Good morning, Fajita-Fatwa, and Sven!
The thread-gif appears to be some sort of allegory. I’m sure its meaning will be lost on those to whom it most applies.
Sven -- your migraine article is behind a registration wall. My neighbor who had the weird neurological event got the final diagnosis for his bi-lateral stroke-like event: migraines. He’s only had two migraines in his life, but has suffered from low-level nagging pain for years. His neurologist put him on an extremely low dose of nortriptyline and after a few weeks, he’s pain free.
Remote Electric Stimulation May Ease Migraine Pain
A device that provides remote electrical stimulation via a discreet armband and smartphone application safely reduces pain in patients with migraine, results of a new trial suggests.
The findings suggest that eventually, “it may not be necessary to take drugs to abort a migraine attack,” lead author David Yarnitsky, MD, Rambam Healthcare Campus and Technion Faculty of Medicine, Haifa, Israel, told Medscape Medical News.
Happy Caturday, GN!
I get to go to Waddlemart this morning; hooray!

Thanks for the link, Sven. Interesting study with some interesting implications for pain management, in general.
I know X has problems with headaches and wanted to make sure it got out here in case she pops in.
Taking in Geoff Tate’s solo acoustic show tonight. At 58, still has a good voice.
