suddenly i realised
todae is like the last day of october..
at this timenext month. i'll be FREE
YET
the pressing issue is that
i have 12 more days before my first paper.
ok to be exact. i have to exclude the dae i take my paper.
so in other words
i have a pathetically short span of 12 days to prepare for my papers!
n
there are like mountains of readings
n.. no
im not making a moutain out of a molehill
i seriously have tons of readings to do
to absorb
to understand
but..
somehow.. the more i read.. ( minus the manifold of times i fell aslp like a pig.. like erm.. LAST NITE!)
e readings seem to be more intriguing n interesting.. n it is sort of waking me up to a world that i have not been exposed to!
so coool rite
i nv knew about the numerous controversies happenin ard the world
i nv found a need to understand wad was happening in spore n the structure of the spore gov
i nv knew the unlying reasons for the policies that the govn has implemented
but now i know. why i tink soci is tons more fun and exciting compared to engine.
mayb itz cos im biased to maths n phys, but i simply prefer writing words n ideas den to stress myself out by solcving an integration problem..
furthermore.. like the integration problem will even affect me in aniwae.. like how.. help me integrate into the society ar..
ok..
crap..
im not gg to let my lovely everyday blog entry be infested with soci stuffs.. cos i have another blog just for all that.. haha!
but .. like wad beaven saez..

so . itz time to stop being so politically apathetic .. n to start to be more engaged in worldly issues and state affairs etc.. lalalaa
inflation.. affects me
govn policies.. out-of-bound markers affects me.. in the way i blog.. etc
ok..
ya.
soci IS interesting after all!
hahahA!!!
im just being retarded.. cos i just read 4 readings todae n im so damn proud of myself.
lalalalalala
the end!



Those suffering from migraine headaches realize how pain can affect their daily lives and sometimes incapacitate them, but what some sufferers do not realize is that there are signs to watch for and risk factors to know that can predispose a person to experiencing migraines. Much research has been done, and doctors have concluded that there are several risk factors regarding migraines. A risk factor is something that can increase the likelihood that you will get a disease or suffer from a condition. The more risk factors you have, the more likely you are to suffer from the stated disease or condition. Known risk factors for migraines include, but are not limited to the following:

Medications-The use of certain medications can actually cause a migraine to occur. These medications include headache remedies used on a daily basis, hormone replacement therapy or birth control pills and drugs that are used to dilate the blood vessels.

Lifestyle factors-These are factors that you have the ability to change. Some factors that put you at risk of suffering a migraine are stress, lack of sleep, excessive exercise, skipping meals, consumption of alcohol and consuming foods with a high level of monosodium glutamate, also known as MSG.

Gender-Females suffer more often from migraines than do males. There is believed to a link between female hormones and the incidence of migraines.

Age-The majority of migraine sufferers are considered young.
Genetic Factors-An inherited problem in blood vessel regulation has led many to believe that migraines are caused from a problem with a persons DNA. Thus, migraines tend to run in families.

Other-There are other factors that can trigger a migraine, as well as put you at risk for experiencing one. Some of these factors are glaring lights, perfumes or other very strong scents, fatigue, menstruation and changes in weather, altitude or time zone


However, recent research has shown that the cause of migraines may be due to a central nervous disorder. The trigeminal pathway, which is a nerve pathway that stretches from the brain stem to the head and face, experiences nerve cell changes which in turn release certain chemicals that dilate blood vessels and result in a migraine. Researchers have also uncovered numerous other factors that may play a part on causing migraines.
These include:

Magnesium levels-When magnesium levels are reduces, this causes nerves within the brain to misfire, which can result in visual changes and a migraine.
Hypotension-Some recent studies have suggested that a sudden drop in blood pressure may be the cause of migraines.
Female hormones-Estrogen and progesterone are known to play a role in migraines. It is not the presence of these hormones, but rather the fluctuation of their levels that may contribute to experiencing a migraine.


When over excitation of the nerves occurs, conditions in the brain are altered and a migraine can result. There are known triggers that can cause migraines, and these include the following:

Abrupt weather changes
Bright, flickering or glaring lights
Intense physical exertion
Emotional stress
Changes in sleep patterns
High altitude
Motion caused by travel
Low blood sugar


There are also over 100 foods that contain certain chemicals that are known to be migraine triggers. These chemical triggers are tannin, sulfites, monosodium glutamate, tyramine and phenylethylamine. Foods containing these chemicals include:

Chocolate
Dried fruits
Tea
Red wine
Coffee
Apple juice
Pickles
Olives
Cheese
Processed meat
Peas
Sauerkraut
Chinese food prepared in restaurants

maybe cos im a female.. maybe because im taking medication.. maybe cos i drink too much tea! or becos i lack magnesium.. maybe im emotionally stressed.. or perhaps the weather is changing abruptly!
