A pounding headache made me switch up my binding station lights

I always skimped on proper lighting to keep costs down. That awful migraine proved bright lamps are worth it for clear vision and steady hands.

Yeah, that migraine tax is brutal.

Disagree, everyone deals with extra costs for their own health stuff. Calling it a tax just makes normal life sound like some special punishment. It's just part of dealing with a body, same as buying glasses or allergy pills.

Last year, my friend spent over $500 on migraine meds alone. When @elliot_bailey mentioned the migraine tax, it made me see how these are regular costs, not just random buys. Things like glasses are every few years, but migraine stuff hits your wallet every single month. That steady drain is why it feels like a tax, you can't opt out.

Ugh, but isn't everything a tax then? Coffee, gas, your streaming subscriptions. It's just stuff you buy because you need or want it.
