Migraine

Source

I have been having migraine attacks lately, specifically this week. Just a while ago, I drank 1 and a half tablets of Biogesic because the left part of my head is starting to act up again. I remember what my doctor said, migraines are like fire. You should put it out right away and not wait for it to be worse and uncontrollable. I hope it would not get any worse this time.

There are several factors that trigger it. Too much caffeine, stress, chocolates, bright light, noise, even heat. I am not a medical doctor, it's just what I have gathered from all the information I read since I have been suffering from this illness (if you may) since I was in grade 4 or grade 5. The biggest factor, I think, is stress.

A stressful environment, a mountain-load of paperworks and cadworks, and trying to finish everything before the deadlines are just some of the deadly combinations that sucks the life out of an ordinary employee like myself. Throw in some office jerk(s) in the mix and you'd not be surprised why the veins in my head want to burst and pop out.

Talking about noise, the sound of that almost-baritone chortle leaves a putrid taste in my mouth. For me, it registers like trying so hard to start up an old, worn-down automobile- dusty, rusty and just plain old dirty. Its as if my ears are begging to bleed every time I hear that annoying sound. My earphones are no match against that agonizing bellow.

There are several talks in the office about people calling it quits. Who could blame them? With the crappy salary, crappy treatment, and (some) crappy people in the business, I am amazed at why the hell on earth I am still in this crappy place?

I hope I can summon up the courage to tell my boss about my plans. In all fairness, she's the best one I had since I started in January 2012. Perhaps I could let that one time she ratted me out slip this time. Besides, she knows how to make up for her shortcomings.
