hard surfaces and the loud singing triggered a migraine. The first song was a bit painful in that space, the second I feared a migraine, the third triggered it halfway through and I ran out after it finished. This is the first time I've had one where I know I heard sound distortion that others didn't.
Worse, I was the designated driver. We made it home just fine, but it wasn't pleasant.
Sometimes, I'll bounce right out of parties, and others have thought me cold because of it. Truth is, I'm a bit crowd-phobic, and that can be part of it, but a bigger part is the fear of a migraine. I don't get them often, but the idea that I'm in a room where I can't easily evade a sound trigger before a migraine develops really frightens me.
Because of that, though, I really wasn't in any condition to exercise. Rick and I both collapsed; I had taken medication and slept for 15 hours, after which I assessed the remaining headache as about 80% tension, 20% migraine.
Did my walk tonight, finally, but it was only half my Sunday mileage.
I'm behind again. Oh well.
