Is it common to have the most terrible migraine after the event? And if so, does it happen every time? The IBA should seriously consider handing out Excedrin with their business cards. Maybe a pamphlet of common side effects. Something more tangibly useful than their mission statement.

(( This is essentially the same network prompt as used on the TDM. Happy to transfer threads over or start fresh. ))

I haven't heard of anyone getting a migraine specifically from their memories. But sometimes things will bleed over from the memories.

I apologize if this is too personal a question, but could it be a by-product of the memory you received?

I do remember having a splitting headache, though mine didn't veer completely into migraine territory. I've heard peppermint oil does wonders for those, too, if you're looking for unsolicited advice.

Side effects may include unusual dreams, strong and unachievable ambitions, new and unusual behavior, mild disassociation, severe disassociation, and acquisition of strange objects. Stop interaction with other Different and seek immediate Bureau assistance if you obtain dangerous weapons or items, or experience significant changes to your biology. Ask the Bureau if being Different is right for you.

Not that they'd actually tell anyone yes, that is.

Headaches and, for me, the worst repeating nightmares and dreams. Those slacked off after the initial memory, but for a while I thought I might finally lose what was left of my sanity.
