Head:Migraine today. Urk. Started slow, but by the time I got home from my physio appointment, I was very ready for bed, headphones & sleep mask. That was after triptan inhaler and aspirin/coffee combo. Drugs (mersyndol) & deep sleep do help A LOT. Got up a while ago, feeling I will live ( Read more... )

Headachey overnight, and still groggy today. Went to physio who was concerned over swelling in my R arm. She thinks it is the delayed result of Doing Too Much. She asked me not to do PT with Crusher as I had planned. I agreed quite readily. Wandered aimlessly into a bookshop and found a book on migraine prevention by a world expert in headache ( Read more... )

First up, I don't much like the stuff. But when I'm getting a migraine, I SIMPLY HAVE TO HAVE IT. I can snarf most of a 180gm bar, with no ill-effects (except to my waistline ( Read more... )

What a bugger! Yesterday was a migraine - not by any means the worst I ever had, but I am out of practice & it hit me hard. Bit shattered today.

I'm threatening to get back on a plane if I have another in the next couple of days. That might be a reverse incentive, though ;-)

I had forgotten how horrible they are - how quickly we forget. I quite ( Read more... )

Had to take aspirin yesterday, but given I am doing heroic amounts of accounts that is not utterly surprising. My shoulder & intercostals are acting up too. Yet no migraine. :-)

I told someone - ironically - that I have decided not to have migraines anymore. They responded that our minds are very powerful. I was flanbergasted, wamted to scream that ( Read more... )

Around 4.30, I was desperate for a walk. So I went, wearing my hat and dark glasses. I slow amble around the local park got my heart rate going but good - I'd say around 140. Head thumpies came back. You betcha. Still felt more human: that's what the world looks like ( Read more... )

Home with a migraine - at the point where I feel ok if I don't move around. Yeah, the pain is still there in my left temple, but I'd rather read than sit here feeling miserable. I've already spent 2 days out of the past 7 in a darkened room ( Read more... )

My lovely masseur broke me today. Well, he broke some adhesions "and crap", anyway. As requested by my Physio. Actually, I felt a lot better for several hours. My right hand is no longer numb.

Drank lots of water, went for a gentle walk, lay quietly on the couch.

Now I am getting the thump-thump in the temple.

Yes, I was heroic this morning. Alarm clock blipped at 6.50am, and I got out of bed and went to my personal training session. I'm still "post-migrainey" in that 'push your luck, moocow, and the bad pain will come back' kind of way. So I seriously considered ringing and cancelling ( Read more... )

Well, bugger. I was supposed to be enjoying myself at a picnic at the Botanical Gardens today ( Read more... )
