Happy Thanksgiving!
Woke up at 7:45, very dizzy with blurry vision. Ate cinnamon rolls and coffee for breakfast.
I talked to my mom a bit. My family is coming tomorrow for Thanksgiving, and after that we are going to the Tuba concert, which is where a bunch of tubas gather in the square of the local small city and play Christmas carols to start the Christmas season. My mom says if I am not feeling significantly better, like more of a 5, she doesn't think I should go. It is going to be loud and cold and I am going to be miserable there. However, I have never missed a tuba concert, and I will be miserable if I do not go. I would rather be miserable there and not miss it than be miserable here and miss it. I have already missed the opening to Harry Potter 7, when I have never missed an opening of Harry Potter because of this damn migraine, I don't want to miss something else that is important to me.
I took a bath and that made me feel a little bit better, like it usually does. I wandered around the house a bit, doing mostly nothing but somehow filling the time. Then I used my Posture Pump (http://www.posturepump.com/1000.aspx) from the Chiropractor. This nifty little thing helps put the curve back in my neck and stretches my neck out. I get some relief from doing this, which is always a good thing.
I think it is important to note that with this migraine I have been craving sweet, sugary foods. Cakes, ice cream, pastries, cookies, icings, that sort of thing in particular. I have tried to use fruit to satistfy my sweet craving and it does not work. I have also been excessively thirsty, drinking much more than normal.
Ate spinach souffle, mashed sweet potatoes and ham for dinner, and went to bed right after dinner, around 6:45, in preparation for the next day, a long day.
AM vitamins taken, PM meds taken, with Zyprexa. 4 Aleve taken in afternoon.
