Migraine

Aw, bummer. That darn public speaking.

quote:

Just checking in - lunch talk went well, well attended, then sure enough the beast sunk it's claws in my brain as soon as I got done. It waited til everyone was gone and it could have all my attention to itself.

I think I've got rhinoceros ickus settling in. Headache, scratchy throat, lower than usual tolerance for idiocy, brain fuzzies. And I'm quite tired. I pretty much used my energy up getting through classes today. Since there's nothing new on TV tonight for the shows I watch, I got some movies. I've also got my fuzzy blanket and a spot on the sofa with my name on it. Maybe iffin I take it easy I can kick it's tuckus to the curb!

I've definitely had the "rhinocerus ick" today. No headache--I just don't seem prone to tension type headaches at all--but nasal congestion, sore throat, clogged ears, some coughing, and no energy. I called in sick. I slept most of the afternoon. We'll see if I'm well enough to go to work tomorrow. If I'm not, I'll call the doctor; I know some people have needed antibiotics to get over this stuff.

To anyone else not feeling well, whether because of ick or because of migraine pain, feel better! To those who have felt well and accomplished good things today, congratulations!

Everyone, take care.

I'm slow and in a lot of pain today...Migraines for the past few days...One triptan left and afraid to take it unless things get really bad. I will likely not be able to visit the board for a few days so I'd like to say I hope everyone has a good stretch while I'm absent!

I went for a deep tissue massage today and the therapist took care of a lot of pain and tightness I had in my shoulders, I think the relief is making my head bang somewhat worse at the moment...The pressure itself during the whole thing was somewhat overwhelming but she really worked hard to get those muscles to let go of their gripes...Though I feel it is sometimes hard to relax during a massage because I'm always analyzing the therapists's movements. She did make me very sleepy so I napped, but it did not get rid of the beast.

Anyway, all my best to everyone and I hope you all feel well this weekend...Don't get into too much trouble, lol.
