Monday, July 17th
- 8:43am: "Headachy"
- 12:22 "Still slightly headache"
- 1:30: "went away"
- PM: Came back. Then EXPLODED.
- It was a VERY BAD NIGHT. I threw up a lot.
Tuesday, July 18th SICK (had to cancel appt)
- SPent most of night throwing up and half sleeping.
- I was either too hot or too cold. Pain seemed to skip around from one side
to the other then to the center for a while. (that may have been dehydration?)
- Soon after 8am I stumbled downstairs to make a phone call this morning 'cause I knew I wouldn't
make it to my noon appt. I spent hours on the couch after. At one point I was
zoning out sitting up with my chin on my chest (ouch)... and when I did lie down
I didn't even clear the stuff of the couch. I started trying to drink some water
in little sips and managed to keep it down. But it was still 4 hours before
I tried to eat toast. (I had tried applesauce, but only managed 2 bites.
Yeah, it was that bad. Toast meant I could finally take some drugs.
- 9:56pm: It's back. Drugs being taken.
Wednesday, July 19th
- 8:06am: ow.. still Right side, not a "real" migraine.
Neck and upper back are very stiff too.
- Took an Imitrex and (after eatting something) Advil. Seemed to not be
getting better. Maybe even worse. So I took more drugs. (a Vicoden and a
caffeine pill) and went back to bed. Around 10 I got up, showered, shot myself
(didn't Tuesday) and went to work.
- Not 100% right. Stomach feels funny. I wouldn't say I was totally headache
free and I must not stretch my neck or I'll trigger something (I'm SO fucking TIGHT!)
Thursday, July 20th
- 11:20pm: Made it through most of the day without a headache. Not totally sure
why this one started. Right side. Probably a migraine so I'm going to drug
up soon and go to sleep.
Friday, July 21st
- 2:00 am: woke up headache free.
- LATER: almost got a headache (neck related) but I massaged my body out of it.
Still all sore though and I gotta be careful about stretching.
Saturday, July 22nd
- I woke with a migraine around 5am on the right side. Took an Imitrex.
