Right after I posted my last post…I developed a whopper of a migraine. I get the kind with the visual auras, I see a silver streaky light in my field of vison. It actually starts out suddenly half of my vision is gone. I can look at things and not see all of them. It’s freaky and awful, because I know what’s coming.
The auras, light and sound sensitivity, nausea and a massive, debilitating headache. The kind that will only go away with sleep. My rescue medicine (I take Topomax everyday because I used to get migraines frequently) includes Phenergan because it makes me so nauseous. And the drugs are at home because I so rarely get migraines anymore that I don’t think to carry it with me.
So right now, I’m sitting here, wearing my awesome aviator sunglasses inside because the newsroom is so bright it feels like we’re on the face of the sun. The police scanners are going off, and people are talking and I keep shushing them. I’m so sick to my stomach its not even funny. I can’t go home, there’s no one to fill in–it’s vacation season! There will be no run tonight. All I want to do is crawl into bed and sleep until nothing hurts anymore.
You win universe, (waves flag in surrender), you win.
Sigh.
