Head under heels

  • Aug. 29th, 2008 at 9:19 AM

I finally feel like I am winning the battle against a three-day migraine. Yesterday I worked at the Day Job, got home after six, then went in my room, turned off all the lights, and proceeded to do nothing. Those of you who suffer from migraines know how light and sound become the enemy, and I didn't want to take more medication, because two solid days of Excedrin, Midrin, and Maxalt can't be good for me (note to anyone concerned - no, none of these meds contain narcotic ingredients, or my books would be MUCH more crazed than they currently are ;).

So this morning, I woke up with a small headache, not another migraine *cheers*. Two Excedrin later and it's sliding back into an occasional pain behind the eyes, which makes me hopeful that I can answer emails, reply to prior LJ comments, and work more on the werewolf short story. 

Happy Friday, everyone. My goal is a cleared-out inbox and 2,000 new words today. Please send me positive vibes that I can accomplish both.

*hugs* Good luck!

I'm impressed you can even go to the EDJ with a migraine, mine usually lay me out so bad that even thinking of moving is a crying offense.

Sending a ton of positive vibes (and some virtual chocolate...doesn't that cure headaches?) your way. I'm so glad you're feeling better!

I can so relate. I've been battling with headaches (occasional pain lurking behind the eyes)that seem to want to turn into migraines but never do for almost a week now! I think it's stress and the nasty weather we've been having that's doing it.

Hope you feel better and can write!

Sending you lots of positive vibes! Migraines are horrible. I get them and so does my hubby. His were so bad, we went to the doctor and they told us to try Botox injections. He did and they have been better ever since. Weird, but true.

Anyways hope you continue to feel better and get all that you want done :)

Thanks! I can't even remember where I found it now. I wish I could, 'cause I know they'd have a few more cool ones by now. :-) I lead a disorganized life and regret it daily.

Yuck!! My longest migraine to date was 48 hours, and I was ready to rip my head off! I can't imagine 3 full days of it...I finally stopped taking all the drugs last time because they made me so nauseous I couldn't stand up or even sit for more than fifteen minutes at a time.

My sympathies!!!

Wow, that is a very long migraine. I haven't ever had one (although I have my own set of issues) but that sounds like it sucks. Happy vibes coming your way. Good luck with your work.

Jeaniene,
My husband is disabled for migraines and I've seen what he goes through with a 3-dayer. He calls them suicide headaches if that gives you any idea how he suffers. Hope it stays away.

"I think you can."
"I think you can."
"I think you can"

I have been laid up with a fever and horrible cold and no appetite. I want a hamburger.
I feel you pain especially with a migraine. That is one thing I wouldn't wish on anyone.

Sorry to hear about your migraines. I hate it when a room just can't get dark enough to help. You might want to mention it to your/a doctor and they may be able to prescribe something. Mine did.

Anyway. Happy Friday indeed. Good Luck!

I have a long pillow filled with lavendar and millet seed, which can be adjust for where I need the thickness. Helps with migraines and sleeping, for me.

I'd be happy to supply one for you, Jeanine.

I haven't taken Midrin in years, but it was common when I was in college. Maxalt I'm not familiar with--and Imitrex doesn't work at all for me. Fiorinal is my current medication.

I have great sympathy and understanding for others with migraines.
