Migraines

I had a terrible migraine last week~~the first one for 2012.  I was sick for three days straight.  I always feel like I want to die when I have migraines.  Nothing really helps me.  I feel utterly hopeless, and everything is painful.  I shouldn't complain; I know there are others who live with constant unbearable pain.  At least I know the migraine will dissipate eventually.

I always try to drink lots of water when I am having a migraine.  I heard somewhere that it helps, and sometimes it does.  Of course, proper hydration is important for our bodies in general.

I came across an article that discusses how dehydration can impact our moods and energy levels:

I have heard so many different opinions about drinking water.  Some say we should drink 8-8oz glasses a day; others say we don't have to drink that much.  I guess if drinking water can improve my mood and energy level, I am definitely willing to keep track of my consumption.
