Today has been, interesting. Trying to think clearly, looking at the world totally differently (because it helps ever so slightly to tilt my head to the left or right, no, no, the other... ouch), and trying to stay awake and do a few things in spite of the pain and nausea. The pain is not horrible, just bad enough to get my attention and pretty much hold it. It is not a migraine, or at least not as bad as the really neat ones. But low light, slow movements, avoidance of noise, and eating small bits from time to time seem to balance life enough that I can do some things. It waxes and wanes, but has not even come close to being nice today. My response to one of k’s comments was a work of art in my condition. I think I spelled things ok, and used grammar so-so, but it couldn’t have been my best. I was pretty satisfied with the message though, I think. I’ll see it when my head hurts less.
As far as getting much else done, though, it just did not happen. I took some ibuprofen, and tried to nap. On these little ones, it sometimes works. It was a no go. So, I have tinkered and looked, reading a bit, and tried to keep everything copasetic. At least I should sleep well tonight. It actually takes a lot of energy to just keep going on the little things, pacing rather than just doing is what wears me out I think. I actually do not mind these unless I have to choke back the emesis, crush my head between pillows, and watch the spark show in my head. It is usually pretty cool, the spark show, if I could relax and enjoy.
Well, that is it for today. Maybe they will pull the spike out of my voodoo doll head tomorrow and I will play and work a bit more vigorously. I did say a bit more… Ouch, I should not even think things like that at the moment.
ow...bad headache. go away.

ReplyDeleteGoodnight.
Imitrex is a miracle drug for these kind of headaches. Clears up both the nausea and the pain.
ReplyDeleteAre you better today?
ReplyDeletejean,
ReplyDeleteBetter and busy! And, now, tired.
desert cat,
The VA gave me some things... For a while the headaches and migraines were frequent and bad. I sort of go in and out of those. I'm not sure what they give, but I do not know if they would give me something like that.
