The weekend was a bit of a loss. I had social plans for Saturday night, but another of the OH MY G-D please can I have a short coma happened, complete with aura, flashing lights, vertigo, and nausea. This makes the 2nd one in a week, which is new. I really, really don't want to start taking the Topamax twice a day, because the possible short and long-term memory side effects freak me the hell out. After some research, I figured out why my neurologist doesn't want me to try Imitrex as an interrupt med: it can have a MAJOR interaction with my daily Escitalopram. So right now, all I can do if I get one of the death migraines is to have a LOT of electrolytes, take Benadryl, and pass out on the couch.
All this meant that Sunday was full of brain fog. I struggled past it to knock at least one writing-related thing off my to do list, but damn, I have never worked harder to write 800 words in my LIFE. And then I spent the evening doing hand sewing for my Vampire Ball outfit.

I am starting to wonder if the upswing in death migraines is due to Yet Another Sensitivity. Did you know that if you're sensitive to gluten, you can develop a sensitivity to corn? And reactions can include brain fog, joint pain, fatigue, and migraines? Guess who indulged in some tasty corn mesa treats two weeks in a row? Oh, and it turns out the 0 carb sweetener I use is fermented from corn. >.<
So I'm doing an elimination test, and in two weeks time I'll have another couple of pupusas, and see if it triggers anything. I am less than thrilled about this.

Today! Go over the Stroppy One's feedback on my descriptions for my Patreon levels. Set up the ringlight and camera and film a few test videos. More sewing. Maybe laundry. Definitely dither more about my outfits for Sakuracon.

(I have a few issues with GMO food myself....)
I've had migraines from erythritol and other sugar alcohols. Didn't clue into that for almost a MONTH until I got up and skipped morning tea for a few hours because I was extra derpy. When I finally made tea (using a sugar alcohol sweetener), the migraine settled in a half-hour later.
