Woke up at 8:30 today, feeling considerably better than yesterday, although still not great; about an 8/10. A high 8. I came downstairs and had some toast and coffee.
Had a chiropractor appointment today, and had an adjustment. He says my axis, the second vertebrae, is my major area of concern. Also, all the medication that I take is a concern and that I need to stop taking medication gradually and detox and I should feel better. I have increased chiropractic appointments this week because of the severity of my migraines right now; appointments Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I got a little bit of immediate relief from the adjustment. It brought my headache from the high eight to a low 7.
It is irritating or maybe somewhat interesting that an 8 isn't just and 8. There is a scale within a scale. No one really asks about it or acknowledges it, but its there, because a 10 point scale just really isn't enough to cover how you are feeling. I guess you could say I feel 8.6 but then people might just think you are being too picky.
After the chiropractor I was feeling a little bit better so I wanted to be out a little bit so we went to the library, where I got some DVDs and to Walmart and walked around to get some things that we needed. Spending just that little bit of time out was good, it gave me something to concentrate on, but it also wore me out very quickly. So we came home, and I was exhausted. I ate lunch; chicken tenders and spinach souffle with a warm chocolate melt, and then watched tv for a while.
For the afternoon, I didn't watch tv very much, but couldn't find much to do; reading isn't possible right now because I am having trouble concentrating and I have blurry vision, and the tv was irritating me, so I mostly just paced around the house.
Dinner was ravioli with meatballs and salad.
Went to bed around 7:30, exhausted.
Took Zyprexa to get good nights sleep, took pm meds, am vitamins not taken (not with me for the day).
