Migraines SUCK

Saturday night I was sitting on the floor in my living room flipping back and forth between Fox and Fox Sport SW. My Astros were playing the first game of the world series and my Baylor Bears were playing OU. My next door neighbor was asleep on the floor while his two year old daughter was helping me cut out coupons by throwing away all the scraps while singing "Clean Up Clean Up."

About the time the Baylor game was over (after they barely lost to OU in double OT, can you believe it?) my head was killing me. It literally felt like I had been bopped over the head with Gallagher's Sledge-O-Matic. This headache continued all night long and by Sunday I didn't want to get out of bed. I did get up and did some laundry and homework. The smell from the bleach after washing my chef's uniform and the lights from the computer monitor ... I got where I couldn't do much without holding my head.

I got up early Monday morning and called in sick and then went back to bed. I slept until about 10 am and then I proceded to take a nap from about 2pm - 6pm. I missed work, and my Purchasing and Cost Control class and my Asian Cuisine class. The one night that our menu included good stuff like Won Tons, Won Ton Soup and Sweet n Sour Pork, I had to have a migraine from hell.

I think its just time for a lobotomy.

I get those too. I finally went to a Neurologist and he prescribed Keppra for
prevention and Frova for the onset. The bad part is Frova takes about 3 hours to
kick in but it will last for 3 days. I usually take the Frova and then Excedrin
Migraine for immediate relief and it seems to help. The regimen seems to be
working so far. Maybe check into some other options besides the lobotomy. Just a
thought.

Yeah, migraines bite. I often say I'd feel fine if I could just cut off my head.
