pain

[gazerwolf]

Had the worst migraine I've had in several years last night...maybe worst ever actually...

My head started hurting around 6 last night...low level to begin with...I took some naproxen...didn't help any...eating didn't help either.

I stayed up a little later than usual to watch TV with starsongky . I crawled off to bed around 11 with a mid-level pain.

I musta went to sleep because I had a weird asssed dream...don't remember any details...except it was weird.

The pain woke me up around 1 am...WOKE ME UP....that has never happened to me before...always before if I managed to get to sleep I would sleep through the rest of the headache.


I put an ice pack on my neck...the cold blood moving up into my head felt good....it also managed to dull the pain...I dozed off finally....got up at 6 when the alarm went off...getting the boys ready for school now....I'm sp groggy I can barely think.

He has a point about all the pet chemicals adding up. It also might be a delayed reaction to mold/dust from the past week's cleaning binge, or some stress-related immune system thing. Your system held it together long enough to get us through the inspection, then it said "Okay, that's over, time to collapse." It's the same way I'd work my ass off for 10 days straight to get through a busy stretch, then get sick my first day off.

Hopefully you're feeling better by now. {{hugs}}

I suspect you are right about the "held off" illness.

That sounds about right. As lawyers are often trained to call it, the "de-stress" illness kicks in once stressful (physically, psychologically, or both) situations ease off - mainly due to the immune system bogging down whenever stress reduces.

I've noticed you're not the only one complaining of similar headaches by the way. I've got a similar complaint, although mine's not nearly as bad as you describe your own.
