A Migraine in NYC

...is flipping hard. Especially when you're out and about. Here's are some things I've been doing when I feel one coming on:

  • Get home or at least inside. Especially the way this summer's been going. Try to find a place with some decent A/C.
  • Water, water, water. We know this one should be a given, but it's not always easy or convenient to carry a bottle of water when hiking around the city. To top it off, it's hard to convince yourself to bring one along when it's often hard to find a public restroom when you need one. Nevertheless, suck it up and bring one along, or pick one up at the nearest hot dog cart or deli.
  • Use an MP3 player. This way, you can control what you're listening to and how loudly. It's easier to ignore the mobs around you if you're listening to something you enjoy.
  • Always carry your meds with you! Get a pill fob. They're small and hang nicely from your key ring, so you can keep a variety of meds on you with needing the space for all the bottles. Just be sure to fill it with what you need before you leave home.
There you have it. It's a small and simple list, but it's what's been keeping me going this summer, especially with attacks on the rise again.

What's your big city list?
