Today
I got one of the worst headaches I have ever had in my LIFE!
No, yanno, it WAS the worst... EVER!
It was excruciating.

I was in a store this morning, and I had bent down to look at something,
when I got up I got that dizzy feeling you sometimes get when you get up too fast....
but then that was replaced
by what they call an "aura"
flashing lights floating and twirling and racing in front of my eyes.
My arms and legs felt tingly like they'd fallen asleep
I just was NOT right.
I don't know what to think.
Am I sick with something and I don't know it?
I guess it could have been the weather...
the sharp change from warm to ice cold. (it was snowing here this morning!)
Maybe my blood pressure was lower than normal today?
The barometric pressure in the air?
I don't know what but it was awful.
We had to leave the place we were shopping...
I was afraid I wouldn't be able to see well enough to drive.
The pain didn't actually start until I got home...
I've done everything I could today to make it go away,
4 motrin twice now,
3 excedrin migrane twice now,
Kevin gave me a massage,
Katie walked on my back,
I lay under the OTT light (replacement for sunshine)
I listen to the ocean on my ocean sounds disc,
I slept with the electric blanket on high
and a hot pack on my neck....
but still it's there.... lurking under the surface...
I still feel it on the top right side of my brain.
In a few I'll take some MOTRIN PM, which should throughly knock me out
and hopefully knock this headache out
so it's not here when I get up in the morning.
I sure hope it works.

I feel like the whole day was wasted....
I had so much I had planned to do today....
time going down the drain...
gone...
I hate that worse than anything...
you can not get it back.
