Migraine Barbie has Snapped! (Photo credit: Deborah Leigh (Migraine Chick))
Sorry for the late joke this morning. I have an excuse.
All of that frowning over the weekend led to a migraine. I was in bed by one in the afternoon yesterday, waking only for the occasional Migraleve and a bowl of soup from my beloved husband. Not from him, you understand: he’s not some sort of walking chicken soup dispenser, à la hen-cow hybrid (saying cluck-moo, or coo for short. Or muck*). He poured it from a can and warmed it in the microwave; but I appreciated the love with which he did it.
*Give me a break; I have a sore head.
I couldn’t face the computer long enough to schedule a joke. If I can’t face the computer, you know I’m sick. I couldn’t even face Downton Abbey. The thought of Maltesers made me queasy. Now do you believe me?
I wanted to try Big Al’s cure – take the tablets, then a shower, with the water spraying the face – but I couldn’t lift my head long enough to find the bathroom. Sorry, Al. Next time, maybe.
This morning, the head is still aching, but functional. Normal service will hopefully be resumed tomorrow.
I promise I’ll be in a good mood. The headache says I’d better be, or else.

Re: Viv’s non-appearance to herself in the community board to the right.
I’ve got nothing. But I see you every day.

I’ve just checked: you’re not there. I’m going back to bed.

You’re a brave lassie to have posted at all. You’re getting way too many migraines: go see your dentist and ask him to check your bite – advice from the dentist in the family. If there’s eg a filling proud, that pushes your jaw cockeyed which in turn affects the something or other nerve. Simply grinding it down a bit can cure the problem.

It could be the work causing the problem. Did you have so many migraines before?

Yes 😦 They are intermittent; this is the first in a few months.

Get well soon Tilly, and if it persists, get some medical advice. Take care!!!

Morning, Petal. Poor you.
(I think that community board thingy is a changing thing… I wasn’t on it earlier, but am now, as Viv was briefly this morning. You probably have too many people on it for all to show at once.)

Hello my little Chickadee..now that explains a lot…but had you not been moooo-dy in the first place you might not have had a migraine..which only goes to show that you must either be happy, or non-shall-ont..I am sure I spelt that wrong but you know what I mean.
Somehow when you are not around , the sun disappears from the sky and black clouds loom over my well being..so in a round about way you are responsible if my day is good or bad….. so glad that you are feeling better…..I love having good days

I hope you feel better soon, shares in Maltesers have apparently plummeted.

You poor dear. I had a whopper of a migraine last week and when you have them you just wish you would die (or everyone else would–it’s a toss up). Seriously, I hope you are feeling better and can get back to Downton Abbey and Maltesers soon.

Poor you – migraines are dreadful – I speak from experience, although in the last few years I haven’t had quite so many, so perhaps it’s something you can grow out of? I hope you feel much better soon.

Oh, dearest! I suffered SO long from these. I know every “cure” on earth, some of which helped me. If you need more folk cures, just say. In the meantime, I’ll try to be very quiet so you can rest. 🙂

I do feel your pain dear. We’ve had a cloudy and rainy weekend here….. but I knew that because my head forecasted it about 3 days prior. My head always knows when it’s going to run and sometimes likes to stick around to see the rain.
I do hope you feel better soon. I generally follow the advice on the medicine bottle: Take 2……and keep away from children. 😉

My older daughter gets migraines, but I don’t, so she must have inherited the tendency from her father’s side of the family. She takes Ibuprofin (Advil, Motrin) and goes to bed in a darkened room. Next day, she is fine. Take care of yourself, Tilly. Aloha from Hawaii.
