Attack of the Killer Migraine

Yeah... massive attack of the Migraine... much like... Mars Attack! (which by the way, is one of my all time favourite B-grade movie)

Possible Causes:

1. Hormones Related? Yes, Synco.. I had really wanted to go to the CY Bookfair to look out for Fullmetal Alchemist title and to have dinner with you.. except, my "first day" came on the Saturday and it was one of the bad months where I was just curled up in bed, ready to die... from cramps and from severe backaches.
2. Weather Related? Could be the shit weather these days... causing pressure inbalance? That is my personal theory, since my migraine hits quite hard after a spate of hot/wet/hot/wet weather.
3. Stress Related? My neck and shoulder muscles have been extremely tensed, probably due to work and lack of exercise (well, going for classes only once a week falls into the category of lack of exercise) is causing my body to slowly fall into the valley of aches and pain

Well, the three above are very possible reasons. So now that I have just popped in a few pills that have miraculously achieved better effects than panadol can... I am suddenly a little high from the lack of pain... well.. technically, I can still feel the slight pounding of the headache, it's a little like having placed them behind bars and you can still feel the prisoner wailing, but there are walls that they cannot get past... well, at least until 4 hours later. But no sudden movement... if not, they will be released for a moment.

I wonder how other migraine sufferers feel? Are the symptoms about the same? I have this bad habit where in my bid to reduce reliance on any painkillers, I would try to bear with it until I can barely blink without it feeling like sledgehammers... then I will take panadol, and if it still doesn't go away by the time I wake up the next morning, it's an MC day. Cuz I am pretty much useless at this stage. Not sure if that's the best way to go...
