kightp links to a post she made to alt.callahans about the wreck of the Edmund Fitzerald, which happened 30 years ago yesterday. Well worth reading, especially if you've ever heard The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, by Gordon Lightfoot.

Ok, today?

Equals extremely distractable me. Sheesh.

So, at the doctor's today, I learned a fascinating thing. Apparently, sometimes apparent sinus infections with no apparent cause are actually migraines.

Apparently, they've done a study where they put the appropriate instrument in someone's sinuses, and watched what happened with a migraine. They had all the symptoms of a sinus infection, with no infection, entirely (apparently) caused by the migraine, _and_ migraine meds made it (the symptoms, as well as the migraine) go away.

So now, I get to see what happens with migraine meds next time I have a random sinus infection ('cause migraines run in my family, I've had some, and I definitely have weird apparently sinus symptoms for no apparent reason).

*hunts for a link*

Ah! Here's one

I note that sinus meds _do_ sometimes help (and almost always more than regular pain meds do), but never fully solve the problem. So! Possible. Still getting checked for allergies, though, just in case.
