It started out really good...hung out with one of my best friends on Friday. Went to another friends house yesterday and got to see my godson. Played poker, ate brisket, had a great time. Got home kinda late and could feel a headache in the back of my skull. Figured I was just tired....so I went to sleep. The hubby woke me up at 6am to take him to work (which I got irritated at because I had to be back at home by 630 in order to get ready for work) and WHAM!....Hello migraine. Oh I was not a happy person. The hubby looked like someone had poured him into a kaleidoscope and I was uber-dizzy and nauseous.
I had to close my eyes in order not to have a terrible mess all over my carpet (and hubby's shoes). Told him to take the keys....I wasn't going anywhere. I took a few migraine pills and laid back down...incredibly thankful that it was still dark. Closed my eyes for what seemed like 5 min, only to open them and see that it was 3 hrs later and I had to call into work (I was supposed to be there at 8). Needless to say...they weren't too happy with me and now my supervisor and I get to have a "talk" when I go in tomorrow (praying the migraine stays sleeping). Normally...this wouldn't be a big deal at work...but it's the third time I've called in with a migraine in the past month. This is highly unusual for me. I might get one or two of these beasts a year....not three in a month. I'm sure that it has a lot to do with all the stress lately and erratic sleep schedules....but I have to figure out something. I can't go to a Dr. about it because I have no insurance and can't afford to pay the hospital bill.....can't even afford the meds.
I just pray that everything levels out soon. I pray we can find the hubby another vehicle soon. I pray we can get caught up on our bills soon.
I think I'm going to go take a bath and relax some....maybe crack open a book and see if I can read that for a bit without my head feeling like it's going to explode.
I hope you all have a great holiday weekend.....I'm going to try and savor what's left of mine w/ some down time and leftover brisket ;)

Hope you feel better soon. Living in England, we have the NHS, and although lots of people moan about it, I canjust go to the doctor's, or to the hospital without worrying about the cost. Sure, the NHS is in a right state, and you have to wait for hours to be treated in a hospital, but it is there. xxxx
Same here... Migraine started about 3 years ago, with 1-2 attacks per year, and since December I have had a dozen, I guess. Have you tried a migraine diary? (I haven't, but I know it might help.) With many people I know it's certain food that triggers migraine, or spending long hours in front of an old monitor.
(I never go to the doctor, although I have insurance, and my migraine medication includes coffee, sleep and lots of fresh air if I see the signs early enough.)
