Updates

I've posted an update at FUTUREQUAKE & will be posting an update at the Futurequake Blog

During May, along with the usual nuisance migraines, I had a bout of migraines that lasted a little more two weeks. It was caused mostly by stressed fault lines in Central America , which is south of this part of Texas. It was one of the worst migraines I've had in months, the kind that feels like the flu without the fever.
Then, I got about a week without any migraines other than the mild, short duration type. it seemed I spent the entire week catching up on everything that didn't get done the weeks before. Just when I thought maybe the earth would not shake badly for a while, it started again.
Foul damned headache! After another lost week with a horrible left sided migraine with neck and shoulder pain, the 6.8 Guatemala quake shook so hard that the P-waves could be felt from here in Texas.
While this long round of migraines was happening, not much got done around here.
Rather than posting up, the thought of turning the computer on was almost unthinkable.

Tonight, symptoms tell me that Central America may be about to rock again. Be sure and click the link above for more information.

Take care all.

3 7.+ Mag Quakes

That awful left sided migraine that made my head feel like it was breaking was the symptom of three quakes over 7. mag. It was unusual to have the serious migraine end a day before the quakes, but it was nature's warning mechanism.

Click the link above for more information on the quakes, and small tsunami's caused by these quakes.

Monster Migraines

For about a week, I put up with the most awful round of migraines. First the right side for 3 days, followed by about 12 hours pain free. These were caused by rather strong activity near the Gulf of Mexico, and Mexico south.
As the earthquakes moved back to stress points in the Pacific Rim, the migraine kicked back up on the left. Usually this side is a little easier to put up with, but this round was cause for spending time in a dark room, and no noise.
But of course, not even that is really quiet. It only makes those high frequency electrical noises louder.

I hope all of you who check in here are having a good day. Hopefully, we'll get a run of days with no major quake of volcanic activity.
The intensity of my left sided migraine was not a match for the moderate activity recorded in the Pacific. Expect heavier quakes to come.
The crust could use a lube job.

Nasty Migraine, Coming Quakes

This migraine that started on Wednesday with some burred vision, vertigo, and general achiness became a full fledged right sided migraine this afternoon. There is a little nausea with this, so undersea quakes are likely, as well as the updated locations at FUTUREQUAKE.
This migraine comes with some extreme sleepiness at times. Facial neuralgia, too.
There has been intermittent, loud high frequency tinitus like noise, likely correlated to seismic stressors.

Hopefully, this will ease off by late tomorrow.

Take care, all.

MIgraine, since Monday

This one has been really bad. It started Monday, early, and has gotten progessively worse. It has driven me to ice packs every once in a while.
Thione is right sided, a little ear ringing, pain in around the eyes.

This one hit right before I had to represent myself in court. And, this wasn't small claims.
As I was about to start, the little nagging pain turned into blurred vision, and I couldn't read the carefully planned questions for the witnesses. Within a half hour, those waves of whatever it is blanked out my train of thought. There I was with this well planned attack,and I could barely stand there.
More, oh yes. I decided it was time to take the stand. And, that brain wave thing happened again. I had no idea where to start.

Actually, I proved every point. Witnesses admitted things that should have brought the win to my table. Expert proved what he came to prove.

All they had were insults, and innuendo.

The judge ruled their favor. I don't see how that could have happened. If it weren't for this headache, I would have shredded them. Enough of the truth came out anyway, that the ruling makes no sense.
This one isn't over.

Has Your Migraine Kicked In Yet ?

If you are having a migraine that's starting to interfere with your daily activities, be sure there are tens of millions suffering with you. It is likely caused by activity intensifing in Alaska, South America, and the western part of the Pacific Rim.
Cllick on the title link to see the updates at FUTUREQUAKE.

For me, this started early with my eye lashes bothering me. Does anyone else out there get this symptom ? It usually signals a nasty migraine. This one has gotten worse as the day progressed. It started with my eyelashes, then left eye, and ear.
Now, it's pretty much throbbing on that side, and the neck pain is starting.
For a couple of days I had hopes for a really good week. You know, little migraines at the worst. But, I should know better , right ?

Everyone, grab your favorite pillow, & hope it doesn't get so bad that a pillow is painful too. Keep your pain meds close with a big glass of water, or milk for the stomach. Get your ice pack frozen, dim the lights, and take it easy on yourselves.

Moderate Headache * How About You ?

This one is on the left side, from the temple, left eye, upper back jaw, and behind my ear. This sounds awful, I know. It's that level of pain that slightly throbs through the pain meds.
It started very mild, and tonight it has gone to moderate. It started Thursday, after a couple of hours of mild pain on the right side.
The left side of my neck is feeling the twinges, and that is really annoying. A little muscle pain ointment helps with that, if you get this symptom.
This migraine, and hopefully yours, shouldn't get much worse, with a peak tomorrow evening.

If you have migraines, then you know that while these mild to moderate type impair your function somewhat, most people only see what looks like worry, and lack of sleep on your face. Or, maybe they notice you having a hard time reading, the migraine blur.
If you are like me, this is the level of migraine that those around us rarely notice. My mother always asked, which I appreciated. But if no one sees you take a pain pill, they don't know you aren't feeling well.

If you haven't noticed, try putting the ball of your foot down slightly ahead of the heel, and distribute the footstep. It can help minimize a mild headache, and make walking across a room with a bad one less likely to intensify the pounding.

Have a good weekend. Be sure and pin the Guest Map with your country location, and post up.
