 It's been another week and a half of nearly daily migraines. XP Which is not fun. Especially over Christmas.

The one I had from Dec 23-Dec 25th was probably more hormonal related as the migraine took up residence behind my left eye instead of it's usual spot behind my right.

I may have accidentally ended up burning part of my neck after taking two very long hot showers in the same night on December 23rd as the spot was sore and the skin feels scaley to the touch. So weeee. Fun times that. 

Overall though....nothing seemed to really help make the migraine go away. Meds failed, showers failed, soda failed....

With the continuation of the headache moving to behind my right eye I may try switching out my contacts to see if that helps at all....

 I've had a migraine behind my right eye for the last twoish...maybe threeish days now. I do know that part of it is caused by my muscles in my shoulder/neck because that area has been sore since like...Friday. 

I can't tell if it's a sore from over working my muscles, or from them just being tense in general, or if they relaxed and that's why they're sore....though the 'relaxing' part only seemed to have happened this morning where the area i usually massage was not as 'rock hard' as normal. But that was after I doubled down and took 2 excedrin instead of my usual one to try and break the stupid migraine.

Part of it may also be my contacts?? as yesterday and today I didn't start feeling the headache until after I put in my right contact...so it may be that 'time of year' where my eyes decide that they don't like their current prescription and want to downgrade/upgrade. 

But considering I've been able to keep my contacts in today after taking the double excedrin dose and drinking Dr. pepper throughout the day.

It may be just tense muscles once again causing me pain. 

At least my right shoulder seems to have finally relaxed...though now my left one is acting up. *exhales* Hopefully I can keep it from causing a migraine behind my left eye from forming but only time will tell.

 Woke up with the slight headache behind my right eye that I kinda expected to have considering how tense the muscles in my shoulder and neck had gotten by the time I went to bed.  

*exhales* Unfortunately sleep didn't help it to go away. And taking Excedrin and drinking Mountain Dew only helped so much to keep the migraine from being detrimental as it lingered for most of the day at work. I've been keeping heat on the shoulder and even took a shower to see if that would help relax my muscles. It's helped a bit. The headache is gone even if the achiness in my shoulder remains...well achy.

 Had a slight headache form early this morning at work.

Mostly a) from noise sensitivity as we had a couple of high pitched barking dogs early this morning and one of my managers was speaking rather loudly into the radio which can be rather jarring. 

And b) we had our dog trainer call out today because they have a fever going...which can be a sign of the virus...and I was slightly stressing over that because I had briefly interacted with them yesterday when they dropped by to grab dog food. But it was only for a minute or two and we were both wearing masks....so hopefully I'm safe still. :S 

But yah...just early morning stress. Excedrin seems to have mostly helped it though.

 I've had a couple of minor headaches occur over the past few days. I'm thinking most of it is just the typical stress related work things as I'm dealing with customers and tasks and such, though some of it may also be a bit of eye strain as towards the end of my shift I can feel my eye aching a bit. So it may be just the contact is causing some issues as well....

 I have another headache forming behind my right eye again.

I'm guessing it's for the same reason as last night. Eye strain from my contacts. Though with how tense my shoulder also feels it could also be tension related. Or even lack of food/water related as I haven't been eating as well today as I did yesterday though I've gone and grabbed some soup and something to drink. So hopefully that helps my headache to fade. 
I'll probably end up taking my contacts out soon as well. Though we'll see how the Excedrin I also took affects the headache first.

Ended up with a headache behind my right eye this evening. I'm guessing it's mostly due to eye strain from staring at a computer screen most of the day as once I took out my contacts the headache faded pretty quickly after that point.

Okay. I caused my headache today. 

I got a bit too...idk stressed out? Overwhelmed? With indecision and a need to make things 'perfect' that I ended up tensing out my neck muscles and created a headache behind my right eye.

I was able to mostly make it go away by taking a hot shower and taking out my contacts. 

But yah. I overwhelmed myself trying to figure out just how to make everything even when it came to giving my family gifts and filling their stockings with things.
