Whatever. I had such a strong pang of sympathy on that line that you made me want to weep for a second too. I guess that same reader didn't give you the ol' TMI when you mourned your loss of memory from ECT, or were horrified to realize the violence of the treatment. Or when you let your readers inside your head when your meds have failed or worked. You probably shattered someone’s myth…girls have bodily functions, even the non-pretty ones, too. Whatever.

I dunno. In the past, I’ve had roommates that frequently got migraines and I always did my best to accommodate them. Still, I’ve never had a migraine so it was always difficult to comprehend how much worse a migraine is than a really bad headache. I mean, with a headache nobody’s really a big fan of light and sound, right? Maybe you grossed out a few of the fainthearted ones but you also made some people waaaaay more sympathetic.
