I woke up with a migraine headache this morning. Took something, had some breakfast, then promptly upchucked it. Usually when I get a migraine the only thing I can do is try to sleep it off. I drank some ginger ale and went back to bed. Tried to sleep, but someone in the neighborhood was doing some serious buzz sawing. I dozed in between the BBZZZZZZZZ's. The headache is almost gone now, but my plans for the day were shot.
The last time I had a headache that bad was a couple of days before my lumpectomy. I had an MRI with contrast and fasting blood work that day. If I don't eat something in the morning I get a raging headache. I don't know if the contrast contributed to it, but by the time I got to the hospital for blood work, x-rays, etc., I was extremely nauseous with a full-blown migraine. The nurses had me lie down in a dark room, it was so bad. I not only got sick there, but also driving home! I had to go back the next day for the chest x-ray. That was awful. I never even got close to that kind of sick during chemo!
Aren't you glad I shared that little story with you??
