Alice in Wonderland chances in body perception are all very well, but not if you are trying to drive and have the perception that you can't reach the pedals and wouldn't know what to do with them if you could!

BW - drinking dandelion tea to rehydrate? Not for nothing is it called 'Piss the bed'... a great diuretic if you want to detox, not much good for rehydration!

There are basically two types of migraine, those caused by constriction of the blood vessels to the brain - in which case, thinning of the blood or expansion of the blood vessels with caffeine works; or the opposite problem, where blood is rushing in too fast to provide enough oxygen. That's the one usually caused by intake of caffeine or tannins (coffee, chocolate, red wine) and I don't know how to fix it except by resting and denying stimuli.
