The migraine went nuclear last night.
I ended up taking a 2 am shower to try and relax my muscles back down.
But the stabbing pain behind my left eye refused to be relaxed.
I ended up dozing in my room, in the living room, in the family room, waking up every thirty minutes or so because the aching in my head refused to let me rest.
I took more meds.
But couldn't really eat anything because the moment anything touched my lips my stomach would rebel against it, even though my stomach was growling like crazy.

So yah.
It was a miserable night.
Though thankfully I was feeling 'well' enough to go to work and managed to get some food down and some excedrin and grabbed a Dr. Pepper that helped to keep the headache from reforming while I was at work.

*exhales* But it's left me tired.
So tired.

Ended up with a migraine tonight.
Which I suppose was a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy that I would get one.
As I hadn't slept well last night, and I could feel the tired ache behind my eyes where I knew I needed to get more sleep or else I would end up with a migraine.

I was right.
I did try to get some sleep after I got home from work.
But I only managed about half an hour before the AC unit outside my room turned on and woke me up and it's constant whirr made it hard to go back to sleep.
And I'd hoped that half an hour would be enough to forstall the headache from coming.

It didn't.
And taking medicine and heat packs and naps and a hot shower didn't help it...and the migraine is only getting worse.
So it's unlikely that sleeping tonight will help it...if I can sleep at all that is....

I've had a slight headache behind my left eye for most of the day.
It started this morning probably from a) not getting enough restful sleep and b) reading too early in the morning before I went to work.
And it hovered throughout most of the work day because I had stressful coworkers around me for the first portion of my shift. So I was doing my best to try and keep myself calm and focused and not let their stress get to me.
Which it's hard to stay focused on anything when there's nothing to do lol. Part of the reason why I don't like evening shifts...if it's a slow day customer wise that means tasks get done so much faster and I ended up finishing the tasks we had to do like...within the first couple of hours of my shift. So booo that. 
But I'd managed to make it mostly fade by the time my shift was over....though the stress of talking to a new person after work had it coming back because ahhh new people. 
Hopefully I get a better night of sleep tonight to make the faint headache fully go away.

Think I had a lunch break with a toxic energy today.

As I was feeling fine when I went to take my lunch break.
But like...as soon as I sat down to eat my lunch.
I had a migraine strike.

And like I'd had a faint headache behind my right eye threatening to become more than a faint faint irritatation.
But as I was eating my lunch the area behind my left eye began aching like crazy.
Like migraine intense type pain just started up.

I tried to ignore it.
Close my eyes and relax.

But it seemed as time passed,
Sounds got louder.
Lights got brighter.
And my head ached further.

...Until the other two people who were taking lunch in the breakroom finished their own breaks and left.

Then the migraine faded.
The pain in my left eye vanished.
And like five minutes later when my own break finished.
I was feeling fine.

It's the weirdest thing. 
So weird. 
But I'm grateful the migraine didn't stick around.

Ended up with a headache behind my right eye while at work today.
Or maybe it slightly started before work.
I definitely woke up not feeling right and kinda figured that it would probably be because I'd end up with a migraine today.
I was right.

It was a rather lowkey one all things considered with all the potential stress I had to deal with because we had our District Manager drop by the store to visit today.
But it was just a faint ache behind my right eye....
Until about half an hour before my shift ended and it suddenly spiked.
Bleh.
At least taking an excedrin seemed to help it go away....along with a long shower and a nap after I got home from work.
It went back to being faint for most of the evening. So I was able to function at least.

I ended up with a minor migraine this morning at work because I was inundated with stress after being asked to be on register for the first half hour of the store being opened and I had to deal with multiple difficult transactions in a row.
So yah...early morning stress, added on with some irritation at unexpected issues propping up triggered a migraine to start behind my right eye that hasn't gone away all day. XP Bleh. 
At least it's stayed as a minor headache. Usually about a 1-2 on the pain scale, but meds, shower, heat packs and eating food didn't help. 
So I'm hoping that sleeping tonight will have the rest of it go away.
We'll see.

 I ended up with a headache behind my left eye today.

I'm pretty sure it's because I spent most of the day ignoring my desire to write in favor of my desire to read and my eyes probably got a bit strained.

But making sure that I got some food, took some meds, took out my contacts, and spent some time just sitting in front of my giant fishtank watching the fish helped it to fade away. So woot!

Woke up with the same headache behind my right eye that I went to bed with last night.
Took a couple of advil to see if that would help and went back to bed.

So far it seems to have done the trick.
Though I can sense the tension in the muscles in my neck as I work on writing things.
So I'm going to try and keep heat on my shoulder and hope that I don't get too tense to trigger the migraine to come back.
We'll see.
