Bored

You know people I just had the most ridiculous argument with my boyfriend today morning.




Sometimes he is such a pain in the neck I really feel like chopping his balls off.




But most of the time he makes me feel so happy and loved so for that I shall forgive him. Hehe. Right now this idiot went for a 3 day camp in Ngee Ann Poly so 3 days for myself. Yay.






I had a really bad throbbing headache yesterday night. How on earth does headaches occur. The damn throb just doesn't seem to stop throbbing. And mine was so bad till I feel like puking even when I'm lying down.






So as usual when in doubt, go to the net. 



I found mine,

Typical causes

The most common types of headache are the "primary headache disorders", such tension-type headache and migraine. They have typical features; migraine, for example, tends to be pulsating in character, affecting one side of the head, associated with nausea, disabling in severity, and usually lasts between 3 hours and 3 days. Rarer primary headache disorders are trigeminal neuralgia (a shooting face pain), cluster headache (severe pains that occur together in bouts), and hemicrania continua (a continuous headache on one side of the head).[9]


And this explains the causes of headaches

Pathophysiology

The brain in itself is not sensitive to pain, because it lacks pain receptors. However, several areas of the head and neck do have nociceptors, and can thus sense pain. These include the extracranial arteries, large veins, cranial and spinal nerves, head and neck muscles and the meninges.[10]
Headache often results from traction to or irritation of the meninges and blood vessels. The nociceptors may also be stimulated by other factors than head trauma or tumors and cause headaches. Some of these include stress, dilated blood vessels and muscular tension. Once stimulated, a nociceptor sends a message up the length of the nerve fiber to the nerve cells in the brain, signaling that a part of the body hurts. [11]
It has been suggested that the level of endorphins in one's body may have a great impact on how people feel headaches. Thus, it is believed that people who suffer from chronic headaches or severe headaches have lower levels of endorphins compared to people who do not complain of headaches.
Primary headaches are even more difficult to understand than secondary headaches. Although the pathophysiology of migraines, cluster headaches and tension headaches is still not well understood, there have been different theories over the time which attempt to provide an explanation of what exactly happens within the brain when individuals suffer from headaches. One of the oldest such theories is referred to as the vascular theory which was developed in the middle of the 20th century. The vascular theory was proposed by Wolff and it described the intracranial vasoconstriction as being responsible for the aura of the migraine. The headache was believed to result from the subsequent rebound of the dilatation of the blood vessels which led to the activation of the perivascular nociceptive nerves. The developers of this theory took into consideration the changes that occur within the blood vessels outside the cranium when a migraine attack occurs and other data that was available at that time including the effect of vasodilators and vasoconstrictors on headaches.
The neurovascular approach towards primary headaches is accepted by most specialists nowadays. According to this newer theory, migraines are triggered by a complex series of neural and vascular events. Different studies concluded that individuals who suffer from migraines but not from headache have a state of neuronal hyperexcitability in the cerebral cortex, especially in the occipital cortex.[12] People who are more susceptible to experience migraines without headache are those who have a family history of migraines, women, and women who are experiencing hormonal changes or are taking birth control pills or are prescribed hormone replacement therapy[13]


Sorry for all the wordy wordy and scientific posts. But basically what I can conclude is that the brain area has no pain receptors and its due to some vasoconstriction and dilation of the blood vessels around that causes migraine or headaches.



Hmm I still think the best cure is to eat this...


Nothing works better for me than Panadol extra. Omg even with this super strong panadol my migraine only subsided after like 4 hours . 





Had been having headaches and blah since I was young and the problem died down ever since I ate TCM medicine. It tastes like shit but it works.





I remember gulping down that whole chunk of shit its so black and yucky








Okay moving on, I was watching my youtube subscriptions today. And found 2 very interesting ones. So i'll share it with all of you




By Andreas Choice.


Really love their eyes. So easy to create looks unlike asian eyes. So irritating to the max.



Next up is Michelle Phan. I tried to recreate the looks by using stuff I have at home.


Obviously it was a big fail. HAHAH I think that my face is not suited for smokey looks. Seriously :( I hate my eyes.



Now you know why I hate my eyes. My right eye have an uneven eyelid fold that makes applying of eyeliner super irritating.




Well but anyway I think the overall look looks nice when I took it with webcam :)


Wah lao I am very fat. 46kg


Never go to the gym today because Bev out of CASH :(
