Migraine activity continues

Since Friday, I have had migraine activity. Some has been straight up pain, other times, I feel neuropathy around my head. I thought it was over as I woke up at 4am in no pain and was clear headed. I went to Starbucks and when I came home, my head was all tingly, like pins and needles. I contacted my neuro today and she is going to try a thing of steroids. I can’t think of what the term is called. If it doesn’t work, I am going to go to ED. Sounds are annoying me and so is light. I am glad today is cloudy, cool, and rainy. Only problem is neuro is going to put the script to the Square’s pharmacy and not the one around the corner from me so I will have to go out again.

My DMH case worker is back from vacation. She told me there is an event at the center where there is peer to peer support from individuals like me with chronic mental illness. I am not sure if it is a paid position or volunteer. It’s Thursday and I meet with my pdoc that day. I would have to go into Boston before my appointment so I could be there at the time the event happens. I hate not being on my laptop for his appointments because my phone does funky things with zoom. Last time it didn’t connect and I had to go one some other site to see him.

This blog isn’t going to be long because I am struggling to see as my head is pounding and I am nauseous. Damn, I forgot to take out burgers for dinner tonight. Guess I am having ramen, if my niece didn’t eat it all. She and I like the same foods so she eats mine but never replenishes it. I replenish and she eats. She is a mouse. I don’t mind but stuff is expensive and I sometimes want the stuff I buy, like my mac and cheese. I meant to buy it today and forgot.

I sent out two books today. I went to the post office and mailed it out. I also got customs forms for the two people I need them for. I hate filling it out as I have to put a value on the book and I have a hard time doing that. Hopefully my uncle’s check will come today so I can pay off my tuition for the month. Once that is settled, I will feel so much better. I wanted to try to read the textbook for the neuroscience but with this damn headache, that is a no. I should have known I was going to get a migraine when I got brainfog while at Starbucks. I thought it was just because I was up so damn early. I didn’t even have to pee. I just woke up feeling pretty good. Now I feel like total shit. Of course, all I have had to drink today was coffee beverages. I am trying to drink more water but it is hard. Plain water is boring.

Day 3 migraine continues.

Saturday Blog 27072024

Migraine continues. I have been in bed most of the day and I took a nap for a few hours. I still have a damn head pressure. If this continues tomorrow, I think I will go to the ED. I’ve never had a migraine last this long before.

I had a difficult night sleeping. I kept getting up because I was thirsty. I would have read some but my head was hurting me too much. I was listening to the game and the Snakes took the lead and then some. I turned it off only to learn later the Sox came back and won the game. Of course it happened the next inning when I turned it off. It was so hard to follow the game because my head hurts so much. I was just laying on my bed in the dark, listening to the game. I couldn’t really read on my phone so I just lay in the dark.

I made pasta salad for dinner. It has been the only thing I have eaten today. I had two cups of coffee to try and clear my head but it didn’t work. Coffee must be broken. I keep thinking about the dreams I had the other night. It was just creepy. I don’t think I will listen to the game tonight. I will just keep track of it on the app. It hurts too much to concentrate. Even as I am typing this it hurts. I hope sleep will take the headache away. I took some ibuprofen with some Excedrin. Sometimes that combo helps.
