most recent migraine.....

today is thursday....and i feel a little bit more normal....you want to know why???? monday night at 9pm i started to get this headache...it covered my whole forehead...my husband and i thought it was just stress over a traffic ticket that i was to take care of on tuesday....so i took the usual meds...and laid down...and laid there the whole night while the headache got worse by the second...when morning came i felt HORRIBLE...my forehead felt like an inflated balloon...my eyes were sooo puffy that they felt like they were trying to swell shut.....went to the courthouse and got the ticket taken care of thanks to derrick peterson(YOUR THE BEST)....by the time i got home i was still feeling soo bad...the pain was starting to move...it was going towards my left temple.....by the late afternoon i was about to die...i looked at the clock and it said 4:42 and i knew that it was too late to go see my family doctor....and i couldn't have handled the ride to dothan to the e.r. ...so i took another round of the usual suspects and laid back down....every time i moved it would throb it felt like an ice pick

just stabbing me over and over with every beat of my heart.....my forehead was now just sore and tired from the headache that had been there...now it was just on my left side....it is just unreal how bad that can hurt.....

that picture accurately describes what i was feeling....so yesterday i woke up and still had the same migraine...it was just getting to be unbearable...so i finally get to go to the doctor and they gave me a shot...i go back home and go back to bed....it just sucks how migraines just take your life away from you...i have a little boy that wants to play with his mommy but she cant cause she has a headache...it just sucks....thank goodness he is such a good baby and knows that mommy can't help it and he even tries to take care of me....i couldn't ask for a better child...
today i still have a headache on the left side but it is starting to ease off slowly...thank GOD!!!! and i am tired...a migraine is like a roller coaster...the beginning of the migraine is like your going up the first hill.......the peak of the migraine is when you are at the top....and then when it starts to leave your heading down the hill...but when you get to the bottom your still just worn out like your body has been at battle...which it has..trying to heal itself....
so if you have a friend or anyone who has migraines and they tell you they have a migraine...just remember its not a simple headache that you can just take two Excedrin and get over it...migraines are debilitating and take your life from you...be nice to people when they are in pain...
