Should Have Kept My BIG Mouth Shut

I realize this picture has nothing to do with my blog but isn't it funny?
Well the 24th and 25th were both headache days. They were 2's and 3's mostly and at some point,4. Nothing changed, the weather is still cold. We are still using wood for heat. We started working out again now that we are home but that has been going on for the past week or so. Caffeine intake is the same...on and off. Today I had nothing. This diary is helpful and pointless all at the same time. The only thing I've learned about my headaches is that they are as unpredictable as the weather around here...Ugh!

Winter Miracle

I haven't blogged because there is nothing to report. Despite the difficulties in my life and the long trips back and forth from Florida, my head is pain free. I did have one or two days that could have been reported as a 1, but they quickly went away so I didn't bother. I am enjoying the peace away from those horrible monsters called migraines. To add to this wonder, my husband and I started a workout program for further prevention and for our own health. So far so good! A healthy diet is also starting as we transition from old ways and into newer, better and tasty foods. Any "good tasting" healthy recipes would be greatly appreciated! Kim? I know you read these;-p

The Stretch is Over But Thankful for It!

Tired and stressed today......headache but chocolate and caffeine helped. It was a 1. Now it is just a little pain in my left eye.

My Head Gets an "A" for Good Behavior

Travel time, new foods, new environment, stress, sadness, warmer weather, moist air and my head is fine so far. I just hope it continues. This is not a time for migraines!!

More Snow Means More Relief?

If it is the cold weather helping me these days....Bring on the snow! Things are tough financially and we don't need any more lost work days, but you can't stop mother nature! I am still feeling good as of today.

I received a very nice email today on Facebook. Thanks Chris! It was from a former migraine sufferer. He gave me a link to a natural juice that worked for him. I am thinking about trying it this Summer. It's expensive but he said a bottle will last a week.

Writing Makes My Head Feel Free!

I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but I have been writing a book for a while now. This week I think I wrote more than I have since I started. I stay stress free while I write since the only thing going through my head is the weird stuff I am writing about. Science Fiction is a pretty cool area to be writing about and I have quite the strange imagination. I would guess me and Stephen King would get along just fine. lol! This evening I did homework on the computer. Now that's a whole other ballgame. I did feel a slight headache coming so I drank a coke...well half of one. I took a nice relaxing bath and all us well again. It didn't register on the scale so no need to report it. The weather is warming up now and our diet is going back to the way it was a week ago. We had turkey for a week. This is yet another thing to keep track of in my daily migraine diary. Today I made pizza. Tomorrow....Hot dogs. I can't see how a Dr. could ever help me. I confuse myself!

Great Day

Today was good. We even ran the kerosene all day and no headache. I helped bring in firewood as my husband chopped it. We stayed up until after 4am last night and played Uno with his brother. The weather is mild. I still wear a coat but it is quite a bit warmer and all the snow is gone already. I haven't written in my book for a couple of weeks with everything going on and being sad about my dad. I plan on catching up this week while Nathan is at work. We start school tomorrow too! It is my first class in my Master's program. Let's just see if the level of stress gives me headaches again. Hope not...but I will definitely try not to worry about everything as usual. I know what it does to me if I do.

Warmer Weather - More Headaches

                                    This is what I want to happen to my head when I have a migraine!!

Now that it is starting to warm up, my headaches are coming back. Yesterday I had a 1 lingering most of the afternoon so I took an IB and a nap. We still had a nice evening for New Years and the Champagne didn't affect my head this morning. I only had about 2 glasses of it so I guess I am in the clear. I am sore this morning like always after a headache but not cloudy. It is raining buckets of turd outside and is supposed to rain all day. Our wood is getting wet and the stuff that needs chopped will not get chopped in this rain. This could mean we will have to use a little kerosene, which means another headache *sigh*. Maybe we need to move to Alaska? Well, further North anyway......

Wednesday Night Migraine

Tuesday I went outside and scraped the ice off the driveway so I knew I would get a headache. That night, my shoulders were tight and the soreness started to kick in. I took IB 800's Tuesday and Wednesday. By Wednesday evening, my head started to hurt. Forget about the cramps I had on Tuesday...they didn't affect my head at all! I got through PMS without a headache! This is great.....So Wednesday night, I had about a 1 so I took an IB and Nathan rubbed me to sleep. He said I was sawing logs pretty loud so I take that as I slept good. Thursday I was sore and cloudy all day as usual after a migraine episode. My depression is back understandably with my dad real sick and all, but I am feeling good today. I am really starting to love this cold weather we are having. I hate to see it go because I am afraid the headaches will return! Yuck:-p Tonight is New Years Eve and I plan on drinking 2 glasses of wine. If I have a headache tomorrow, it was self induced! Happy New Year!!!

Winter Wonderland

I have not had anything to post! This is GREAT!
