It can be.  I learned, somewhere along the line, to just keep going
anyway with the migraines... probably part of the body taking over to
raise the pain threshold too high... compensating not wisely but quite
well...  overtired may have triggered the dizzies for me, though, at
least some of the time...

 JK> It's a pretty harmless drug. It's more like an antihistimine than
 JK> anything else :)

Not much of a comfort to me, since antihistimines and common pain
relievers like aspirin, NSAIDS in general and tylenol etc don't work
well for me if at all, and generally cause problems... ;0

 JK> ==Almond Olive Oil Cake with Brown Butter Glaze (adapted slightly from
 JK> Gina DePalma)==

 JK> 1 cup all-purpose flour
 JK> 1/2 cup almond flour or meal

I see that wouldn't work for someone with major gluten problems,
though...  But I bet it tasted quite nice... ;)
