Oh My Aching Head!

Posted Feb 11 2011 12:00am

Oh My Aching Head!

I got my first headache since the patches yesterday.  It was a pretty bad one, but when I took some meds and a short nap, it went away.

Last night when I was trying to go to sleep I was all stuffy.  I think I’m having allergies.  I woke up this morning around 8am with a horrible headache, I went back to sleep for a little while (read 2 hours on and off here) and when I decided I would just get up I swear my head hurt even worse.

Today it’s on the left side of my head.  I feel like there has been a rod inserted in my left eye and it’s coming out the lower part of the back of my skull, and it’s rotating.  At first I didn’t take anything, I thought I’d eat something and drink a bunch of water first to see if that would help. Nope.  Then I took a Topamax, to see if I have high pressure.  Nothing.  Then I took a Maxalt (migraine reliever). Nada.  Finally, I took a Hydrocodone. I can’t really open my left eye now, and I’m sick to my stomach.  I just took a Phenergan to see if it will help with the nausea.

So what is causing this horrible headache?  Allergies?  Hormones? (I’m on my period.) or is my pressure going too high?

I just really wish it would go away!  I really need to do some house work, I can’t tell you the last time my house was vacuumed….maybe Christmas?  No wonder my allergies are bad.  : )  I got a new vacuum for Christmas, anyone want to come try it out?
