When last posting, I was in the middle of working on the next issue of Among Worlds magazine, helping to care for my mom (who had been through some major trauma of her own with her heart overbeating), doing the usual house-maintenance, being a full-time mom to a teenager, etc., etc.
After I sent in the completed works of the magazine this morning, I felt elated that all was now well. That lasted for about 10 minutes, and then it was on to other work (the next 2 issue of the magazine, calling or emailing folks about their subscriptions, taking calls, etc.). About 2:00 this afternoon I suddenly felt dizzy - and then, BAM - a migraine!
Now...it's been while since I have had one of those nasty head-busting, brain-hurting head-aches! So this one caught me unprepared.
Yet...I should have anticipated that my body would respond in this manner...after all, stress usually creates physical (and mental) problems. It is usually after the stressful time that we suffer some kind of retaliation from our bodies.
So...any ideas on how to be better prepared? [and yes, I am feeling much better now - thanks for asking :-)]

I'm not into prevention. I take two Advil, one decongestant (because my headaches are usually sinus related) a double expresso and occasionally a candy bar on top of that. But then, I grew up in Brasil and Brasilians tend to solve everything with "cafezinho."
