The Headache that would NEVER End

Last Thursday evening I started to get a bad headache. I was supposed to work but I was too ill. It continued into Friday and I only worked a couple hours. I was feeling better by Friday evening. I was fine on Saturday but then I had another headache on Sunday evening. I have had this headache ever since.

The medical term for what I have is migraine with aura. Apparently the numbness in my fingertips and pain on one side of my face is not unusual. I was just a little freaked out since I have different symptoms than in the past. What used to work in the past has not been working now. At best, my headache gets better but is never gone.

I have not worked much this past week. I try to work but it is useless. The lights are too bright, every noise is too loud, etc. It is generally agonizing to be anywhere but in my room with the lights off.

In unrelated disappointing news, I was at work this evening when a friend who lives over seas came online. He was only able to chat for a minute. He was on long enough to say hi and say he had to go.

I need something good to happen in my life.

There are medicine you can take but the problem is that you can build up a tolerance to some pain killers. My doctor wanted me to try 2 ibuprofen and 2 acetimetiphen before he prescribed anything stronger. This has worked for me in the past. Part of the problem is that I have been so stressed out about my living situation I needed to get rid of the source of the headache it woud go away.
