Bad Day No. 1 2011

Have Had Worse

Bad Day today all around.  Never made it into work.  Had to have a phenergan injection to stop the nausea.  Finally able to keep liquids down.  Hoping kidney stone #2 is now through gnawing its way through my innards.  In pain from The Legs and The Belly and The Headache.

No pain meds today as I was not sure if they are increasing the head pain and nausea while decreasing others.  I am hurting, but the blessing of the phenergan injection was that I slept most of the day again.

Am going to try my best to get into work tomorrow.  I can't afford many of these days off.  Not sure what to do.  I have things that have to be done there.  I was so hoping this year would be better, but so far it's not so great.

I had many more hives last night, will take some benedryl in a bit to see if I can make this crop go back to where ever hives come from.  I didn't think the cyclosporin was doing anything but I might have been mistaken. 

I am looking forward to getting up tomorrow and making my way to work.  Hoping it will happen! Gotta get my mojo back someway this winter.  Sigh.

Bad Headache Day 37 2009

And after such a great week...sigh

The Headache is working its way towards an extremely bad time for tonight. I am going to try to medicate in a few minutes to see if I can head it off at the pass. Since I am taking NO daily headache medication at this time, I suppose one bad day a month is almost acceptable.

I did eat some fresh peaches from a local orchard, which are no nos on the low histamine diet. Could I have woken The Headache up from its nap? I haven't been able to eliminate the tea yet either, but have done pretty well on everything else...but the peaches. Come to think of it The Hives were going great guns last night too. Hmmmm.

I have been very active this week, and did a lot of things on Saturday (yesterday) that I haven't been doing for almost a couple of years - went shopping in the big city, and ate out - then came home, and sewed on my curtain project until about midnight. The Belly was acting up - it didn't like me to eat out I think - and The Headache decided to make its old 3 AM turn for the worse. Nightmares last night about sledgehammers hitting cantalopes. Splitting headache? Gallagher fixation? Who knows!

I have had the occipital stimulator at the same setting for several days, so I changed up and switched programs and cranked up the voltage. Doesn't seem to be working its Mojo on The Headache so well today. I'm pretty sure The Headache would be a lot worse if I didn't have The stimulator on stun. I think I can head this off without an ER visit which means it's been quite a while - in fact since June - since I've had to go to the ER. Woo Hoo!

Guess I will go take my medication and vegetate for a while. I forced myself to buy groceries and cook the evening meal. I tried to distract myself by blogging earlier in the day. I flipped the settings on my friend the stimulator. Yet The Headache continues to increase.

I'm going to have to find where I lost my Mojo..I was just getting to used to having it again.

Hmmm...Maybe Austin Powers took it.
