migraine madness

You know, I think I could tolerate this migraine if it was just the headache, but this time the pain brought a bunch of friends to play with it.  Yesterday was awful, filled with sensitivity to light and sound and touch, nausea, fever, chills…just a mess of stuff that made me feel like dying was the better alternative.

Today is marginally better.  I could actually tolerate clothing and I haven’t had to throw up in more than 12 hours.  That said, this is day three of this migraine and I am so over it.

If there was something the doctor could actually do, I’d be making an appointment to be seen, but she’ll just give me more of the meds I’m already taking.  So, I’m here at work with my noise cancelling headphones and a baseball hat pulled low to hide my eyes from the awful fluorescent lighting and the hood up on my long sleeved t-shirt.

Coffee and mints need to see me through this day until I can go home and take the good drugs.

How’s your Wednesday, Readers?

the one with a migraine

Yesterday was not a good day.  I was feeling all over aches, bloating, nausea, stiffness in my back….just yuck.  As the day went on, I developed a headache and then, shortly after I had a little dinner, I threw up everything my tiny stomach could possibly hold.

I went to bed knowing that I would wake up with a migraine, and sure enough I did.  I have medicated and had some coffee and it’s dialed back a bit, but my stomach is still not very happy with me and I don’t dare venture out into the sun or head to the gym.

That means keeping myself in my nice dark office to get some work and some writing done.  I’m enjoying this part time work lifestyle, even if it means I don’t have quite as much money.

It also means I have time in my schedule for more freelance work, so if you’re looking for a writer or an editor, hit me up.  I’ll give you a good deal.
