Migraines

Most of you know that I get migraines. Today was a bad one. I ended up laying back down twice today to try and get myself rested, pain free and able to go shopping. For some reason my medication didn't work as well as it usually does. Maybe it was just really a whopper and I should have doubled up.

I've found that if I don't do my grocery shopping on the first day after I get paid, it's too easy to buy fast food, junk and day-to-day dinners. It works so much better for me to plan ahead and buy groceries for a 2-week period. I spend less and I don't come home from work everyday wondering what to fix for dinner. It's all planned out.

I did finally do the shopping and am feeling much better. Some days are like this. I had plans to do so much artwork. I was going to go to a fabric/craft store to buy items to make wrapper designs for my sister's goat milk soap she will be selling this fall. I also planned to do several ATC's and at least one watercolor painting. I didn't get any of it done.

Stay tuned. I'll be back....bright eyed and bushy tailed!

I'm sorry you suffered from a migraine today...I know all about migraines. I just found out this week that my insurance company will no longer cover my migraine medicine so now I have to go to another medicine...damn insurance companies. How can they dictate what medicines we should take? I'm really mad cuz the Zomig was working really well for me.

i don't often get them but when i do, it is hellish...i find that taking a fast working laxative or an enema immediately sorts it out ....hope you are feeling better by now.

How awful. I have a friend that has migraines. She has to avoid certain foods such as chocolate and caffiene. I hope you get to feeling well soon.

Poor Patty. Get to work on my stuff. Stop that dilly dallying and blaming it on the "migraine"

Hope you feel better soon. I have been having headaches, but I know they are due to cleanching my teeth at night. One time I woke up with a cracked tooth crown, because of that tension.

Your optimism even in the pain and suffering is good. I hope you will be back "bright eyed and bushy tailed" very soon.
