Eye Migraines Suck
June 5, 2008 – 8:40 pmI'm not normally afflicted with migraines. That's why when I got one at work earlier this week, accompanied by strobing glare encroaching from the periphery of my vision, I thought it was eye strain. I'd been sitting in an office with overhead fluorescents on a dimmer switch that had been turned down, and the only other times this happened (like 5+ years ago) I was in the exact same situation. But I went to an opthamologist today who ruled it an "Opthalmic Migraine" (despite the fact that the overhead fluorescent lights in her waiting room were causing me discomfort and to see glare spots and I had to look out the window).
Anyhow, that's why I ran a sub-standard post on Wednesday (just pushed out one I'd written but had been holding off because I felt it needed more oomph), why this is today's post, and why I'm going to take a week off to give my eyes a little bit of a rest. I still have to work and tend to the "money-makers," but my eyes still don't feel 100%, so I'm having to cut time in front of the screen where I can.
Hopefully that won't stifle the momentum I've been building, and I promise I'll be back with a new post on June 16th.
