Hard Day

I had to cancel all plans today. Around 2AM I got woken up with intense, throbbing pain. I tried getting out of bed, and my right leg gave out on me. I was ok. I went to get some water and came back to bed. I chose not to take any meds. Migraines can be a catch 22, if you medicate for every migraine then you are at high risk for medication overuse headache (MOH). If you don't medicate you take the risk of migraine escalating out of control.

I opted to just try and sleep it off in hopes it would be less severe later in the morning. Ended up being a monster of a headache. I had allodynia, even my hair hurt. I got nothing accomplished. I laid as still as possible because even the slightest movement sent shocks of pain throughout my body. 

I am so grateful my husband was home today. He was so sweet. He brought me breakfast in bed.  He kept my rice pack heated, it is a comfort thing for me, I like to keep it draped over my abdomen. He told me how much he loves me and how beautiful I am. I disagree on the beautiful part, especially the way I was looking today. I am very fortunate to have a husband that loves me so much and will do whatever he can to help me feel better. I surely don't take him for granted. I always try to make sure I thank him. 

I will share more tomorrow. My brain hurts and I am having a hard time putting the correct words together.
