Today my head hurts like it did yesterday. It's a moment by moment thing. I can have a headache one moment and not the next, but most moments I DO have a headache.
What have I done within the last 24 hours to abort this giant, months long headache or prevent a headache? I have not had any caffeine and have been caffeine free for over 4 years. That seems to be a major trigger for me. I have to request that doctors not put it in medications for me. I increased my T*pamax (per my doctor's request) from 25 mg. to 50 mg. Last night I had 2 glasses of white wine which seems to be one of the only things that really gives me relief, but, obviously, not a total solution EVER! I only drink a glass of wine about twice a week at night after the kids go to bed. This morning I drank 2 huge glasses of water and took two aspirin. I have taken it relatively easy today, laying on the bed with my heated "bed buddy." I haven't spent too much time on the computer with my neck straining. And I've tried to eat somewhat regularly.
I DO NOT want this cup that I have been served! My current "diagnosis" is "chronic migraines." I do not receive this and want to have nothing to do with it. I don't want to read about how to get rid of it, I don't want to alter my diet, I don't want to alter my lifestyle, my sleep schedule, my moods because of medication, etc. I also don't want to have a headache every single day.
