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.

Migraine Friday

I slept a few hours and then was up a couple of hours. I finally got back to sleep maybe around 4ish am. Then I had dreams that gave me headaches. I woke up with one so bad I thought my head was going to explode. I couldn’t move it hurt so bad. I had a difficult time getting to sleep as my CRPS ankle flared up about twenty minutes after I laid down. I was in so much pain. It continued to today. I have managed to get around the house but going out wasn’t happening. I had my meeting with Mass Rehab. They are going to help me finish my degree. I need to give them some documents to help with financial stuff.

After the meeting, I completely ran out of gas and had to lay down. I had a headache and was just so tired. I rested but didn’t sleep. Damn phone kept going off, scaring the crap out of me. I swear hit my ceiling a few times. I kept going over my finances and things I need to do. It is a lot. Then I got anxiety and well, I couldn’t sleep after that. I got up feeling so awful. I made another cup of coffee and then some burgers as I hadn’t eaten anything. I felt a little better after eating but I so feel like I can go to sleep now. I need to take a shower. I managed to brush my teeth and shave my head before the meeting. I will probably feel a little better once I shower.

PT called today, finally. My doctor put the order wrong so I had to send a message for them to fix it. I called them and they aren’t booking until Sept. JFC. My sprain has been hurting every so often so I guess it is still healing. It doesn’t give me the constant every day pain I have been having.

I tried filling out a form for therapy that is west of Boston but I couldn’t do it so I called the intake line except they don’t do intakes over the phone. Why they are called intake I have no idea. Anyway because they are so west of me, I am not in their catchment area. They referred me to Cambridge. They don’t take my insurance and the copay will be higher so I am not calling them. I messaged my psychiatrist and am waiting to see what he says. I see him next week so it might be then that he responds. I knew it was going to be difficult finding a new therapist.

I just got an email from UMB financial aid that says my appeal has been approved for one semester. It contradicts an email I got last week saying my appeal was not successful. I don’t know or care, really. I am going to pay for the one class I am taking. I dropped one class as I couldn’t afford two. Damn assholes are playing with me and I don’t like it. I am going to study really hard this semester. I got to do this. And I know the course is going to be difficult. Just wish I didn’t get brain fog when I am tired. Physically going to campus always tires me out before I get to class. It is the same time as my class last semester and in the same building but a different classroom. I don’t know if there will be a lot of students or not. It is a 300 level class. I don’t know the professor. The department has changed.
