After a severe concussion nearly 50 years ago, I get
migraines nearly on a daily basis... especially after
spending a lot of time at the computer.

Try the "clear" blueblocker glasses when you have to spend
time staring at a screen. Since I've started using mine
from a couple months ago, my eyes are not as dry as they
would normally get, and I have my normal sleep pattern
back. I have read/heard that people who normally get
migraines at the computer get great relief when wearing the
glasses.

Never heard of them. Can you provide more info on them??

Hello Daryl,

After reviewing different brands and user comments, I decided to get
this one:

https://tinyurl.com/r57q3uc

Now I need another pair, because I am tired of trying to remember to
bring them with me to work and back.

I've been doing work on preparing a print and e-Edition
publication for the Arkansas State Square Dance Federation,
plus updating 2 websites. So, not only are my eyes tired,
but my back is killing me from spending too much time at the
computer.

Posture, posture, posture. Don't slouch. Hard to do when tired though.
At least you have a decent "computer" or modern office chair?

Migraines could also be triggered by certain foods. Try to avoid
processed foods with added sodium, nitrates or sugar for starters.

I've saved the file, and will check it later. Preparing for severe
weather tonight.

A wheel on the swivel chair broke, and I had to throw it out. I've got
a sturdy chair to sit in, but I have to move it between the BBS computer
and a laptop computer.

Considering I'm a microwave man (or eating out), the processed foods
are drowning in sodium. I think it's more a result of that severe
concussion nearly 50 years ago, 2 indirect lightning strikes, and when i
take a lot of pain pills.

There was a brief period when I stopped wearing them in the evenings, and
I ended up with restless sleep and feeling very tired the following day.

Then, I started to wear them consistently when I am working in front of
the computer in the evenings and when I am watching tv. I reverted to
better sleep immediately.

Preparing for severe weather tonight.

How did that go?

We've had quite a snow storm in the last couple days. Normally, I would
be at the shop open for business today for a few hours (Sunday, 12p-4p).
But last night delivered a rather large pile of snow here (central
Ontario). It's too much for my rather low-lying 4x4 to plow through to
get out. So.. I have to do some manual digging first. :(

Incorporating a better/healthier way of eating can make a big difference.

My story is a bit long to write here. But I primarily went to a plant-
based easting plan. I don't need any drugs to mask pains anymore.

Yesterday here in the mid Ohio Valley was cold and we even had flurries
for a several minutes.
But we managed to survive those, kept calm and carried on.

I have never understood 4x4's with low clearance. Or those monster
trucks with a low clearance.
Seems to me it would depend more on distance from the ground to the axle than the size of the vehicle. The higher the axle the higher the clearance.
But then I'm not an engineer so have no idea what I'm talking about. :)

The long drive to a location in northeast Arkansas the other night
really wore me out. I was going to go out today, as with the holiday,
there wouldn't be as many folks out at lunch. But, I was so tired, that
I just ate at home, and slept in.

Preparing for severe weather tonight.

How did that go?

There were at least a half dozen tornadoes...one was radar indicated
about 5 miles from me. These were what they call QLCS spinups. These
develop and dissipate rather quickly within the squall line of severe thunderstorms. A family in west Arkansas left their mobile home for
their storm shelter, and survived unharmed...unfortunately, their mobile
home was destroyed by the EF-2 tornado.

One doesn't have to shovel rain. <G> There hasn't been much winter
weather in Arkansas the last 2 winters, and the snow lovers are furious.

I have cut down in when I eat, and the amount that I eat. I just don't
have a huge appetite anymore. I am classifed as obese, and really need
to lose weight, but I think it always knows where I am.

Along that line, the weight scales in the medical clinics, etc. offend
me...I want them removed. <G>

If the pain is a 2 or less, I'll tough it out. Above that, it's time
to quit working on the computer, take an Ibuprofen (400 mg), and just
go to bed.

I'm more concerned that my posterior will make the computer chair than
to fall on the floor. :P

But, if I had eyes in my butt, I guess I'd have hindsight. <G>
