Paradoxical

There are many things that are paradoxical about migraines; School teachers commonly have migraines at week ends, others have migraines following the completion of demanding projects, or work periods. This fits the notion that migraine sufferers are their own worst enemies in the sense that they are often hard taskmasters who set themselves higher standards and then beat themselves up when they fail. The other side of the coin of course, is that this is not a defined medical condition and that it is a mindset or a way of thinking.
