too much pain, no gain
whoever mistakenly told me a migraine is an ailment which doesn't require medical attention should be hanged, decapitated and pounded to bits.
after 29 peaceful years of living with three constant pains in my life - my monthly due, my paycheck and birthgiving (twice is more than enough thank you), i have finally experienced how it is to have migraine. mind you, it sounds relatively light. migraine- almost painless...
well it started sometime last tuesday when i woke up and felt like i've just been on a trainwreck. i was fatigued and my skull felt like splitting up. my eyeballs were also heavy and drooping. (not a pretty sight). since i've been having headaches on and off for the past few days i tried to brush this off as something that would vanish with a quick shower. well i've dunked my head in a tubful of water and still it didn't work.
went to the office and that's when my agony started. the pain intensified, its throbbing quality being punctuated by flashes of light. it got worse whenever i sneezed and lowered my head. i said whoa! what do we have here? thinking i still got things covered, i downed a quick painkiller. an hour later, i felt ready to collapse. along with the terrible pain, i was feeling nauseauous, so much so that i started thinking if im going back to breastfeeding sessions pretty soon.
i had no idea on what to do since my first recourse (pain reliever) failed. so i tackled the internet and researched on migraine. and presto! mine is a classic case. down pat to the blurred vision and vomiting.
its been three days now and im still in hell. went on sick leave hoping i'd get better after my check up to no avail. this damn headache has stuck to me like a glue. i haven't been sleeping, i haven't been eating and i wake up wanting to bash my head into something pretty hard so that i'd feel something different.
that chubby doctor from the hospital told me i should make an appointment with a neurologist. i didnt like the sound of that. sue me, but the term makes me imagine being an alien abductee with creatures poking and probing my brain.so i figured ill wait it out. if the pain wins, ill see the damn neurologist. if it abates soon, ill go my merry way. afterall i've survived giving birth twice and a monthly dysmennorhea for 19 years. i can survive this.
but please, somebody please, stop this pain! its driving me nuts! if this doesn't stop anytime soon, im gonna chew somebody's head off!
advil, anyone?
