Ugh. I thought I was gonna have to go to the hospital last night.

I had a headache most of the day, presumably because I hadn’t slept well the night before. But then it got bad, so I went and laid down after dinner for a few hours. It wasn’t going away, so I finally gave in and took one of my Zomig’s (migraine prescription). I sat up for a while, waiting for it to kick in, but by the time south park was over, I was just miserable. So I went and laid down, and I was so much pain that I was questioning if it was a migraine or if I was having something more major. I knew that if I got up and move around at that time, I’d be so nauseous that I couldn’t keep my dinner down, so I didn’t want to do that. In my head, I was trying to figure out which hospital I’d go to if I couldn’t stand it anymore. I was shaking like I was cold, but sweating, and that was scaring me. So for a while, I got E to rub my back, and then I did some self massages - I rubbed my temples so hard that I should have bruises this morning, but it let me sleep for maybe a half hour. When I’d wake up, I’d rub my arms and neck and anything to put pressure in a place other than my head.

I knew I had to be keeping E awake, so for a while, I got up and kept my cloth cool on my head and sat on the couch in different positions to try and change the pressure. I took my regular drugs in the hope that the sleeping pills would help. Finally it started to get less, and I went back to bed and finally slept. Straight through till the morning, and then I got up and went back to bed to read for a little while and back to sleep for a few hours.

Its not gone... the pressure is still in my head. But its much, much less than last night. So I think I’m gonna rest on the couch for most of the afternoon. Maybe I’ll eat something first though; my tummy is rumbly.
