Things I Just Did to Stave Off a Migraine

1. Drank a double almond milk latte. It's the first double coffee drink I've ever had. I've had less than 15 coffee drinks in my entire life.
2. Poked about 30 holes in my scalp with a lancet.
3. Sipped ice water and let it hang out in my mouth so that it would freeze my gums.

All of these things make your blood vessels constrict. Vasoconstriction means that the vessels don't press on the surrounding tissues, which is what makes your head hurt.

4. Laid in my bed in my underwear in front of the fan. (That's just something I enjoy doing on these hot days.)

So far, so good!
I'm trying not to take medicine!!!
