Restless Night

I'd thought I had had the headache handled yesterday.
But I didn't.

It tenaciously stuck around the entire day while I was focused on writing.
Fading here and there,
But never entirely gone.
It would increase in strength.
I would take measures against it.
It would decrease for a lil bit....
And then return.

Which meant...
That I was more than likely in for a bad night.
A night where the Nuclear Headache strikes.
Because when these types of headaches last and last.
It usually means that sleep is not going to help at all.

Though I always hope it will. 

As I predicted.
So it happened.

The Nuclear Headache struck.

Pain. Pounding away within my head.
My body shaking.
My teeth chattering.
My heart pounding.
My lungs shuddering. 
My stomach rolling.

It was a tsunami I had to hold onto and just pray that I would survive. 
Heat wasn't helping.
Shower wasn't helping.
Meds wasn't helping.

I was too tense.
Too shaky.
But thankfully...
It too did pass. 
Leaving a bitter taste in my mouth and shaky limbs as I reminder...these things aren't friendly.
