Yesterday was so beautiful. Shame I missed most of it.
I woke up, took the dogs out, settled in for a little breakfast reading on the couch. I had big plans to get much done. I had phone calls to make, jeans to wash, floors to vacuum. Not one bit of that got done.
My head started slamming me early, and I ignored it because I'm sick and tired of it. I've done nothing but hurt all week. I know it's been due to stress and weather, but I'm really, really worn out from it. I know that ignoring it was not the best response, but I could not stand the thought of taking a Maxalt. Since it was not to a level that was making me scream yet, I also thought it might back off.
You think after all this time, I would have learned....
I took a nap in an effort to shake it, intending to get up refreshed and pain-free and take care of my list. No dice. When I woke up, I was disoriented and sick. Two hours later, I *was* screaming.
I took a Maxalt, and when that didn't work, I took the phenergan. That, of course, was the game-ender. Nothing happens after phenergan takes the field. Even it, though, didn't kill the pain. Every time I woke up, my head was hurting. I would just roll over and wait for unconsciousness to slide back over me again. The only thing I had to deal with while I was asleep was the Hell of Dreams from all the things kicking up sediment in my mind. I won't even go into the details here. I am still hoping that they will fade soon so I can forget them.
I'm better today. I still can't tell if it's going to come back or not. If it does, and if it won't stop hurting me, I think I'm going to have to call my doctor. Probably this is just what I think it is, too much stress and weather shifting too fast, but I can't take much more of it.
The thing that makes me so mad about all of it is that I just lost a day. It happens so much lately. I have plans, I have things I need to do, and WHAM, suddenly I'm incapacitated. There has to be something better than this. I hate it.
