Inflammation soaked into everything and oh how I ached so much more than before and it was torture all night my head hurt weirdly, very not normal for me. I took an Advil sometime in the earlier evening. I was trying to go to sleep since 5:30pm, I felt so odd and I hated everyone, and liked nothing. I laid down on my futon and watched Guardians of the Galaxy  1 &amp; 2 since I had thought about doing a re-watch of the trio of movies sooner than later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I watched a lot of both first and second movies, but did fall asleep, here and there. I turned off the movies at the end of the second. I put music on my tablet to try to really sleep to at that point. I had the Advil after that at some point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By 1am I was hurting worse in my head and it turned into a very nasty large migraine switcher mode. I suffered until 5am when I could finally take another med (Excedrin.) It wasn&#8217;t as bad finally, and I did sleep more eventually. After getting up it kept getting worse again, really bad. So 12:53 I took Excedrin again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have also been sick since the 14th of April, one of my kids went down first, then me, now another kid came down with it a week after me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The residual sinus mucus production is driving me mad. It&#8217;s also Spring, so allergies compounding the virus symptoms. This is the 11th day of having it, and hoping mucus junk abates soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So then the Excedrin at 12:53 was in tandem with one red Sudafed, I hate having to take one, but the pressure that continues and won&#8217;t go away, so even though hated, Sudafed takes it away for the day overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1:13pm Everything felt way better suddenly. I had been laying down, in pain, pain, pain, and vamoosh!  I feel better, not in pain, not hating anything much, and went up to the kitchen, made a batch of ice cream, and defrosted some ground beef so I could make a burger to eat, no bun, just a meat burger on the plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also I got my sourdough bread dough into a pan to Rise at that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suddenly things were doable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was all long ago, have since baked the bread, and have eaten a slice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now it&#8217;s been about 5 hours since Excedrin, and I can feel something happening on the side of my face again now. Ugh I don&#8217;t want another painful night!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So now Saturday is almost over, I&#8217;ll go to try and sleep early to get away from it all, before having to start again on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Husband better get up early and get that thing which I want. Or I&#8217;ll get livid and angry and meltdown again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll take the HHH Cortisol Manager Zen Again in a little bit. I&#8217;m hoping it won&#8217;t make me so lethargic on it own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oregano Oil I&#8217;ll have to not do for awhile, then only do 1 ever a day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have to write about how things have been the last few days.
