migraines and sleep suck

Migraines and sleep suck

I had another night of headaches. I felt like crap when I got up. I had my coffee and then went up to my room. I felt kind of dizzy and thought my blood pressure was low. I laid down for a bit and then took my blood pressure. It was high. I should know by now that when I am dizzy, my blood pressure is usually up.

I had the window open and it was not a good thing when there is a snowstorm with falling temps and high winds. I was freezing and had to put on my throw blanket to keep warm. I don’t know why the heat didn’t kick on. I was up on and off throughout the night and only heard it on once or twice. I shut the window when the temp in my room dropped to 53F. I also turned up the heat so my room could try and get warm. It is hovering around 60 degrees now. Still chilly in my room but I am comfortable. I just want to lay down as I feel like shit.

Yesterday I was working on my ending while I had a clear head. It was difficult and slow. Things were coming to me at one sentence at a time. I couldn’t get a rhythm going. Every time I felt a feeling I would pause and lose my train of thought. I hated it. I am going to talk to my therapist about it tomorrow when I see her. I hope the headaches don’t happen tonight because I am out of my migraine meds. It was a slushy day today so I didn’t go to the Square to get my meds. Plus I am still waiting for the Effexor to be ready. Might as well pick up everything in one visit. I hope to go to the library tomorrow to get a book I requested. I wanted to read today but my head is too foggy. I have been trying to drink water but it is slow going. I don’t know why some days I can chug water like no big deal and other days it’s like pulling teeth. I miss having Gatorade. I didn’t get it this month because I had other expenses. Eventually I will need to get a new printer. I cannot get the toner in and I have given up on it. I am going to just leave it on my front yard and hope someone grabs it. Fucking thing made a mess trying to get it installed.

If my blood pressure isn’t down by tomorrow, I will contact my pcp. Hopefully I won’t have to go to the ED for it.  My sleep is so damn fractured. I kept dreaming about Chandler and Monica for some reason. My brain wouldn’t let it go and when I woke up and fell back to sleep, the dream continued. It was so weird. I am so tired of having headaches night after night. It just makes me feel so shitty.
