I got a migraine today, possibly from stress over a personality difference, but then I took a maxalt and it pretty much went away, plus i went to aqua aerobics and now i feel much better. aaaah.....

right now i'm starting to crack my shoulder blade on the right side a little, so hopefully this isn't the start of something bad.

Today two horrible things happened. Well, I did get some relief talking to Dianne about Lee and Sam, but then the two bad things happened ( Read more... )

I woke up with pain today and it was persistent. It wasn't strong but just annoying. (I wonder if that's what topomax does--makes everything tolerable but just boring and sort of numbs you ( Read more... )

Today I took a nap. I *was* feeling tired, so it wasn't simply a fru-fru nap, but when I woke up I had pain on my left side, similar to what I generally describe on here. Not horrible, just annoying. I didn't want to wake up, so I went back to sleep and it didn't help a whole lot. I didn't have to take anything, but it made me think that I shouldn' ( Read more... )

After watching Simpsons and having taken a Maltrax beforehand, my migraine went away last night. Maltrax is great.

Today in the cpj it was the first time I'd seen Dianne all week. She'd been out sick with the flu again, and besides, I hadn't been coming in until well after 1:30 p.m. anyways. So, today we met with her and went over parts of the budget proposal from noon to almost 3 p.m. and then as a big group as did a full run through of our budget proposal for ( Read more... )

I had done something, and it had tripped something that could likely cause a migraine later on in the night. Well, now it's later on, and I may be feeling it. It's definitely pain, just ( Read more... )

i opened the blinds a bit at the ol' homestead today (i'm home sick, although really i'm more home "overwhelmed", but that's another story) and the sun hurts my eyes. blasted sun, i need you, but then you hurt me! could this be the start of something painful???

I'm still confused as to what the hell happened yesterday. The day before was really fun. Almost no absolute pain, and in terms of relative pain, it was super! We had the fondue party. I had a total of two drinks: one glass of chianti that I actually didn't even finish, and later on a cosmo that sort of kept me goin' the rest of the nite. these ( Read more... )

I'm feelin' a little better. the migraine's on its way out i think. i had a couple (2) what are they called...gingko bilobas, which expand the blood vessels in the brain same as caffeine and maxalt. i might look more into that and other herbal remedies. heh. "herbal ( Read more... )
