Pursuit of Knowledge and Migraines


Funny thing is, I didn’t know that the conditions that I had were migraines, until I pursuited the knowledge in the midst of a crisis. More people did, as I saw, in the YT comment sections of a few videos that I had searched on the topic.

One comment stated:

Hey, who else is searching for information while in the midst of a migraine crisis?

Funny, though, I thought I was the only one. Guess I wasn’t, then. So, it is true, more people were indeed looking for info, and only then when I heard of the doctor telling the telltale signs of what composes a migraine and what could be its triggers I thought “holy sh*t, I fit most of it”. So then, by a sheer struck of youtube search, I discovered that actually what I had from time to time wasn’t just only a minor headache, but actually a full blown throbbing migraine, to the point of ad nauseaum.

A few times prior I discovered that it seemed to be linked with my liver, so I could foresee that, when I ingested more fatty foods of sorts, after my 30 years on this earth, my liver got a little bit icky, and then probably started complaining to my other organs that it was too much to process, and so then migraines started happening.

Bad liver. Bad me. I’m not an alcohol drinker you know, it’s been years since I last drank alcohol, but I guess my liver is indeed a little more sensitive to certain types of food that now which I am not a young lad anymore, I have to really be careful or else I’ll trigger a night-a-wasp-not-so-very-much-comfortable-neither-productive-time-of-the-day, from every few weeks.

But I found it interesting that I got a quick glimpse that other people which also suffered from this condition ought to look for help and know a little bit more about it, when they get sick. It seems, thought, that truly indeed the pursuit of knowledge is ingrained by the pulses of discomfort we do feel in life.

Sometimes, though, these pulses of pain and discomfort are a little but more acute and accentuated, but nonetheless, they do prompt us to seek new forms of knowledge, like better treatment, or connecting with other people with similar experiences, or even getting a better grasp on which might be our own self limits, which might be dangerous to trespass (for our own safety and wellbeing).

I do not wish upon anyone to have the bouts of migraines that sometimes afflict me, and you do please yourself a favour and get some drinks of water on yourself, will ya?

Stay hydrated folks!
