Yesterday I had the worst migraine I have ever had in my life.
I got my first migraine way back in 7th grade, coincidentally enough that is the same age that my dad got hist first one. Yes I got a lovely gene or whatever from my dad, and because of that I have headaches all the time, luckily enough though they usually are not migraines. I usually have a few headaches a week, various degrees of them that may or may not require tylenol.
With migraines I can usually catch them before they go to far and get them knocked on their ass. My peripheral vision goes to static, my arms go numb, my tongue will get fat feeling but really just numb, and the new one is that my peripherals might not be the stuff going staticy but rather right in the middle of my eyesight, fun I know.
Well Monday night I was reading before I went to bed and all of a sudden I started seeing static and coulnd't focus directly so I decided to take some Tylenol and ride it out, well it wasn't rideable so I went to sleep. Now usually sleep will take care of it as well, and if they get to far along it is really all you can do, but this one wasn't to far along, at least I thought. I woke up Tuesday morning around 6 or so a little later and it felt like my left eyeball was going to explode. I guess that is where the pressure was focused, also my right arm was numb.
Well Tuesday consisted of popping pills, sleeping, putting a cold washcloth on my head, and basically just riding it out. Finally around 3 I could function enough to be up and about, and finally after a few hours I could comfortably sit in front of a tv, which because of my recuperation is about all I can do these days. The thing that killed me is that my book is really good but I couldn't read it because when I tried to focus on the pages my head started going wonky again.
Well today is a new day and I can read, and focus, so that's nice. My head is still a bit wonky though, so that sucks, but man yesterday was fubared.
