Hammate logic and silliness - this time sugar causes migraines, except when it helps migraines Ok, you guys, since I live in this situation for the time being and it appears that hammate is going to continue to supply me with loads of stupidity to talk about I'll be posting them. If ya'll get tired of it, let me know, I'll just start my own little journal of my personal witness to obeastupidity.  Background info: I get menstrual migraines. I'm 43 years old. I've been getting them for at least 30 years. I know what triggers them, I know how to treat them.  So, that's out of the way. I had one this week. I did what I do and stayed in my dark room and prayed for sweet relief. Thankfully it only lasted 2 days. (they used to last 4 full days) So yesterday was the first full day migraine free. I had a great day yesterday and in the evening we were out by the pool just chilling and I had 2 vodka drinks. It was fruit punch with vodka, bam, nothing else. I got natural fruit juice fruit punch rather than Hawaiian punch koolaid junk. Well, the alcohol triggered the migraine to return. Bad move on my part. So, anyway, I leave the gathering early and go up to our place to lay down so it won't get worse.  Hammate comes in, I tell her I messed up and drank that alcohol and now the migraine is back. Her "plus you know all that sugar..." Me "I got natural fruit juice I doubt it was that high in sugar and besides what does sugar have to do with my migraine?  It was the alcohol." Her: well sugar gives me headaches that's why I said that.  Me: Then you should be having migraines every damn day, right?   This thing then goes to check how many grams of sugar are in a serving of the fucking fruit juice I bought. 25 g per serving. As opposed to what I think was 150g in her regular pepsi. The kicker here is that her headache resolver is to take excedrin and drink pepsi. Both of those together cure her headaches.  So there ya have it folks, sugar causes migraines, except when it doesn't.  Bonus story: The area we live in is flat land. I mean really flat. Before my brain injury I was a mountain biker. I've biked one of the hardest mountain trails in my state. You guys that do this know how grueling it is. Street biking in no way compares to mountain biking unless you're in a relatively hilly area. Anyway, I haven't biked in a few years now and I've been looking forward to getting back on the bike since I moved here. Hammate would get out on hers and be gone for like 20 minutes or so...no idea how far she went but she would always talk about this hill she had to climb to get back home. I was confused and said, um, it's flat here. She assured me no, there's hills.   So, I just went out on my first long bike ride since I've been here. Went about 10 miles. What I determined is that an incline is a hill in hammates eyes. And that burn you feel in your quads, that's about the point she decides to head back home.
