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.
