migraines

For the past few years I have been the recipient of frequent migraines. Joy, joy. It's by far the most distracting thing in the world, and one of the most painful. I can feel the pain begin to creep up my neck and surround my skull. I have to thank my mother for two reasons on this subject. First, a sarcastic thanks because I inherited these migraines from her, but she makes up for it. Being a physical therapist, she knows the exact points to apply pressure in the back of my neck, bringing me the sweetest relief. The worst thing about these is they often come out of nowhere just as I am studying, the least convenient time. Like right now.
