 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.
