Worst migraine in 6 years...



...so bad I couldn't put my head on my pillow for the pain. Finally risked taking a Skelaxin (a non-sedating muscle relaxant) in spite of the nausea from the headache...it did get the muscles in the back of my head relaxed enough so that I could lay down and try to sleep it off. Woke up today minus the headache but with all the other sypmtoms still present, like having a hangover: dizziness, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, mental fuzziness. Dan had to take me to get my allergy shot because I was not fit to drive. It was a very bright day, and the sunlight hit me just right even with my sunglasses on, and the migraine started up again! Ack...I can hardly even form a sentence. So much for my resolution of not calling in sick. Dan wouldn't let me go to work anyway...says I look horrible.

Last time I had a migraine this bad, it lasted for two months! I had every test and treatment imaginable...no cause or cure was ever found. I will try to sleep this off tonight, but if it's not gone tomorrow morning, I will insist upon seeing a doc.

This is hell.
