So, yesterday morning, I woke up at about 7am with the first stirrings of a migraine. I tried to ignore it and go back to sleep. My Love woke up at some point and got out of bed and I woke up again at 9am - this time, it was full-blown. Got a migraine ice, laid back down and tried to sleep some more so it'd go away. Woke up around 11:15am and it was full-blown hell. I was sobbing because I couldn't help it, though of course the crying hurt. My Love rubbed my neck and got me some excedrin (no medical insurance means no rescue medication means I have nothing to stop one once they arrive). I laid back down after calming down a little and slept another couple hours. Got up, we went to the store to get stuff for dinner and I was so dizzy and disoriented that even though the worst of the migraine was over, I was still feeling like shit. Called it an early night.

Got up this morning and still didn't feel good. I called in because I was doubtful about my ability to drive and sit under florescent lights. Been feeling worse as the day goes on again. Mainly sitting around today with my Love (who was unrelatedly sick this morning). We went and got cat food, turned in our coins for some bread and such (we're SUPER broke until Friday) and came home. My head has proceded to just feel worse and worse. I've got the after-image thing that happens when I have a migraine and I'm woozy and sick to my stomach. Bah. All-in-all, it's just not been a good couple days. I don't know what to do with this day-after headache/dizzy/sick feeling thing. I just know that I REALLY need to get some insurance soon because I can't just keep dealing with these attacks.

The monitor is killing my eyes and most of this I've typed with my eyes closed so forgive the errors and I'm going to close. I just want to feel normal again dammit.
