MOH - Medication-Overuse Headache - the very substance designed and prescribed to alleviate pain, if taken in a dose higher than what the manufacturer and the doctor recommended, acts as a migraine trigger!
There's migraines' aversion to extremes again. In this case, too much of a good thing is not...
I am risk-averse as much as possible. I also like to think that my lungs were designed to breathe in - ideally - a combination of oxygen and inert gases, some beneficial isotopes, and nothing else. Well, maybe a bit of perfume, a flower's aroma, some spices, fresh produce,...
