#pressure headache

[psychoticmoth]

I wanna shove a valve into my skull and slowly open it relieving the pressure.

Are you doing ok?

You've barely noticed the barometric pressure change and the intense headache it gives you before the big storm that's coming.

That intracranial hypertension feel...

We on a storm warning for the whole week, and the pressure is really getting to my head. My ears even popped a couple times. It feels like my head is both too big and too small at the same time.

The weather: *changes slightly*

My head:

[gleefully-macabre]

Lost most of today to the most persistent migraine ever. Took my meds, some pain pills, a hot shower, had tea, and it remained.

The worst part is my new medication makes it impossible to sleep during the day. It’s like daytime insomnia! I am not used to not being able to sleep, and a short nap has always been my foolproof migraine cure. Instead I spent a large portion of the morning in bed with the lights off, a cold compress under my neck, and nausea, then a bit after lunch because eating didn’t improve anything. Plus I AM tired because again I didn’t sleep much last night, so studying is going to be awful. I make careless mistakes when I’m tired.

And it could be anything! Headaches are a side effect of most of my meds including the new one; I didn’t sleep well which can result in headaches; shark week finally started after skipping nearly a full month; and it’s overcast and I’m sensitive to low barometric pressure.

Got some sparkling water and Gatorade since I’m still nauseous. May try tea again and try to force myself to study a little.

Dear brain, please stop squeezing yourself like a lime wedge.

Sincerely, me.

When you go to bed at 6pm because the polar vortex is making your head hurt and you sleep for like 20 minutes but it's already 10pm when you wake up... 😴
