Apparently when the barometer drops...no mater if its for rain, snow, or ice...its a headache trigger for me.
I woke up at 3am with worsening pain on the right side and a pounding below my right eye...which is different than my normal. I usually have pain BEHIND the eye.
The ice had coated all of the trees next to and around our house (see pic above) and the branches were all so heavy at this point that they had started to fall, and sheets of ice had begun to slide off of the roof as well. It sounded like bodies were either falling and hitting my roof, or creatures of the night were clawing their way in. Ugh.
I tried a new medication that I was given last week, Visteril. It didn't make me sleepy, as I had hoped for...but it has seemed to help with the pain and nausea. THANK JEEBUS. The last place in the world that I wanted to be on a day like today is the ER!!!
I finally fell asleep around 4am and slept until noon and have been awake since then. Its now almost 6pm. May not sound like much to you, but that's a huge accomplishment to me! I have also been up cleaning my office all day, and have managed to do a few things like contact the douche bags at unemployment, fill out MORE forms for UVA, and submit an Initials Inc order!
That's more than Ive done in several weeks, people!
I could get used to this!!
