My HeadaTerm-2 was on the front porch already!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I haven&#8217;t used it yet, had to charge it, and then I&#8217;m waiting for a little more daylight and woken up feeling as well. (Mornings are classic for me, so tough all my life.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But of course, my waking up and  getting a piece of toast to quell my roaring hunger, I hadn&#8217;t noticed it yet. <strong><em>Light sensitivity<\/em><\/strong>. I should have, call me a migraine dunce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything felt so, you know, well only if you have migraines too. Hard. Just too hard to do anything satisfactorily. Nothing feels right, it&#8217;s all off and wrong. Sometimes twisted too, not today though, thanks for that, brain. Sometimes it&#8217;s a very black feeling and that is not as usual, it&#8217;s usually when I feel fine and suddenly go from normal to aura. Light and Black Mind. Nasty, Hate. Just a horrible thing I despise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I eventually got the message though, I put my pc on full 100% night  light (Win 11) and had to sit on my futon further away to be able to watch a video on YouTube. I felt angsty the whole time. Ended up taking a nap through it, that felt so good. So far it&#8217;s a sickening feeling on my left side, including my eye. I have a softball sized pulsing sick, sick, sick thing, and I so hope it dies fast. I can do some things when like this, but then it becomes overwhelming and I&#8217;ll have to lie down for awhile. Anyway I do hope it doesn&#8217;t start the Pain session, but it is there walking down to socialize with me. I don&#8217;t want to open the door, but Pain is a jerk and will force their way in regardless of what I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wanting to use the HeadaTerm-2 I didn&#8217;t take Excedrin, but I did a few minutes ago, finally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m just so tired. Sleep all night. Wake up, don&#8217;t feel rested because of &#8230; you know the drill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>But of course, my waking up and  getting a piece of toast to quell my roaring hunger, I hadn&#8217;t noticed it yet.
