MIGRAINES SUCK!

So I suffered from the WORST migraine in the world last night. The last time I had a migraine this bad was about 2 years ago. I suppose a lot of stress could be the key factor in this BUT I am honestly SO irritated with the fact that I even suffer from it at all.

Normally, I am a person who vents in my journal and now on my blog thanks to my beautiful friend Miss April May McDonald and her "Life As a McNugget" blog. She turned me on to this outlet which I LOVE! (Thanks April). But lately, I have taken more of a silent road and have not really vented any of my frustrations to anyone or anything. I just felt like it was time to keep all of my griefs, heartaches, stresses to myself. Guess I was wrong for doing so and last night told me JUST THAT!


Just like the pic with the brunette Barbie in it, my head felt just like that. With every throb came a wince. With every ache came an accompanying electric body shiver. My neck got so tense I couldn't move it from one side to the other. Mind you, I actually went grocery shopping like this though it was at its beginning stage. Then once I arrived back home, I then unloaded all of the groceries and began to make dinner though NOT just any dinner. I had the bright idea to make lasagna from scratch. YES, so there I am wincing in pain, all the meanwhile stirring the beef, watching my pasta and packing away groceries all at the same time.

I must say, the lasagna was great or so I heard. I never ate a thing. Other than some yogurt and some 7-up, I had nothing to eat yesterday which I thought ma have been the underlying culprit to my migraine drama. So I decided to pop 3, count them 3 Tylenol Rapid Release pills and it only irritated my stomach. I vomited immediately, felt dizzy, and decided to take a hot bath. I stood in there for over an hour. I only realized what time it was when E came to the door and asked if I was "ok." It was almost 8 p.m. I jumped and BAM...throb throb throb.

I got out of the tub, E massaged my neck, I grabbed a small wash towel, wet it with cold water, placed it on my head and made myself go to sleep. I can tell you that I prayed to God as I always do. I asked him to give my family strength and not to give them stress should I not wake up the next a.m. I truly felt that bad. So some of you may ask, why not go to the doctor? Well 2 reasons, one I do not think it's a major deal since they are not something I suffer from frequently and two, no insurance. But let's face it, even when I had insurance, I am the hardest person to make to go see the doctor. I mean I truly have to be feeling BAD to go to the doc and usually by that point, I am far past where I should be. But honestly, I think had I had insurance, I definitely would have been in the E.R. last night.

Anyhow, I am a little better today. Still a slight headache in the back of my head but nowhere near the pain I was in last night. I am in bed typing this and this is where I shall remain the whole day. There is still a lot of lasagna SO that is tonight's left overs! Sorry E.

Anyhow, thanks for reading. I am going to try and have a better day today!

p.s. Yesterday was kind of an emotional roller coaster for me so that may ALSO have played out in my migraine!
