Headaches my oh my
I woke up three times during the night. All due to dreams and having a headache. I took my migraine med this morning. I have been up since 6. I didn’t want to go back to sleep as my med alarm was set to go off at 8. My nephew was in the bathroom when I went downstairs a little after 8 so I made coffee. I ran out of my biscuits so just had one cup of coffee. Then I brushed my teeth and went back to my room. I had to charge my phone so I waited about an hour before catching the bus to the Square. I figure I would read at Starbucks and maybe write. Headache was still blaring and it looked like it might rain.
I ordered coffee and something to eat. I found a table to sit at. I ate a bland wrap with eggs, bacon, potato, and sausage. It was good but needed salt. I then finished the chapter I was struggling with. It was on youth suicide prevention and it was triggering me. They cited a study that was for high schoolers being taught suicide prevention among their peers and it just struck a cord for me. I had already started to be suicidal my freshman year of high school. It has been a long time.
After I finished the chapter, I headed toward the busway and my bus was pulling out. Bad timing. I had to wait another twenty-five minutes. I read Twitter for a bit and then scrolled through Facebook. My pcp had messaged me. Apparently, I had inadvertently been causing rebound headaches with my use of Excedrin. So I have to hold off on using it for a while. She warned me that my headaches will be bad while holding off. Lovely. I am dealing with another headache right now. Meds must have stopped working. This sucks.
My niece wanted me to print something for her so I did and then I trimmed my beard a little too much, I think. I showered and was so exhausted after just washing my hair, I had to sit down. I am glad we have a seat built into the shower and my sister didn’t get rid of my mother’s support bars she bought. I was hurting so bad. Back had cramped up and I was thinking it was a bad idea trying to shower. I somehow got enough energy to finish washing my body and rinse off. I was out of breath though. It was like I was running uphill. Yesterday I was in the ED with heart stuff. My heart rate went up to 150s just from lying down. It went down and then went up again when I brushed my teeth. I felt funny so decided to go in to make sure I was ok. I was in sinus tachycardia when I was seen so I wasn’t making it up. I was still feeling palpitations until I saw the PA. My heart rate had slowed down some by then. Blood work came back ok, though my TSH was lower than it was previously. I got to talk to my pcp about it. Thyroid problems run in my family.
It was hot in my room after my shower so I turned on the AC. Temp outside increased. It’s now 80 degrees. Was 70 when I got up. Doesn’t look like rain anymore as the sun poked through. I am tired. I just want to listen to the game and then go to bed.
