Headache to the nth degree...



...it has been at least a year since my head hurt this bad. I think it's a trigger point thing, but I can't seem to get the muscle group responsible to relax and stay relaxed. The pain doesn't travel around my head, it travels THROUGH my head from back to my right eye like a laser beam.

Oddly, I've been trying since last week to get an appointment with the massage therapist and the chiropractor but the receptionist never seems to pick up the phone. Then on the way to work today, Dan had to lock up the brakes to avoid hitting a van that stopped suddenly. My head jerked forward, not enough to bother most people, but I bet it was just enough to bother me.

I'm trying to decide if I dare take a muscle relaxant because I feel like I'm going to hurl. Maybe just moist heat on the back of my head? A dark room definitely sounds good.

Pain level: 10
Fatigue level: 9
