migraine log 5-31

anxiety/depression: anxiety has been pretty bad all this week and coming in waves today... however, sometimes my intuitive thing feels like anxiety and I know that people were being called today for reference checks... so I may have "peaked" during that time... I wondered what was making me so on edge and then a friend said that the job had called her. Probably not so much intuition but I have felt this before and it wasn't flat out anxiety. Depression is mild today. I could feel it rising up a bit but I tried to bury it.



aura: none

description: woke up with severe pain that came in waves- eventually turning into a deep nagging pain

food: had a banana and water with a generic Tylenol upon waking-had a fast food breakfast later and then lunch---still have migraine! Had a few sticks of cheese night before and lots of cheese today...but I don't think cheese is usually a trigger... I have had them without eating any... 

other issues: stress, lack of sleep/sleep deprivation, dehydration

to note: ex was visiting, waiting to find out about job, financial worries etc. 

pain: severe upon waking, dull nagging ache rest of the day, nauseated... 

medicine: generic Tylenol- did not help.... took generic migraine medicine... did not help... took second round of generic migraine med... and have had a few cokes with caffeine... still has not helped. GRRRR!

other: none

pain ended: @ 4:52 pm... still have migraine and still have slight kink in neck from this past week or so. This is really effin aggravating. Hoping that it will be gone tonight...may take additional migraine med later... just worried about getting sick. 

summary: I may need to drink a glass of water before I go to bed every night...

later notes: @ 2:02 am--- one last generic migraine medicine and it's finally done with me!

daily notes

I have had a severe kink in my neck for three days now. I'm surprised that I have not had at least a tension headache.

general headache #1

summary: Just a general headache---not disrupting me but making me uncomfortable...neck pain as well. Probably due to the same old stressors and the crappy outcome of the election.

aura #1-with migraine-mild pain

Visual aura
credit: http://imgur.com/gallery/l6amp
Exactly! Zigzag electric visual disturbance...
aura: started 12:33 am / ended: 1:00 pm / time: 27 minutes

description: "electric", prism-like jagged C/V, started with blurred vision, then visual began, moved across left eye area then finally out of vision at 1:00 pm. Waiting with anxiety for a migraine.

food: string cheese, coca cola, pepperoni roll, lemon scone

other issues: maybe hormonal, stress (looking for new job, job stress in general- financial stress, relationship stress etc.)

to note: have job interview tomorrow for part time position...(changed mind) not all that excited but need to move on...

pain: migraine started about 1:40 pm--about 40 minutes from aura, right temple area- sick to my stomach, smells and overhead lights/computer lights bothering me. Pain was pretty mild but enough to be annoying.

medicine: took generic Excedrin migraine to try to stop it before it really sets in... worked!

other: eating--am hungry...yep, mostly unhealthy junk

pain ended: about 2:10 pm---about 30 minutes from onset... feeling mostly better---no pain that I can tell but still feel "pressure" in temple area...probably just "phantom" pain from oncoming migraine. Light from screen is still annoying me...

summary: can't wait to go home and sleep!

later notes: @ 8:38 pm---still feeling like blah from this migraine... neck pain as well but thankfully the underlying pain is pretty dull... just like a pressure at my left temple and still bothered by light and whatnot...  grrr...
