The headache moved over to behind my right eye this afternoon after I got off work.
I'm guessing it may be eye strain, possibly just tense muscles as well as my shoulder muscles are aching too.
But meds aren't helping. Neither is heat. So gonna go try a shower and see if that helps.

I woke up with a migraine around 3 am this morning.

I'm guessing it's an effect of having fasted until 3pm yesterday.

I knew there was a possibility of me getting a migraine.
As I tend to get headaches most of the time when I fast.
But I wanted to participate in the worldwide fast.
So i went as long as I thought i could before breaking my fast.

And I thought I managed to keep myself in balance enough to avoid a headache. 

It didn't work. 

Unfortunately the headache hasn't been easy to get rid of. 

I tried Advil, Excedrin, Tylenol. Caffeine. A nap. Shower. Eating food.

And it's still there.
Fainter now.
But still pulsing behind my left eye.

Hopefully a full night of sleep will fully get rid of it....if I can sleep through the night that is....I haven't been doing that the past couple of nights either.

Ended up with a migraine today because I got frustrated from having to deal with far too many customers, with some of them being irritating in their own right, but mostly just frustrated at how many people decided that the "Stay Home" directive didn't apply to them and came into work to a) look at the animals or b) buy an animal because they're looking for a companion pet while they're stuck at home. 
So yah. I was frustrated that people aren't staying home.

Probably also ended up with the migraine because it seemed like everyone was talking quieter over the radios today so I had to strain to hear what people were saying. As I have the earpiece in my right ear and it's the area behind my right eye down the right side of my neck. So yah there's probably that.

And like stress.
Just overall stress.
Worrying about how many things i'm touching and how customers aren't realizing that they can't stand so close anymore and that I'm just like...probably walking around tense.

So yah.
No surprises whatsoever that I have a migraine today.
*exhales*

Hopefully I can get it to go away.

I've had a headache going most of the day.
Most likely caused by tension in my neck as that's been sore most of the day.
And meds and heat weren't really helping it to go away.
It was always lurking there....

Until I got distracted from it when an aftershock earthquake struck towards sunset.

*exhales* That's one way to get rid of my headache, though not really a welcome one.

Woke up with the same migraine behind my right eye that I went to bed with. *exhales* so that was...not fun.
However, I managed to get rid of it pretty early in the morning after I took a couple of Advil and took a long hot shower where I just let the water pound against my neck for forever.

So either i just needed to get my muscles to relax....or it was a combination of medicine and such that helped it.
I'm just grateful it went away.

I ended up with a headache behind my right eye again this afternoon.
I'm wondering if it's related to just like...general stress of the whole the world going crazy thing.

Though this one may have been triggered by sleeping too long?

As I did take a nap after work today.
Mostly because I wasn't feeling well.
Kinda in the "i'm so tired my body is hurting because it's so tired" way which again, since I've been getting normal amounts of rest, may just be like...the situational stress of having to deal with stressed out coworkers and stressed out customers and just...the general stressed atmosphere of the entire world at this point.

I tried taking Excedrin to get rid of the headache, as well as have heat packs on me for most of the day.
But neither really seems to have helped.
Perhaps I just need to head back to bed and hope tomorrow is less stressful.

We'll see.

Ended up with a slight headache behind my right eye again this evening.
Not quite sure what brought it on.
I'm guessing an annoyance of some sort triggered it.

It could be hormones too who knows.
But I'm thinking it won't fully go away until I get some sleep. 
So we'll see.

Friday, March 13, 2020

Fighting another headache today behind my right eye. Just from every one else's stress I think. I ventured out to buy myself a new watch and everyone around me is...stressed. So I think I just need to find some peace and quiet where I'm not around everyone else's stress. 

Thursday, March 12, 2020

Unsurprisingly, I ended up with another headache today.
Mostly because I'm just...done with people and their crazy frentic energy.
With everyone panicking and stressing over the virus, it's rather hard to fight off their manic energy so it's left me tense in the shoulders which has left me with a headache behind my right eye that isn't really going away. *exhales* 

Wednesday, March 11, 2020

Have had a small headache behind my right eye that's been off and on bugging me for most of the day. Was triggered at work, probably from the usual work stress and has just been...fading in and out. Probably due to encountering other stressors outside of work. *exhales* I need a vacation from people. That's what I need.

Tuesday, March 10, 2020

I was correct in guessing I would wake up with the migraine I went to bed with. Because I woke up with it. 
Thankfully it wasn't a nuclear headache so while irritating, I was still rather functional.
And double thankfully taking some Advil, sipping at mountain dew and just working my muscles out doing the opening tasks at work helped to make it go away before we opened! Yay!! 
Though work did it's best to try and stress me out and get the headache back, I managed to avoid that (so far) so I can be more proactive today after work rather than doing nothing like I did yesterday.

Ended up with a headache which is possibly going to be a migraine after work today. I'm not that surprised to end up with one considering that I had to work until 10pm last night and then had another morning shift start at 630 this morning. Pretty sure I just haven't had enough down time to unwind, nor did I probably eat as much food as I should have. Soooo headache here we come. Unfortunately it's the type where meds, heat, showers, sleep, aren't really helping it so I'm expecting it to last through the night and into tomorrow. We'll see if it keeps me up though.

Had a headache behind my right eye again.
It's probably due to eye strain maybe. Perhaps my contact is too strong...I'll find out whenever I get to the eye doctor next I suppose.

It could have also been caused by tension. Tension from trying to help a ton of customers. Or perhaps it was needing nutrients. As after having lunch and liquids the headache did fade away....who knows. 

Friday, March 6, 2020

Had a slight headache come on this afternoon.
I could feel it coming so I tried to eat something and drink something and take a nap...
But I probably slept too long on the nap portion because the headache was more intense when I woke back up. 
However it didn't last long as stretching out my neck seemed to help relax the tense muscles there and therefore helped the headache go away. :D

Thursday, March 5, 2020

I had a headache behind my right eye for most of the morning and afternoon today.
I think it was mostly from tense muscles as my dreams weren't that relaxing.

So pretty sure it was tense muscles.
But maybe also not eating enough food. 
As I noticed that the headache faded more after I got some more food in my system.
So it may be just that time where my body randomly craves more food.

Thankfully the headache faded by the time I got home from work. So woot.

Wednesday, March 4, 2020

I've had a headache behind my right eye for most of the day today. *exhales* 
I'm wondering if it's my contact lens causing it. Like it's making my right eye strain a bit?
Not sure.

It could also be just from...once more experiencing another's stress as my manager was texting me most of the morning about things going wrong at work--which since I had the day off, I couldn't be directly involved in it. But at the same time, I was stressing over it a bit. 

So yah....still fighting the headache.
We'll see if it goes away with some sleep. 

Tuesday, March 3, 2020

Had a faint headache form behind my right eye during work.
Which isn't surprising as returning to work after being gone for a few days is always slightly stressful. 

Thankfully taking an Excedrin and having heat on my shoulder has helped the headache fade.
But it keeps coming and going and coming and going.

So yah. Fun times. 

Sunday, March 1, 2020

Have a headache that's probably turning into a migraine that started up this afternoon.
It's probably from the stress of having to drive from Hometown to CollegeTown and back in foggy/snowy weather. Along with it being Fast Sunday. And then having my first sacrament meeting with my new ward....lots of reasons to be stressed. Been trying to take meds and heat and rest, but it's not really helping currently. At least this headache is behind my right eye currently instead of the left like last time.
