Yucky!

I went to bed like most of us do, somewhere between, 9:30 P.M. and 10 P.M, sometimes after eleven. Many times I awake for the night time shows, Letterman and Craig.
And I awoke this time due to a headache, to beat the band, in the middle of the night!
Pain, of course is nothing new to me or to anybody else I am more than sure.

So why do I think “oh no!” when it awakes me out of a semi-deep sleep?

But last night was that kind of disturbing awakening that has me wondering if my eyes that are red (due to dry eye) too often I think that they are really infected with some nasty disease that has gone into my brain, ya know?

It is so painful and yet, as a young woman I had these types of headaches and at that time I was diagnosed with having allergic migraines! After six months of going for desensitizing injections I was cured!

Sure a migraine is a possibility since it did cause me to uncontrollably vomit several times for what seemed like a few hours but was only a little over an hour when all was said and done.

While all of this was going on, in between, I of course Googled it, and surprisingly the first things that shows up in my reliable goto Mayo Clinic info was sure enough, migraines.

I put in "headache with vomiting", of course there are more ominous causes also listed but I know, or at least I am pretty sure that I don’t have any of those…NOPE, I wouldn’t be writing tonight if that were the case.

The only issue I had with the snap dx I initiated was that I recalled when I had those nasty migraines, in my late twenties, nearly forty years ago, light was piercingly painful to me, and it would make it much worse. So I turned on the bathroom light and no, not a nasty reaction at all. But I did need to use the toilet again for releasing the discomfort in my tummy, via my mouth.

Then I thought food poisoning, but I didn’t have the right symptoms for that either.

All I know is the wet washcloths and the sinus saline and the eye drops and the coffee that usually has helped wasn’t working, but after it, and it appeared I had finally gotten rid of all the contents of my stomach, I did feel a bit better, I chose one lone Pepcid and tried to go back to bed…And it was around eight thirty or so when I awoke to a phone ringing, it was someone calling about Medicare and Hubby asked if they would call back this afternoon and they never did, I had gone back to bed around four that morning.

Dinner had been orange chicken that I had made with brown rice, nothing harsh there.

I felt bad that I had to miss exercise today I had been very dehydrated from my night’s disposal of my bodily fluids.

And the exercises have recently been causing me to sweat quite a bit, and for most people that is a good thing, but for me too much can cause my MS to exacerbate, since I am heat sensitive and I have been perspiring with my cooling vest even on.

I have basically been in and out of bed most of the morning through lunch time. Hubby made both breakfast and lunch. I had asked for oatmeal with a little bit of milk and honey and he was good enough to do that for me. Lunch was more difficult since we did not have canned chicken soup but we did have bullion soup packets, salt free that I use when I make my homemade soups.

So I told Hubby with the left over chicken breasts from last night chopped into bite size pieces and so also with frozen mixed veggies and mushrooms and onions and some garlic he was good to go! We had those wide no-egg noodles too and Hubby made them first and put three packets of chicken broth with three cups of water in the pot and he completed the whole thing in time for lunch, no problem! Of course we both needed to add salt and pepper to taste and so we did.

By dinner I felt better so I made some chops, baked sweet potato so big we shared the one, and asparagus.

Hubby had also made me some red Jell-O earlier and so now we have a bit of dessert too!

On that note I will probably take the weekend to feel better and I can’t wait to get back to the rehab to work out!

Monday, I hope. Now allow me to be the very first to wish all of you to have a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all those overages with you know who and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
