July 28th, 2013

 
Today, well, was not as I planned. I was all ready for church, even after Evelyn decided to be wide awake at 2am, and determined to get everyone there and have a wonderful Sabbath day. 7am hit and so did the migraine. I tell ya, there are sometimes my body really upsets me. I am trying to get myself on track with eating and exercising, yet I still have all these problems. I really hope I get to feeling better soon. I am taking magnesium, multi vitamins, juicing, and eating really well, for the most part Rex and I have been walking almost every night ( about 3 miles) and yet I still feel awful. Bleh.
 
In other news, I am seeing the benefits of not having social media. There are some days I really miss it, and a lot of people I want the constant communication with, but it is better in the long run to have it out of my life. Facebook honestly almost felt toxic to me. I don't want to come across judgmental, or better than anybody, but it seems to be a place for boasting, negativity, button pushing, and getting attention for every life event. At least that is how I feel about it, and know why I don't need it in my life anymore. I just wish I could have more contact. It is making me break out of my shell through. I have made a lot more phone calls and written letters to family and friends.
 
Past that, things are going well.

Looking For Help

This morning I awoke at 4am with what I thought was the start of one of my many migraines. I got up, took some Advil and got an ice pack and went back to bed. At 7am Benji woke up for the day and raised my head crying from the pain. Behind both of my eyes felt on fire, and the pain was unbearable. Rex woke up and took care of the boys while I took the hottest shower I could. I felt some what better in the shower but could not even open my eyes due to the pain. I ended up taking a Tylenol PM at 8 in the morning just so I could sleep through the pain. It finally went away at 4pm this afternoon. I have had bad headaches before but nothing like that. No medication helped, and I would personally have 10 all natural child births than go through a headache like that ever again! I looked up some doctors in the Twin Falls area, and there are no specialists, but I did find a chiropractor that is in Meridian. Right now that seems like my only hope. I dont know what I would have done if Rex was not home. I would not have been able to take care of my own children let alone function at all. From what I have researched so far, it looks like I might be suffering from Cluster Headaches, not migraines. even though they are more common in men, I meet almost all the symptoms, except mine last longer. Anywho, if any one has any info let me know.
