Woke up this morning with a headache behind my right eye this time. *exhales* It may have to do with how I slept or something. Maybe in a bad position? As my right shoulder and side of my neck are sore. So yah...probably sleep related. 

Trying to make it go away but since I can't exactly take Excedrin when I'm currently taking Advil...who knows if I'll be able to. Heatpacks haven't helped yet, neither has caffeine...so gonna try a shower next and maybe going back to bed. 

 Had a slight stress headache today...though it may be slightly hormonal as well because it's once again behind my left eye, but since it started at work...it's probably stress related as well. 

 Woke up with a migraine behind my left eye this morning which is by far not the best birthday present to give myself. *shakes head* I was able to make it go away with rest and some meds and heatpacks. So there's that at least. 

 I ended up with a slight headache at work today.

Part of it could be the fact that I stayed up until 3 am last night and slept until my alarm went off (with a small disturbance at like 8am for an Amber Alert) for me to go to work.

But I think it was mostly triggered because I ended up being the cashier on the register from 12-130 today because our official cashier ended up going home early today and we needed the coverage and I was the free body to help cover as our two stockers were needed to finish up the truck. 

And like being stuck on register isn't fun.

But it's even less fun when you have a constant stream of customers for that hour and a half.

Like the line never ended. Whenever I would get down to one person another customer would jump in line before I finished ringing up the transaction.

Which on the one side was great because it meant I wasn't going to be standing there bored waiting for someone to come check out.

On the other side it meant that I had to be 'on' for a full hour and a half. Which meant constant interaction. Constant chatter. I had to be social and couldn't just escape away from the register to go to a different corner of the store.

*exhales*

So yah, pretty sure that triggered my headache behind my right eye.

I took a couple of excedrin and a couple of breaks to try and make it go away but it's still lingering a bit. 

 I ended up getting my second dose of the Covid Vaccine on June 11th. 

Ended up with one of those 'tired' headaches behind my eyes where you feel so tired that your eyes hurt. 

Since then I've had a slight headache basically every day though I think most of them were caused by the heat wave we've been going through since it's been reaching 100 and over this week.

And when you're working 8 hours a day doing a closing shift in a building with soso ac and while still wearing a mask...yah...I've ended up with a headache behind my right eye from the tension in my neck.

Which again. Could be heat related, but could also be vaccine related as I got the shot in my right arm -as I am left handed- and the muscles were tense on my right side.

Though the migraine I got late June 17th/Early June 18th is probably hormonal in nature as it was behind my left eye.

I've spent a lot of the week mostly sleeping and taking hot showers/baths in attempts to get the headache to go away. Meds haven't really been working this time around and again most of the headaches are probably heat/ tension induced. 

So I'm looking forward to a day off and staying in the cool darkness and hopefully avoiding triggering yet another headache. 

 The muscles in the right side of my neck started getting tense today towards the end of my work shift. Been taking Excedrin to stay on top of it but I think the stress and the heat here have contributed to a slight ache forming behind my right eye. Nothing major. Getting some real food after my shift seems to have helped it a bit. 

 The migraine was back this morning when I woke up. Aching behind my left eye.

I ended up taking excedrin and another long hot bath to try and make it go away.

Even delayed going into work a couple of hours to ensure that my headache was fully gone before I went in tonight as I didn't want to suffer again with another migraine. Thankfully I was able to get it gone before I went into work. So yay. 

 Woke up with a migraine behind my left eye. 

Probably triggered by the stress of the day before. But since it's behind the left eye...it could be hormonaly related as well.

It probably also had to deal with the knowledge that I would be spending the entire holiday at work dealing with customers.

Tried to keep the migraine at bay but meds weren't working. Could make it fade a bit by taking breaks and resting my eyes.

But by the time the night ended my migraine was much worse. 

To the point where breathing wrong could set off my gag reflex because my head was aching so much. 

I was tense enough that my arms were tingling. 

I ended up taking a long hot bath for like an hour which helped to relax my muscles enough to get the tingling arms to go away and the headache to finally leave so yay. 

 May have finally broken the migraine cycle. We'll see what the morning brings.

But apparently hitting the pressure points in my arm....

As well as grabbing my usual order at Wendy's....seems to have done the trick on getting my migraine to fade and my muscles to relax.

So like...I either needed a really deep massage.

Or I needed a specific nutrient found in my Wendy's order to finally break the migraine's grip on me. 

In either case. I'm crossing my fingers that this will finally be the end of it.

Until the next time the migraine strikes....

 Still having to deal with the stupid headache. It just likes to hover behind my right eye. Pretty sure it's caused by my neck/shoulder muscles being tense but literally nothing I've been trying to do to get it to relax has helped. It remains tense. It remains aching. At this point i'm resigned to having the migraine for a full nother week because it just keeps returning every day.

 Since Wednesday I've had an off and on migraine that's switched between hovering behind my left eye to hovering behind my right eye. 

Pretty sure stress or hormones triggered it, but despite trying basically everything to get the migraine to fully go away...nothing has helped. 

It keeps coming back despite me trying all the safe combination of meds I could, naps, heat packs, massages, food, water, caffiene, showers etc....

Migraine has remained constantly present. XP

I feel like I need a vacation away from people. 

 It's probably the late hour I went to bed, the restless sleep I had, and then the early hour at which I got up to go to work....but ended up with a slight headache behind my right eye today due to tense muscles in my neck. Thankfully taking some Excedrin helped it to fade away pretty quickly. Though it's threatening to come back because my neighbor is playing music so loud I can feel the bass from his music through the walls of my house like a second heartbeat in my chest and it's getting on my nerves. 

 Been having headaches off and on for the past week or so for mostly stress related reasons  but didn't really have the energy to write them down here. 

But I ended up with a brief headache/migraine behind my right eye today after three young kids decided to host their own mini concert with the squeaky dog toys up by the register.

They squeaked them for a good ten minutes straight loud enough that the workers at the register couldn't hear themselves talk. XP 

I wasn't anywhere near it but the noise itself echoed around the store and got on my nerves which tensed my muscles up and caused a headache to form. 

Took a few hours but managed to make it go away again so at least it didn't last the entire day. 

 Currently dealing with a slight headache that's been pulsing a bit behind my right eye.

It's probably mostly due to me not sleeping well last night as I think the tension of yesterday prevented me from being able to relax and just rest and sleep. 

Been taking some more Excedrin and eating food and drinking some mountain dew to hopefully keep it from becoming worse. We'll see though.

 Had a slight tension headache begin to form behind my eyes today because I had to deal with a rather stressful situation with an antagonized customer that left my coworker in tears and me just trying to make nice and the stress of that tensed up my neck which began to tense up my other muscles in my head.

But thankfully an Excedrin and drinking more liquids and eating some food once I got home from work appears to have negated the headache so yay.

 Ended up with a slight headache behind my left eye today while I was at work.

Which was rather irritating because I'm pretty certain that I could have made it go away quickly if I'd been able to take Excedrin. 

But I had taken a Tylenol/Aleve combination like not even an hour or so earlier to try and help relax my muscles as they've been rather achy for the past week now it feels like. And I was trying to get them feeling less sore.

But you can't take Excedrin if you've take Aleve because they work along the same pathways.

So instead I had to rely on Mountain Dew to try and use the caffeine to get rid of my headache that was forming. Also tried what I could to massage my shoulder while I was work...and well get distracted by work because often if I get distracted from my headache it goes away on its own.

It worked thankfully as I would only now be able to take my Excedrin if I still needed it.

 I woke up just after midnight this morning with a pounding headache behind my left eye.

Which I'm not too surprised by as I tend to get hormonal related headaches right before and right after my period, but it's rather irritating all the same to have it occur.

I know it's more than likely hormonal related because those ones usually always occur behind my left eye and my left eye/left shoulder were aching like crazy.

There were potential other factors involved as well though. 

Like it was Fast Sunday yesterday so I didn't eat as much as I usually do.
I also went to church yesterday so yay social stress.
I also drove up and down from my Grandma's home and driving can always tense up my muscles.
And I socialized with family in the sun for a good couple of hours.

So yah. There were plenty of other potential factors to also trigger this migraine. 

And unfortunately it wasn't a beast that could be slayed by just sleeping.

I ended up going to bed at like 10pm last night and as I said earlier woke up after 12 then again around 2 then at 230 and I think at like 4 something before my alarm woke me up at 530 to go to work for my 6am shift.

*exhales*

I tried all sorts of medicines, heat packs, caffeine, showers....no dice.

It was really only after I got to work and grabbed a mountain dew that it started to fade away. *exhales*

But yah...not a good day for me.

 I woke up sometime before 3 am this morning with a major migraine behind my left eye.

I'm pretty sure it was triggered by not getting enough sleep the night before and being unable to take a nap without getting interrupted. It probably could have also been the stress of work the past couple of days that also helped to trigger it.

In any case. I took an Aleve and a Tylenol and a long hot shower before crashing with a heatpack on the couch upstairs until my alarm went off. 

While the headache was faint when I woke back up, it ended up coming back while I was at work. Unfortunately due to circumstances I couldn't leave early, so I ended up surviving by drinking a coke and taking a couple of breaks and just trying to distract myself with work.

Once I got home I ate a couple of tuna fish sandwiches to get some more food in me, had a bit of mountain dew and took a 2 hour nap before grabbing an Excedrin and then taking a long bath to soak my aching muscles in the heat. 

Currently the headache's finally managed to fade. But we'll see if it stays gone tomorrow. 

 I had a headache behind my right eye for most of the day today. I'm guessing due to sleeping the wrong amount or reading too much before work....Excedrin helped it to not be too bad throughout my work shift and it was basically gone by the time I got home. 

 Woke up with a slight headache behind my left eye today. Probably because I didn't get the right amount of sleep...aka I slept too long? Who knows. 

I do know that my muscles have been rather sore, probably from the tension of yesterday's closing shift, and while taking some Tylenol and Aleve seems to have helped take at least the edge off of the soreness...the headache behind my left eye still remains. Hopefully I can make it go away at some point today but who knows when that will happen. 

 Another slight headache behind my right eye today. *exhales* It did go away at some point while I was at work...probably when I got distracted away from it. But yah not fun to have to deal with. 

I ended up with another headache behind my right eye this afternoon.

I'm pretty sure it's probably a sleep deprivation headache of some sort.

As I had a 5am shift at work this morning.

And getting up at 4:30 is not a normal thing for me. Like...until the pandemic started I was used to getting up at like 5:30 or so for a 6 or 6:30 shift.

But with the pandemic? 

No most of my shifts start around the same time the sun rises.

So getting up a couple of hours before the sun.

Is so weird. And it throws me off.

Like...I do best if I can expect a consistent schedule. A consistent pattern. 

And whenever i throw that pattern off in some manner...like working a 5am shift.

I usually end up paying for it with a headache. 

This one was probably just sleep related. Like going to bed earlier...and waking up in the middle of the night...and going back to bed...and then getting up before the sun....yah it messed with me.

And I really probably could have headed it off earlier if I could have just crashed right after work.

But my phone conspired against me by constantly buzzing with notifications when I was trying to sleep and only when I was trying to sleep.

So I ended up tensing up. The muscles in my neck getting sore....and walla. Headache. XP

I tried to head it off with food, with mountain dew, with a heat pack.

But it was more of a a long hot shower and then an aleve that at least helped the muscles relax enough that the headache is faint. Barely a hint in my head.

But still there.

And probably won't leave until I can actually get some proper sleep tonight. 

 I ended up with a headache behind my right eye for most of today. 

I'm pretty sure it was triggered when I got startled awake this morning at like 7:30 am when I received a text message.

As I woke up long enough to glance at it to make sure it wasn't an emergency before rolling over and going back to sleep.

And I'm pretty sure the disturbance to my sleep through off my sleep cycle and I didn't sleep the right amount and that triggered the ache behind my right eye. 

It probably could be not eating properly as I ended up barely grabbing anything to eat before darting off to work. 

And the headache persisted for at least half my shift before I was able to make it go away.

Probably from a combination of a) Tylenol b) Coke c) Heatpack d) quick snack e) quick nap.

As after I took that brief ten minute nap the headache did noticeably decrease and went away entirely sometime after I took my lunch break. So woot.

Glad I was able to make it go away. Especially because I ended up stuck on register more often than not and it's hard to keep up the 'I'm perfectly fine" act in front of customers if you have a headache pounding away behind your eye. 

 I ended up with a nuclear migraine last night.

More than likely it's the monthly hormonal one. But it was probably triggered by a) not sleeping well the night before b) surviving off of mostly mountain dew and junk food all day and c) trying to multitask between watching a show and writing.

I ended up taking a Tylenol and Aleve after trying to sleep it off failed and then took a long shower after that to try and get my muscles to relax a bit before the meds kicked in. Managed to make it go away around 1am ish maybe? Who knows....at least I managed to get a handful of hours of sleep....

Managed to keep the migraine from coming back this morning but ended up having one behind my right eye bug me off and on throughout the day. Most of that was related to emotional stress and would come and go so it wasn't a major one....but still...kinda annoying. 

I actually didn't get woken up early via managers this morning because I had to actually wake up early to go to work. So no morning migraine greeted me this morning! Woot!

Unfortunately, a stupid yappy dog that came into the store today and barked for a good hour straight while it was in it's training class....triggered the muscles in my neck to grow tense as I am sensitive to sounds. Specifically repetitive sounds. repetitive loud sounds. 

I tried to head it off by taking a Tylenol, but unfortunately the damage was done and I ended up with a headache behind my right eye for the rest of my work shift and into the night. Which was unfortunate as i was having a movie night with friends and it made it difficult to fully enjoy the evening when there was this faint pounding constantly behind my right eye. But at least I was able to participate in the movie night. So woo for that. Hopefully getting some sleep will help the headache to finally go away. We'll see. 

 Got woken up by my managers again early this morning, which is probably part of the reason why I had another migraine triggered this morning behind my left eye. 

Unfortunately, like yesterday's migraine, it too refused to go away before I had to go into work. I was able to keep it mostly at bay with meds and caffeine. But it didn't fully go away until after my roommate brought me some Taco Bell and eating a soft beef taco with the nacho fries and a Baja Blast and then taking like a ten minute nap had it fade completely away by the time I got off my lunch break. So woot!! :D 

 Woke up with a migraine behind my left eye today, which is not the best thing to wake up to when you have a midday shift. *exhales* I think being startled awake by my fellow managers texting me early in the morning may have triggered it, but I'm also thinking it's a hormonal related headache as well since it is behind my left eye.

I tried to keep up on Excedrin and drinking caffeine to keep the migraine at bay, but I ended up having to leave work early tonight because the migraine kept roller coastering between being tolerable to intolerable. 

I grabbed some Arctic Circle after work in the hopes that some hot food would help it go away, but in the end it seems like a two hour nap helped it to finally fade away as I felt much better after waking up from that. 

 I've had a headache behind my right eye for most of the day today. Pretty sure it's stress related since we've been prepping for the DM to come by to visit. And having the managers be stressed for various reasons is never good for my own stress levels. 
I've been surviving off of Excedrin and some Dr. Pepper though I do think the sugar content isn't helping at the moment, so I worked more to drink water instead as the headache seemed to spike after drinking the soda. 

 I've had a headache behind my right eye for most of the day. *exhales* It seems rather typical for my day off. Excedrin has helped it to fade but it's remained present for most of the day. Heat packs also have only done so much to relieve the tension in my neck. 

 Had a headache behind my right eye today. It was faint and when I finally took an excedrin it seemed to go away. So woot. 

 Ended up with a migraine behind my left eye today at work. I'm thinking it's because I stressed myself out checking the news and probably not sleeping the right amount or eating well.

As I lived off of mostly mountain dew and a chocolate chip muffin. And it seemed like my migraine spiked with every sip or bite I took throughout the day. 

I ended up taking two excedrin when I got home, made a blt, drank water, took a long shower to relax my muscles and then crashed for a couple of hours.

Seemed to have helped. Though as the night has progressed I've had a slight headache start behind my right eye. *exhales*

 Still been dealing with migraines. XP Not sure what I need to be doing to fix them, but it's getting annoying that it's been pretty constantly coming around. 

The main irritation of the past two or three days was that I accidentally plugged up my right ear. And I think the stress of not being able to hear properly from said ear tensed up my neck and shoulder so that's been rather sore.

Thankfully I had no headache yesterday. But Saturday and Friday I definitely had ones lurking behind my right eye. XP 

Today was still residual tension from the clogged ear though I think I finally got my ear back to normal...so I'm hoping that with some rest and heat on my shoulder that it will relax and I'll be able to have a better day at work tomorrow.

We'll see. 

 Been dealing with more headaches for the past threeish days...

And I was beginning to think it was my contact causing the constant ache behind my right eye and in my shoulder.

But no...I'm pretty sure I discovered the culprit.

A culprit I should have pinpointed earlier since I've pinpointed it as a culprit before.

But I hadn't really been thinking about it you know?

In any case. Today my migraine got rather bad at work. Bad enough to leave early.

And I came home originally planning to rest (which is hard to do when everyone suddenly decides to text you when you lay down to sleep)

When I decided to switch to a different bra as I had the thought cross my mind that maybe the current one was too tight in some way.

Go figure.

Pretty soon after switching to a different one....my headache vanished. 

*exhales* 

Gah. It would be nice if clothing wouldn't contribute to my headache woes. XP

Had a slight headache behind my right eye tonight form after dealing with a bunch of tension that tensed up my neck as work was crazier than expected. Thankfully getting a heat pack on it after work helped it to go away. 

Ended up with minor headaches the past couple of days though they've been mostly fixed with taking Excedrin and drinking Caffiene.

The one today though has been stubborn.

I don't know if it's just from getting the wrong amount of sleep, or being on my computer most of the day, or not eating/drinking the right amount of food. But I currently have a headache taking up residence behind my right eye.

Not the best way to start out the new year.

And I can only hope that sleep will help it go away.

But we'll see.
