ohhhhh the paaaaaiiiin
I am caffeinated.
The left side of my head has been screaming.
Pain came on around the middle of the morning yesterday. I switched hours with Khanh and so I think I let my blood sugar get too low (slept later)... well, eating breakfast and then lunch seemed to help... temporarily. By the time I was leaving for work the headache was coming and going at a mild pain level. I was mostly ok through the beginning of the shift... then it got worse... then dinner came and it got worse some more... I was moaning by the end of the shift. I left 15 mins early. I actually did take an Axert a little before dinner... seems it had no effect. Fabulous.
So at 3:30 this morning, I wake up to pretty intense pain on the left side of the head. Last night it had kinda moved around, seeming to favor hanging out behind my left eye, above my left eyebrow, jumping to the back of my head, and stretching in an arc over the top of the left side. (seems it was having fun) But then this morning... it was tight in the left side pretty close to the classic migraine location. Ugh. So I tossed and turned for 1.5 hours, then at 5am took my temperature, then took 2 Excedrin Migraine. This fixed the pain. It also caffeinated me. I got home at about 11:40 last night, went straight to bed, woke up at 3:30 with the headache, tossed around, took Excedrin... so I've been wide awake since then. Yes, it's wonderful that the pain is gone, but as the pain left I felt myself becoming stubbornly awake.
I'll probably crash around noon!
Oh yeah I threw up last night too. I threw up the peanut butter that I had had for lunch nearly 12 hours earlier! Great, my stomach stopped working last night too.
