Woke up with a migraine behind my right eye today.

I'm guessing I slept stressed...or tense...or well didn't let my muscles relax before I went to bed as I had been doing a bit of cleaning right before as I decided to clean my fish tank that I've been semi-neglecting for the past couple of months. Oops.

But that's at least squeaky clean.

What isn't 'squeaky clean' is definitely my headache. 

I was a bit more limited in my usual methods of trying to chase it away, as Daddoo has recommended that I take Aleve morning and evening to try and help the tension in my muscles as the Tylenol and Excedrin and occasional Advil I have been using were only treating the 'surface tension' and so he wanted me to take Aleve for a week to get those muscles relaxed down.

Of course...this recommendation never lasts longer than like...two or three days (today is the third day) before a get a headache.

So I do wonder if my body doesn't like Aleve.....

In any case. Because I had taken Aleve I couldn't take Excedrin or Advil until after the Aleve wore off this evening. Leaving me to take a single tylenol and to rely on drinking caffeine (first Mountain Dew, then Coke) and having a heat pack on my shoulder/neck when I took my breaks at work and use those breaks for a nap.

It helped off and on. Kinda like a roller coaster with the ebb and flow of the migraine.

Thankfully, with me now able to finally take an Excedrin, it seems to be doing the trick to getting the migraine to go away.

So hopefully it behaves and I won't have to worry about having the migraine continue into tomorrow. We'll see.
