 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.
