My brain hurts

Aug 12, 2004 13:47

I've got one of my no-good-very-bad-not-quite-a-migraine-cause-I-can-still-function-but-only-just-barely headaches. These are the worst kind, cause I still feel the need to leave the house and take care of my responsibilities, despite the fact that all I really want to do is curl up into a little ball, somewhere cool and dark.
It started last night, intensified during my mechanical difficulties, and made it very difficult to sleep, so I'm tired and in pain, it's a fantastic combo for dealing with idiots all day. I'm currently debating the relative merits of going home sick, and taking a nap, and some tylenol.
I'm inherently distrustful of, even over-the-counter, pain medication, it just doesn't seem right to me that you can take a little pill and feel better. I guess I have kinda hippie beliefs in this regard, but I feel like if you're in pain there's probably a reason for it, and treating the symptom may not be the best idea for all-over health (says the girl who lives predominately on a diet of ramen and taco-bell, [sure it's hypocritical, but you've gotta pick your battles, you know?]) mostly it probably all just boils down to laziness, going to the cabinet and grabbing some pills would be effort after all.

work, headaches
