The last few days has been really rough on my head. The migraines triggered by my cycle are getting harder and harder to get relief. They last long and they don't budge even when I take medicine for pain. I wake up to major head and neck pain. Every morning I have head pain but it either begins to ease off by noon or kicks up into high gear and ruins my day.
I am sipping some coffee and about to take some extra strength Tylenol to see if I can get some relief. I want to enjoy at least a few hours of this day with my kids. The sun is shining and it seems to be a beautiful day outside my window. It's already 1:12 pm and I need to get dressed and get things moving around here. I still have to cook and get the kids snacks for the week for school. I pray the kids go down at a decent time tonight because I can really use the rest. Enjoy the rest of this lovely day all!
God bless!

24 Hr Migraine
Good morning! October 6, 2016
9:55 a.m.
Very happy to wake up without a migraine greeting me. Tuesday was so awful, I was awakened by a thunderous migraine! It was about 4:30 a.m. when the pain woke me. I sat straight up in my bed and hit the ground running to the master bathroom! The vomiting spree has begun! I tried water but it wouldn't stay down. I tried ginger ale to soothe the tummy but no luck there. I tried Excederin Migraine to help with pain, no luck there, I tried extra strength Tylenol a few hours later but no results at all! I tried a hot cup of coffee and a hot shower, no luck there either. Not once did any relief come. Later on that evening I tried taking an Aleve Sinus D tablet and that didn't work either. My goodness, I was in agony for 24 hrs! I tried praying and pleading, then I finally faced the fact that it's a 24hr migraine flight with no layovers! I was very upset because I didn't have any time to prepare for my husband's birthday. I didn't get to make the cake or go pick up a gift. I will have to make it up to him tomorrow.

Tuesday Bluesday
Good morning!
I woke up to head pain, as usual. My back was in agony as well. I didn't even have to look out the window to know it was wet and cloudy outside. In the midst of the pain, life still must go on. I still had to get up and get my daughter ready for school. After that I took my Excederin and put on some coffee. I managed to sit and chat with my husband while sipping my coffee slowly and awaiting on some sign of relief. After about 35/40 minutes I saw no change so I just continued on with what needs to be done. I put in a load of laundry because I can't lay back down now because my other daughter is awake. It's now time to start getting her ready for school. I need a few items from the grocery store which I will pick up after she gets on the school bus. It appears that the sun is trying really hard to make an appearance. The nice breeze is feeling great coming thru nicely. Well, duty calls and I have to get busy on it. Have a blessed day all!

Pain Drained Thursday
Good evening,
I was awakened about 5:11 this morning due to migraine pain. My body was hot and my skin clammy. I sat up on the edge of my bed to collect myself before standing. I scurried over to my bathroom sink and splashed my face with cold water to try and cool down. I then proceeded to brush my teeth and then went to grab a glass of water from the kitchen. I took in as much water as I could because the vomiting spell was moving in swiftly. I felt the pressure rising like the perfect wave at a surfer competition. I ran back to the bathroom and it come rushing up and out like Niagara Falls. I had to brush my teeth yet again before attempting to go back to sleep. I texted my husband to tell him my current situation and to please bring home a Caramel Macchiato for my pain. Most of the pain is gone but it's still a little migraine residue lingering. Hoping tomorrow will be a better day. Take care and God bless!

Sunday
Rainy and chilly outside
I woke up to mega pain in my neck and head, as I do most mornings. The rainy weather is definitely not a friend of mine. I prepared to go to church this morning but the pain hinders me. I am truly tired of taking pain meds to get through; half of the time they don't work anyway. Yesterday I took two extra strength Tylenol and put a heating pad on my neck for a while to get some relief.
Being that I couldn't make it to church this morning I turn to streaming messages online. I truly enjoy Pastor Sheryl Brady, Bishop Jackie McCullough, Pastor Robert Kayanja and Pastor Liston Page. The pain may have stopped me from going to the church building but it can't stop me from getting the word of God.
Watch and be blessed!

Tuesday
Good evening,
I was looking at my Migraine forecast on my phone and it says tomorrow will be a sure migraine day. I am praying and trusting God to keep it off from me.
