Stop The World! I’m Feeling Motion Sick!

Seriously.

I’ve had a bad migraine for…as long as I can remember at this point.

O.K. I’ve actually had one every day since last Wednesday morning, I believe. They came. I medicated. They went away for a bit. There were side effects.

But this one I’ve had since Saturday afternoon/evening. I’ve tried several medications — following the doctor’s directions of not taking different ones within 24 hours of each other. At the moment, I feel slightly better than last night and this morning when I was praying to throw up and get it over with — though if memory serves, the action of throwing up usually makes the migraine worse.

I contemplated stabbing my forehead, where most of the pain is currently focused, repeatedly with a plastic fork around lunch time today but I managed to resist, if only because I didn’t want to have to explain to the strangers in group therapy what happened; they might think I’m crazy or something.

Anyway, maybe I should have stayed home today, but I didn’t want to take a PDO…still, I’m extremely light sensitive and unusually horribly sound sensitive — normally, I can handle the soothing tones of light jazz and R&B or my new age playlist, but today, every little noise pounds through my entire body like someone is driving a nail through me. Keeping my eyes closed doesn’t relieve the pain, but it does shift the pain a little or maybe it’s just a different kind of pain. I can feel my face is all flushed. I feel like I have a huge portruding forehead like Brain in Pinky & The Brain. There’s nothing comforting about feeling the blood pulsating through your back.

Not to mention, I left my sunglasses at home and today is the first sunny day we’ve had in over a week. *sigh*
