Blah

So I woke up with a headache, and after 2 doses of pain reliever, it's still there. So, I'm thinking it's another migraine, but the pain isn't as bad as I know it could be. I have to think it is sugar induced. Yesterday I was just totally focused on sugar -- it was such a craving. It started the day before, and I kept trying to make it go away. Yesterday I tried to talk myself out of it, but couldn't. Since we don't have enough sugar in the house, I finally ran to the grocery for my fix. Then I finished it off with a really sweet orange soda -- that we did have but I never drink those. Then last night I could feel the headache coming, and woke up with it. It feels a lot like a hangover, but already I can see that it's not going away. I wonder if knowing what the sugar does will help me the next time I must have it. I even tried sniffing peppermint oil, which is supposed to help. Oh well -- I don't get a craving like that very often. I've kind of felt that you just have to feed it and move on. But, what causes these? It seems very chemical, rather than emotional. I was like a junkie. I wonder what I could have eaten for the last 2 days that might have helped...like, only protein?

My big summer migraine started after a vacation that included eating too much, more carbs, etc. So, it does make sense that at least for me, they're food induced. I hope this one doesn't last as long as the last one. Maybe I can start to really associate sugar with feeling bad?

Enough about the Claudia/Carb saga. I'm moving slowly, but plan to take more meds and then head off to the AI office to meet with a woman who was a professor in Indonesia with both Filep and Yusak. We've felt that as part of our effort to publicize the case we need to know more about them as people -- so I'm hoping she can help us with that.
