Worst migraine ever

I've had seasonal migraines, but nothing like yesterday.

Went to bed the night before with a slight headache, and I thought it must be the lack of water, that I wasn't drinking much. Yesterday morning I woke up with it, thought nothing much about it, had my cereal and popped one Panadeine Forte. Codeine is my wonder drug, usually fixes everything.

But no. By the time I was halfway driving Aidan to kindy, I felt very dizzy. Perhaps I had on a pair of tight jeans, and I had to loosen up the button. Upon reaching the kindy's carpark, I had to open the door and I threw up. Water. Great. I think that was the first layer in my stomach.

I realized I couldn't attend a program I was involved in, feeling s***ty. Dropped Aidan off, you'll never know how relieved I was then, and drove back home. Had the same dizzy feeling. Funny how a short journey that I do everyday seemed SOOO long. Got into the house, straight to the toilet. Breakfast out. Twice. Plonked down on my bed and slept for another two hours. Thinking that I had also threw up the Panadeine Forte, I took another one.

The most puzzling thing of it all, was that the migraine wasn't actually that bad, compared to my previous ones. Later in the afternoon I realized it may have been the codeine that was mucking me up. See, sometimes I take it well. Sometimes I find I kinda have shortness of breath or dizzy after taking it. Unfortunately it was the latter result that I got, considering it worked so well so many other times.

When I got to work, I realized I haven't had a cup of coffee. I think that was the fix I needed. And it worked! Headache gone! Or maybe it was the running around the shop that fixed it.

Migraine sucks.
