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.
