Yet another one

Yesterday was not a bad day. I had a relatively mild sinus headache. Today, I woke up feeling pretty good, but my around noon, I started getting a headache. I thought it was another sinus headache, but after taking 3 sinus tylenol, I took some Aleve around 2. There was still no improvement, it remained around a 3 or 4 on the annoyance scale. Finally, around 5, I had to break down and take an Imitrex that finally cleared up the migraine by around 9 or 10pm.

No Rebound

I stayed home from work today as I was pretty tired this morning, which often happens they day after I have a bad migraine. Luckily, there was no rebound headache today! Always a good thing! Was able to do an hour of yoga too!

Headache at Work

Had a good day on Monday with no problems. I had a few handfuls of M&Ms Monday night and it must have been too much. I felt good when I woke up, but by 8:30am Tuesday morning, I had a pretty bad migraine setting in. By 9, in addition to the headache, I was having nausea and my vision was getting messed up. I took an Imitrex and 3 Aleve and by around noon, I felt much better. By afternoon, I felt all better. I will limit myself to one small handful of about 7 or 8 M&Ms from now on and not have them on back to back nights. If I continue to get the migraines every time, or even occasionally, I will cut them out all together.

Weekend report

Woke up Saturday with a headache that I would put at around a 3. It was pretty irritating and as the morning went on, it got gradually worse until I would put it at around a 4. At noon, I was fighting off taking anything for it, so I used the neti pot. It seemed to work and by around 4:00, the headache had pretty much disappeared.

On Sunday, I felt much better. Even after having a handful of M&Ms on Saturday evening. Today I had some more of them, so hopefully I will feel ok in the morning. Went to Barry's Super Bowl party and had 2 gluten free hot dogs that I have never had before, so hoping that does not affect me either

Another good day, even went out with friends after work

Thursday was a good day! No headache whatsoever all day long! Does not happen often, but when it does I am very thankful. I even felt well enough to go out for some drinks after work with some friends! Another rarity. Had 4 drinks and feel a bit tipsy. I generally do not do well the day after I have any drinks, so we will see how I feel in the morning.. here's hopin!
