I've been expecting a headache today.  Sometime early this morning in a still sleep-induced fog, I dreamed or awoke partly or something, to a weird vision disturbance of rings of rainbow dazzles.  I hoped I was dreaming.  But I was doing ok until I ate and sat down with the computer and found the half-eaten bag of Skittles and couldn't resist finishing them off.  So maybe it's a sugar-induced headache.  Not quite a migraine-level, so I don't want to take a migraine pill, but the ibuprofen hasn't even touched it.  I'm here at the coast after a busy morning/travel day afternoon/last online class yesterday and have caught up on my flist.  The sun is sparkling off the water like a gazillion-trillion diamonds, and all it does it make my eyes hurt.  My headaches seem to be migrating from my right temple into my forehead, which is weird because they don't throb there and it feels like sinus, but what do you do except get through it.  Caffeine isn't helping either, dammit.

Now I must go slushing because I'm behind because of yesterday.  *resolves to not take headache out on Innocent Authors*

Aww, that's what we're *for*, to help you feel better :)

I hope it never really materializes and just goes away. Happy slushing! lol

It did materialize, but not pounding. The 3rd & 4th ibuprofen combined with the 2nd Pepsi, along with a little lie-down seem to have tamed it though.

<<>> :-D

I hope it goes away too so you can enjoy the water and those gazillion diamonds . :)

Thanks Mary. Had to close the blinds though because the light was just too bright. Oh well, it'll be beetter tomorrow.

Had a head cold that migrated to chest last week (am all better now).

Made it through most of the week with no sinus headache. Came upon me Thursday night, and I woke with a splitting nigh-migraine Friday. Soldiered through. I get you on the weird migratory patterns of headaches, too.

Yeah, sometimes it's hard to know what to do. Migraine? Not? Worthy of Migraine medication or not? You just never know. Hope you're feeling better now Berry! The hubby and grandkids have had that cold/cough thing off and on all not-winter.

Oh, sweetling. I'm so sorry your head is achy. How many ibuprophen did you take?

I have now taken 4 today along with 2 pepsis. And closed the blinds to shut out the light, laid down for a while and am better now. Thanks, dearie!

Only four?? I take four AT A TIME!!! Prescription strength is three 200mg tabs, and goes all the way up to six at the highest doseage. If you make sure to eat something when you take them, it's not going to hurt you to take more than the two the bottle says you can take.


Oh! I never realized that! Good to know. Four at a time from now on then! I usually have a low tolerance to medications. Took 1/2 a Vicodin once and it laid me out for 12 hours, so I usually err on the low dosage side. But headaches are a different bear.

Start with three, and make sure you eat something.
