Migraine headaches are no picnic. I haven't had a bad one in years now, until this morning. Nausea threatened as I attempted to eat my dry, bland breakfast. I felt spacey, like I shouldn't be out driving, but I was. My head throbbed, my eye, nose, ear, and neck ached. I wanted to crumple up in heap and go to sleep, but I passed out breakfast and headed to the baby room... I sent my boss a text, "I am here but I have a migraine. I don't think I can stay." She texted back, "ok" and I waited for 9 am to arrive. I'm sad to say, I don't think I was much help between 7 am and 9, but I did hold little ones and bottles and let the others sit on my lap and crawl across my legs. I sat on the floor with my eyes closed and my back against the wall. When I was able to punch out, I went to my car and slept in the parking lot for an hour before going home to sleep some more. This evening I went to the chiropractor and played in the mud at the pottery studio. Now I am tired and ready to sleep. Pretty sure I'll be good as new tomorrow.

Oh dear, so sorry you had such a migraine. They leave you so drained. Ugh. I hope you're as good as new tomorrow too.
ReplyDeleteI was better, but not 100 percent. I forgot how bad migraines are.
DeleteDo you take prescription migraine medication? My daughter was on prescription migraine medication, but the side effects were terrible. We found Advil migraine pills ( they also have Excedrin Migraine but they don't work as well) & they work quickly and are as good as the prescription she was on.
ReplyDeleteNo prescriptions. Most of my migraines were hormonal and I haven't had a bad one in a couple of years. I'm going with ibuprofen for now and tonight a bit of Benadryl, to help me sleep.
DeleteOh, I'm so sorry Martha. I have never had a migraine.
ReplyDeleteFrom what you describe...I sure don't want one.
I hope you had a good rest and feel better now.
This too shall pass. Maybe one more good night's sleep will do it.
