Owwww

So I got in a 13.45 mile run yesterday. I bagged about 7 miles since I just wasn't into it. Came home, inside to AC, got the chills. Drank a lemonade, showered, and went off to get hair cut and colored. I was developing headache on way, so I got a Tim Horton's iced cappachino, since I figured it was a caffeine-withdrawal headache.
As I sat there in the salon, I was just getting sicker and sicker with my head. I managed to get out of there, grabbed a taco and a medium Diet Pepsi-hoping this was still just caffeine related, and drove home.
Good god was my head pounding. And since I had cleaned out my car, there was no extra little first aid bags of drugs around! I managed to get home, grab some Advil, saw how pale I was, took out my contacts, and crawled into bed.

I haven't had a migraine in over 12 years and this was excruciating. First I had husband bring me a cold compress. Nothing. Then I remembered the reason my head was hurting was the blood vessels were constricting. I then had him start bring me hot compresses for my head, and that started to help a bit.

And I was freezing! Yes, the AC was on, but I was under one blanket and had the husband throw another one on top of me. I was miserable for at least two hours, till either the Advil kicked in, or I finally relaxed enough. I managed to crawl out of bed, FB'd that I would not be up to Cleveland for the training run, and turned off the computer. I woke up around 11 pm with the headache just very faint in my head.

So this morning I'm up at 6 am. I still don't feel 100% better. I'm feeling sorry for myself because everyone is out running today. I am not running today. I don't want a repeat of yesterday's pain. I still have Sunday to get a long run in.

I am so sorry to hear of your migraine. They are the worst and it seems there is little relief except curling up and hoping they go away.

I hope you are 100% soon and your migraine is gone for good!
