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.

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.
