When I started this blog I told myself it would server a small personal function to document when I had migraines and when I took medication. Not anything anyone needs to know about, but it saves me from having to keep it in a spread sheet. I write about my day in this blog anyway, so it just made sense. And yes I said I would otherwise have to keep this record in a spread sheet. The doctors tell you to do that so you know when you had one.
Well this week I have taken medication for my Migraines 3 days. Thursday I had to leave early because the drugs weren’t working and I didn’t think I was going to make it through the rest of the day. I left a little after 2PM. I went home and slept all afternoon and night.
Today I felt like I was getting one and then it never really took hold. That is good, but I felt down most of the day.
Why am I getting them? I think I know myself to know this by now. 3 reasons. 1, stress. If you know me you know what is going on at work right now. Short term bad stress, longer term things will be good. Second lack of sleep due to the stress. And lastly the one thing I cannot control; the weather. I actually get migraines from the weather change from cold to hot or vice versa. Lack of AC at work and at home is not helping. Work AC is an unknown right now. I don’t know how I can goto the office if we don’t have AC in May. As for my apartment it will get turned on when the wether gets and stays warm, or May 15. Which ever comes first. The good news is that my building has turned it on as early as April 4, 2 years ago.
