Blinding Headache
Oh, man. I don’t get headaches. I just don’t. And if I do, it’s some minor little thing which isn’t so much an ache as a kind of mildly annoying bit of ’something’ which I notice is happening in my head. No real pain or discomfort.
But today, oh boy. OUCHIES! I have no idea how people survive migraines – I think I am such a headache novice/ wimp that if I ever had a full-blown migraine, I’d just rip my head from my shoulders. Turns out: I can handle labour pain beautifully – no epidurals! Either time! BY CHOICE! – but not in my head. If my husband were home, I’d be lying dramatically on the sofa, cold cloth across my head and shrieking, “Give me the drugs!”. Seriously. But I am here alone trying to focus on a text for a client, and so I just dragged myself into the kitchen and popped two anti-headache kind of pills. And I am going to make a cup of hot chocolate. It is sweltering outside, but I figure that the combination of pain killer and chocolate just may do the trick.
OK, break time is over. My head still feels like it’s trapped in a vise but the crunching pounding pain is diminishing and is now feebly bleeting and pulsing. So I guess it’s back to work… yuck.
UPDATE: OK, no lie, people. 10 minutes and four sips of chocolate later, the headache that has been plaguing me since this morning IS GONE. I love drugs. I love chocolate. For reals.
I’m glad you’re feeling better! I *hate* getting headaches, and I’m always plagued with a migraine around that time of the month… it’s hideous!
Sum of 8 + 9? Jesus, people…
I don’t usually have migraines – but I am hopelessly meteopathic, which truly sucks if you were born in this climate – and I swear by Solpadeine (paracetamol/codeine/coffeine combo). It’s such a guilty pleasure that it forces me to use it responsibly.
It sounds like withdrawal symptoms?
Glad you’re feeling better
I’ve had severe headaches since the age of three and I swear it’s the reason I’m as grumpy as I am!
Hey Miszelle,
Link me?

I often like to apply homeopathic remedies, well if candy counts as a homeopathic remedy, when I’m feeling under the weather!
Glad you’re on the mend!
Wow… that is a great remedy!
Glad you are feeling better!
Caffeine withdrawal headache sweetness… they are a bitch.
I can cope with anything but a sore throat. If I have a sore throat the world stops.
