Woke up with a headache behind my left eye today.
Pretty sure it's from tension/sore muscles as my left arm/shoulder ache as well as other parts of my body...so I'm guessing I either slept tense...or I was so tense that when I relaxed as I slept I ended up sore because my muscles were so tense.
In either case...I woke up with a headache that has so far not gone away. 
Tried tylenol and advil this morning along with some mountain dew. Currently trying to keep heat on it and eat more substantial meals today because I've been basically just snacking all week due to working evening shifts. 
We'll see if it helps or not. 

Ended up with another headache today.
Which isn't too surprising considering that I had a nuclear migraine the day before.
And considering that I was woken up in the early pre-sunrise hours of the morning with a construction crew taking down the deck outside my window....I'm not surprised that the pounding and the banging and such triggered the headache/migraine today.
It didn't go away either unfortunately.
I managed to keep it fainter...but i'm guessing it was tension that kept it going into the evening as I had an evening shift today that went until close. Soooo constant headache at work wasn't the best either.
But hopefully some sleep will help it to go away. 

Still had the migraine this morning after a night of moving between the couch and the bed trying to find somewhere comfortable to rest. The headache mostly faded away with the rising of the sun, but when I fully woke up it began coming back.
But taking more Excedrin, and drinking some Dr. Pepper/Mountain Dew and then getting distracted with a bunch of tasks at works seems to have made it go away for the day.
Hopefully I can keep it away.
But we'll see. 

Ended up with a migraine today towards the end of work.
Not even sure what caused it.
Maybe there was too much of a break between the Excedrins I was taking to stay relaxed enough to tolerate having to work another evening shift full of customer service.
Maybe it was irritation at customers.
Maybe it was irritation in general.
I know it spiked after having to deal with an indecisive customer who couldn't decide what fish they wanted and they had two children throwing a screaming temper tantrum and I just wanted to go clock out because I was off right then and hadn't yet finished closing and yah... *exhales* 
So somewhere in there the migraine was triggered.
I came home and tried to relax. Sleep. Take more meds. Take a shower.
But nothing seems to be helping so I'm pretty sure it's going nuclear....we'll see if I can get rid of it through sleep, but it doesn't seem likely. 

The muscles on the right side of my neck tensed up this afternoon and refused to relax which triggered a headache to form behind my right eye. Pretty sure it's just from internal stress resulting mostly from work stresses but other worries about the state of the world as well. Hopefully some sleep helps it to go away. 

Woke up with a headache this morning behind my right eye. Probably caused by too much reading yesterday as I spent the entire day doing just that. 
Though it seems like Excedrin and a heat pack have helped the tension in my muscles to fade enough to make the headache fade away. 
Hopefully I can keep it away for my evening workshift tonight. 

The tension in my shoulder/neck is still present and has been causing a slight headache behind my right eye and despite my attempts at heat packs and Excedrin it's still not helping to make it totally go away. 

Head is still doing that 'near' headache thing. Where the muscles in my neck and down into my shoulder blades are getting tense and difficult to relax, which triggers my head to have short bursts of aching. But it's nothing that's sticking around and putting heat on my muscles seems to help and the Excedrin helps a tiny bit but not as much as I've wanted it to. 
Maybe just resting and chilling tomorrow will help it out. 

I've been fighting against a headache forming for the past couple of days. Because the muscles in my neck/right shoulder have been super tense and it's been difficult to get them to relax and stayed relaxed. So throughout the day I've been getting little zings of brief headaches that don't stick around long.
Which is semi annoying as I'm trying to function but apparently I'm stressed enough that I can't relax. *exhales* 
Hopefully I can keep a full blown headache from forming. 
Brief ones at least don't last long. 

I think I triggered my own migraine today. *exhales* which is frustrating but understandable.
I think it was triggered because I was...well focusing on the negative this morning? Focusing on complaining instead of just doing my job?

But like...it was probably also from the unexpected stress of having to deal with two reptile sales first thing in the morning.
Like who wakes up and thinks "I want to go get a snake!" and show up right as we open the doors? *shakes head* 

So I had two customers in a row needing my help. One with a ball python, another with a water dragon and like...
Both were needy in their own ways. Asking a lot of questions that I couldn't fully answer. 

It's not the best way to start the morning, not when I was trying to get opening done.

Sooo yah....I think it was just that first early stress and then just being...idk negative about the experience that may have triggered the first onset of the migraine?

Who knows for sure.
It didn't get super bad like the one from a few days ago.
But it's definitely telling when Excedrin doesn't help it to go away.
I did my best to drink water, the take my breaks and use heat packs on it. Even got out the past tense essential oil in hopes it would relax my tensed up muscles.

No dice.
I did manage to make it go away in the end though.
After I got home from work and made myself a sandwich and ate a bit more food, drank some mountain dew, took a long hot shower, and more Excedrin and took a twenty minute nap...it helped. 

So yay for that.
Still.
Not fun that I've been triggering the migraines more this week. XP 

I honestly am not quite sure how I ended up with today's migraine.
Like...it's probably mostly having to deal with lack of sleep is my guess....since I've been getting less sleep than normal this entire week compared to the last month....so that's probably a trigger. 

Today's headache was behind the left eye. And with the left side of my neck and shoulder being tense...stress is probably a factor...though I'm not quite sure what the stress was over....
Maybe it's just a cumulation of having worked 7 days in a row. And I'm just...tired...like exhausted mentally, physically, emotionally...and this was my body's way of complaining over the fact that I've worked too hard this past week. 

I could see that.
In any case.
Sleeping did seem to help my headache while I was at work.
I ended up taking my two fifteens earlier and then a lunch a little later and just spent all the breaks basically sleeping with a heatpack.
which seemed to help over all. At least to mellow the headache out for a little while so I could focus for an hour or so before needing to take another break.

Excedrin also seemed to help it a little.
Though strangely drinking dr pepper this time around didn't seem to help at all. It felt like my headache would get worse after taking a sip...but mountain dew seems to be helping instead. *shakes head*

In any case.
I came home and took a longer nap before taking a long hot shower where I just let the water pound on my shoulder and rested some more...and it seems to have helped the headache go away! So woot!
Hopefully I can keep it at bay again. 
Though I do plan to spend tomorrow just resting and not doing much so as to let myself recover. 

Ended up with a headache behind my right eye today though taking some Excedrin seems to be helping it to go away. 
Pretty sure it's a combination of sleep deprivation and stress that contributed to today's headache.

Sleep deprivation because I've gone back to earlier shifts but am still going to bed at the same time...so I'm getting less sleep and I've decided I probably need at least 7 hours to get enough sleep...and I'm averaging 5-6 right now and haven't really taken any naps the past few days soooo yah sleep deprivation is probably contributing. 

And stress is mostly from dealing with customers. 
But also because we had received news first thing this morning that there could have been a protest coming our way.
Not to our store. But like passing by our store. 
It was mostly a rumor of a rumor sort of thing. But we needed to go over what to do if the protests got violent. If people decided to storm the store and free the animals or something.

So yah. That was stressful wondering if we would have people marching by our location. If they'd break away to come into the store.
But like...nothing happened. 

Still. Apparently I was stressing over it as again, headache.

But yah.
It's been a day.
