Has it really been almost a year? Predictably, this doesn't mean I haven't had migraines; just that I haven't been tracking them. A big part of that has been that I haven't had health insurance so I know no doctor would be asking to see a migraing log anytime soon. But that may change soon because I'm going to start a new job on Monday, one with ( Read more... )

It's Friday now. My last update was Tuesday. I was complaining of pain from sleeping. That pain has been relatively consistent, though right now it's basically gone. It's so weird. It actually feels like I USED to feel, unexplained pain, etc. I don't know if it's from sleeping anymore; it's just pain. I think it's weird that this "old" style pain ( Read more... )

Yesterday and today I've had neck pain, but in different places and different intensities, and different predictabilities. It's very weird. It sucks, but it's very tangible, understandable pain, unlike most other days ( Read more... )

I was feeling near-migraine all week so I exercised and exercised to try to stave it off, but it didn't work. Of course, this was a hormonal migraine that finally happened, on Friday April 14. (That was the first day of period as well, as expected.) On Friday, well during the night, I had been in some pain, and then it just continued when I woke up ( Read more... )

Well, it's never good news when I post to this site, and my "good news" blog hasn't had any posts for some time. This is a hard time in my life, I guess ( Read more... )

Today I started really freaking out about the deadline for vis guide info (actually Profile stuff I have to do for Charlie by this Friday) and was gonna work all day on it, out in Shelton even, then right before I left I got a call from Sean Hanlon asking me to come fill in for Rebecca today. I accepted, but Tuesday's are the hardest days to do ( Read more... )

I thought I should make a note that I'm starting to hate my life again. Some confounding variables, if you will: 1) I smoked last night, maybe I just shouldn't do that. 2) It's day 4 of my period. Maybe I just shouldn't do that ( Read more... )

Today is one of those migraines I'd normally take a relpax for, but not today, since I've decided to give up pain meds for Lent. I just wanted to note that it's one of "those" migraines where I feel nauseous on and off and light and sound hurts. It's day 3 of menstruating so I don't know if that has anything to do with it but it's worth noting. I' ( Read more... )

I started coming down from my mania about a week ago. Last Tuesday I was having dinner with Dianne, and I think I could tell then. I told her I had been better, but had also been worse so it's going ok. I had decided to cancel sitting in with Scott Askew at KAOS for the following Wednesday since I'd be home late WEdnesday due to ESL-ing and I had ( Read more... )

It's been a while. Usually is. I thought I'd start doing this again though because I think it's important. In addition to tracking migraines and other physical pain, however, I will also track my moods. My doctor said I might have bipolar or some "mood disorder." I was shocked to hear it, though when I think back on these last few years there are ( Read more... )
