Okay, now it doesn't just hurt, it's getting annoying.

I had honestly hoped to wake up today, clear and clean, healthy and well, and make it to the event.  I woke up late, I woke up in pretty good pain, and I was doing good not to try and stay in bed to hide from the pain.  It simply was not going to happen today.  I took a handful of aspirin as soon as I woke, and ate a bit too.  Keeping on the fringe of starvation means sometimes eating isn't about choice.  I did keep my meal small.  The nausea isn't back yet but sometimes it takes a while for the pain to grate on my nerves enough to upset the stomach.  I suppose if I feel the pain in my sleep, I wake up pre-disposed to nausea some days.  As I said, while it does hurt, it has become less of an opponent than an annoyance.  I still game, I still blog, I do pretty much everything I would normally do... if I specifically remember to eat less (which sometimes isn't an issue as I don't always eat anyway) and move even more slowly.  Actually, when I move, I move fast.  I just move rarely.  While in this condition I do move more slowly.  Sometimes checking to make sure I am not exacerbating the pain, nausea, or getting dizzy.

Yep, I best get in to medical soon.  I don't know if this is high blood pressure related or not.  Only that it is... a bit too persistent to let continue whatever the case.  I doubt if I will schedule an appointment just for this, I will simply mention it when I meet with the nurse and ask about what D.C. recommended.  Oh, it's a migraine.  I have regular headaches from time to time, even bad ones.  This one involves sensory input like vision, hearing, even smell in some odd way.  Plus, there is something odd about migraines.  It's more like they are alive than just a pain.  Mine moves, rather than thrumbs, like electricity, in pulses or waves.  Headaches can thrumb, and hard, but they are generally static and often I can't define exactly where the pain seems to be coming from exactly.

The aspirin helped settle things down a bit for now.  It's about time for another handful.  Later.
