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. 

Friday, January 1, 2021

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.
