I woke up before 4am today. Didn’t feel like I could go back to sleep. So I was up, drank water, listened to music in my office, time went on, I was enragengly hungry suddenly. It became so insistent I had to go make bacon and and a fried egg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eating that at 5am was quite early, it was necessary. What followed was I felt good for eating, then I decided to make a hydrogen water and immediately realized I had what I call a Switcher migraine. I realized that but didn’t at the same time. Makes sense to me, don’t know if does to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically the stuff before becomes naturally part of what was the migraine, it is on ongoing affair, hours and days in the making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My insane hunger was the start of the pain. I couldn’t see the pain until I had eaten. I barely got my water done and went down on the love seat in my office and crashed hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took excedrin before that, I think, or later. Time is fluid and swishy so … who knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pain is on both sides and inbetween, really bad in the forehead, pushing pounding grating pressure horrible, and eventually settles on the left or right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, it went to the LEFT and lifted partially, but now is really getting knotty and sickening feeling a few hours later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday I was so tired, inflammation everywhere and only got rid of it later in the day enough to sleep, and I slept hard. <—– Migraine symptom<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The night before that was this banging in my head<\/a> <—– Migraine symptom<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really hate it. My guts had been very slow too. Inflammation some that day too, but royal installation after that bonk night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today my guts feel different …. I don’t know if I can ever get normal guts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Migraines have been part of my life for many, many years. I know I had them as a teen but didn’t know they were migraines until I was in my early 20’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one is the umptheenth one. Who’s counting? Not me. I don’t WANT to count them. I just want this one gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
