I had a slight headache start late last night around midnight behind my left eye as I was trying to focus on finishing a story. Since it was getting worse I decided to call it a night and head for bed.

Unfortunately the headache turned into a nuclear migraine during the night and proceeded to wake me up every hour or so. I tried to take a 4 am shower, tried heat packs, coke, tylenol, sleep...nothing helped it.

And it got bad enough to the point where I ended up making friends with the toliet...so no fun.

The worst of it had faded by around 830 this morning so I did my best to go to work and try to keep the migraine at bay, but it steadily got worse as we neared the lunchtime hour and by the time the afternoon crowd came in, I was done for the day. I ended up coming home, warming up my heat pack again, popped a couple of advil and took a good hour nap.

It seems to have helped, especially after getting some real food into my stomach as well after surviving the morning on just crackers and granola bars.

Hopefully it stays away the rest of the night so I can enjoy Halloween...but we'll see.
