No, I didn’t get to take a nap and got a killer migraine. Nothing would make it go away. Used to get killer migraines as a young Betty. To the point I’d vomit…glad you know that now? My Mom took me for allergy tests, etc, but nothing ever showed.
I woke this morning with a lingering headache, hoping it doesn’t come back all the way. I did sleep pretty good last night which is great! Still tired feeling though. wtf
Food yesterday…was STARVING. But I behaved.
9am- handful of cranberries/coconut
4 oz baby carrots
cottage cheese
1pm- 10oz of Spinach
pork chop
was that really it? forgot my carb.
330pm- 4 hardboiled eggs(just whites)
1/2 apple with pb
6 oz of shredded cabbage
Poor MiMsy, yeah I used to get migraines regularly from the age 16-18, then mysteriously they stopped. Think I’ve had them only a handful of times since then. To the point of vomitting and actually feeling better by banging my head on a wall.
I have a friend that works for a biomedical engineering company that makes a thing that switches between hot and cold to relieve migraines. Maybe you could rig up an old fashioned ice pack/ heat pad combo?
I’m in the migraine club too. My mother had them with visual disturbances and vomiting - with mine it was more of an icepick through the eye plus nausea feeling. Fluorescent tubes can trigger them for me - I remember one office I temped at, I would get a migraine every Monday without fail.
By Tuesday I’d be used to it but the weekend would undo me again. It sucked.
I still get the odd bad headache but I’ve not had many proper migraines since getting lasik. I wonder how much of it is visual for me.
For me, I think it’s a sudden rise/fall of certain hormones. It hasn’t come full force but feeling the after effects. The lingering, like it could back any second.
Training was pretty good today. I caved and had 1/2 a redline. In the past I would have downed the whole thing. If I’m going to have that stuff, I’d rather practice this thing called m-o-d-e-r-a-t-i-o-n.
Not everyday, not every time I train. But for the true and sincere days I need a little oomph.
And honestly, I couldn’t really tell the difference between energy drink and no energy drink today.
Forgot to mention tried squats with bar–ouchouchouch–
My theory is that the downforce of the weight on my knees is what is causing it to hurt?
I know it’s just the bar, but still.
Maybe you hold your body differently when you put a bar on your back.
Have you tried curcumin (or turmeric) for the inflammation? Biotest sells it - it’s supposed to be pretty good.
Re: migraines, a lot of women get them when they are coming up to their period. It may be something to do with the drop off in serotonin around that time. Either way, the changing hormone levels do affect brain chemistry.
I have heard the same thing as Cal…that fluctuation in Estrogen may cause migraines in women…also drops in Serotonin may also cause this…great, another reason for stupid docs to prescribe anti-depressants for off label use.
I got migraines right around 11-12…pre-teen hormone stuff perhaps?
I haven’t tried Curcumin. I read that if you are already too far gone or if you have pain from an existing condition it’s not going to do much. My pain is something structural. Something in my knee(s) is limiting my ROM.
It seems more like an injury, but no one has suggested it.Couldn’t hurt to get an MRI if it’s covered just to get a clearer picture. I get the knee tracking thing, but it never used to hurt to squat. Why all of a sudden?
Kids had there back to school open houses. First day back is tomorrow! But before all that we had an Earthquake… yep, an earthquake.
took me a couple seconds to realize what was happening. I was sitting here actually playing on the computer and my butt was vibrating, lol. I kinda ignored it, then i felt the swaying and saw the blinds on the window going back and forth. I could SEE this flimsy house swaying.
I got Julia and we just stood in the doorway, which is the first thing I thought of. Even though I think your supposed to get under something.
And this is a day after earthquakes out west?? hmmmm
Were there earthquakes out west? I missed it. I don’t watch the news. Oh, kids back to school already? You guys start early. Mine are out until after labor day.
No energy drinks? I’m impressed. Could have been the cause of your migraine…but your through that now. So, carry on. Maybe someday I’ll follow your lead.
Glad to see you’re still doing work in here. Congrats on the stopping smoking!
A possible reason for your headache/migraine could be your sudden drop in caffeine intake? I put down coffee and soda all day for hte longest time and got to hte point where I would get crushing headaches if I didn’t get any. Just a thought though.
