How is everybody doing? Hydrating well? Or are we pissing yellow dust?
As a chronic headache and migraine sufferer, those people who say “you’re just dehydrated!” really grind my gears. Maybe it’s sometimes true for some people, but lots of things cause headache. Strong smells, loud noises, bright light, stress, depression, you name it.
It’s significantly worse than when they offer weird solutions they found on Facebook, like putting your hand in ice water, or pressing pressure points or whatever nonsense, because it’s so intensely basic.. At least the weird shit has novelty going for it.
I drink an absolute fuckton of water (typically at least 3 24oz bottles daily, more if it’s hot or I’m doing effort stuff) because I’ve internalized that ableist shit that maybe it just fucking is dehydration (it isn’t, and I know this).
All that said, stay hydrated friends! It’s not a cure, but it may help prevent lots of shit!
