Migraine Barbie has Snapped! (Photo credit: Deborah Leigh (Migraine Chick))
I was awake early this morning. My head insisted on it. It banged on my skull with a hammer on one side and a brick on the other and said, I’m going to your stomach next, if you don’t take some paracetamol.
It wasn’t a migraine, in spite of the nausea, because I was still able to function.
Or, it was a migraine, but Al’s tip worked: take your painkiller of choice and a shower in the face to follow. I tried it; the ache eased. That or, because I screw up my face so tight against the spray, the ache slipped out of my ears. And the Hub says I’ve got nothing between them…
so sorry to hear this, I have never had a migrane, so don’t know how it feels, but i have heard they are very painful
Thankfully, mine don’t happen that often. Some people really suffer with them, and they are so debilitating.
Sorry for the head banger, hopefully you get some relief soon!
Thanks
I hope that it goes away for good and doesn’t linger. Mine lingered for days and it was mighty unpleasant. A compress on the brow would feel nice I’m sure and the Hub perhaps can rub your feet if he is so inclined. Feel better.:)
Does rubbing the feet help?
Awful. I’m so sorry. I hope the pain lessens, soon.
As a migraine sufferer…..I do feel your pain. I don’t take any special medication – just follow the advice on the Tylenol: take 2 and keep away from children
feel better!
You are back in the spam box again. I don’t know what WP has against you.
Hope it doesn’t linger….nothing worse than starting the week off in pain…wait…that’s called a job…never mind…hope you feel better soon.
I do now! Thanks for the giggle
Glad it didn’t develop, and that the treatment worked. Hub is quite wrong – you have a great deal between the ears.
Poor Hub – he’s blamed for a lot of things he never said, you know
My wife gets migraines. They stop her in her tracks. I am fortunate. The only time I endure blinding headaches coupled with nasuea is after way too many beers or a combination of beer and something stronger.
Sorry to hear about your pain.
Tim
Thanks Tim. Sorry to hear about your wife. Tell her to give Al’s tip a try. The pain didn’t go but it definitely eased.
I woke up with a splitting headache too!
Great minds really do ache alike!
Poor Hook! Feel better soon.
Thanks, but its been a hellish day at work….
Aren’t they all?
Some are worse than others!
I was always told to drink loads of water.. Hate taking pills!!!
Yes, dehydration will give you a headache. I do drink a lot of water so I don’t think it was that.
Perhaps one unfortunate spider got trapped in the hair, then went through your blood stream somehow……..I’m sorry — I couldn’t get your previous spider post out of my mind.
You’ll be back soon.
Laughing at comments like this will help
Hope your’e feeling better now, Tilly.
I did that deliberately!
That sounds horrible! I hope you’re feeling better now.
Is it gone yet?
do hope that all the pain has gone…I don’t like it when you are poorly
Sorry to hear about this, Tilly. I hope you’re feeling better now.
I had a migraine on Saturday. Maybe that’s why I wrote such a depressing post. Migraines are no fun. They suck. I hate them and I have been having them with increasing frequency lately. Lack of sleep, weather fronts, stress all contribute.
SHOWER POWER!
Your pal, Dr. Al
