A much better day

I woke up kind of mid-morning. I had some studying to do. I tried to read but kept being distracted. I couldn’t find what I was looking for so I was getting frustrated. I couldn’t remember where I read what I read. I would have to go through everything and it would take some time. I am so frustrated. I don’t know how tedious this exam is going to be. I might take it tomorrow rather than Tues just to get it out of the way. I have to do stuff for the group and my paper presentation for Thurs. Ugh so much to do this week. Then I have to pack for the weekend for the wedding. I realized I bought the wrong color tie. Ugh. I just bought the right color one. Thank god for next day delivery from Amazon.

I feel ok finally. No headache but I am still kind of tired. I rested for a bit after I tried to study for a bit. I made chicken and roasted potatoes. It was good. I am still craving a burger. I might buy some tomorrow. I hope the store is open. Tomorrow is a holiday. I don’t know how the buses will be running. I did my meds for the week. I also shaved. My cousin trimmed the back of my neck today. I was glad as it was getting thick.

It’s been a cold rainy day. My sister put the heat on so the pipes wouldn’t freeze. The heat came on in the middle of the night and I heard it come on. I had to go pee around the time it came on. Other than that, I pretty much slept through the night. I did have some weird dreams but nothing to cause headaches or migraines, thank god. I needed some decent sleep.

I went to the ED last night because I was on day 10 on my headaches/migraines. I couldn’t take it anymore. I spent the night in the ED. I didn’t sleep. I didn’t eat. I drank some. Because of the fluid shortage, they didn’t give me fluids. I was thankful because every cup of water I drank went right through me. It took three rounds of meds to get the headaches to a tolerable level and then they discharged me. They want me to follow up with my neuro so I got to call on Tues to see if I can move up my appointment. The neuro attending told me about NSAID rebound. I hope my toothache doesn’t come back.

I slept for a couple of hours and I didn’t dream. I had some leftover Chinese food because I didn’t feel like cooking. I’ll cook tomorrow when I feel a little better. I woke up my head was hurting again but I think it was because I haven’t eaten anything all day or really had much to drink.

My bed dropped my textbook on the floor. I don’t know how it did it. I laughed. I guess I am not studying tonight. I need to re-read chapters 6 and 7. I think once I go over those chapters I will be confident to take the exam. I have until Tues to take it.

Anyways that is the update for today. I am tired and beat. Hope I can sleep tonight.

Migraine continues day 10

I am on day 10 of migraine. I got my holter monitor last night. I had a palpitations episode while I was sleeping but it kind of woke me up. I sort of pressed the button but the palpitations had stopped. I read that the thing kept recording so that was good. I have been feeling ick all week. I tried to study but my mind keeps going blank.

I had message my neuro the other day and she increased the gabapentin to three times a day. So far it hasn’t changed anything. I went to class yesterday. I struggled to pay attention to what was going on. We didn’t spend that much time on reviewing the study guide. I just went over it and had a heart attack. There were stuff on it that I had to look up. Stuff from chapter 6. I have a wicked migraine right now and my brain keeps blanking out on me. I messaged the neuro again to see what I was supposed to do in the mean time. I know it is kind of late in the afternoon so my neuro might not get it. I plan on going to the ED. I don’t know if the holter monitor is going to pose a problem should they need to do an EKG. I hope they don’t need to do one.

I feel kind of dizzy. I haven’t been drinking fluids. I just had a cup of coffee today and half a bottle of soda. That has been it for fluid intake. I am so tired. I just want to go back to sleep. Today has been rough with the damn headaches. I have had dreams that have been giving me headaches and shit. The dreams make no sense. I don’t remember them. I hate dreaming. It’s really fucking up my life.
