What if Pepsi really is the answer?
I've had a migraine since last Monday, October 8th. It started on the left side of my head, and by Wednesday (and LOTS of heavy medication which really fouled up my motor skills) it seemed to be fading. By Thursday morning it was back full force on the right side of my head.
I ask you, is that fair? I'd done three days of penance and it seems I was destined to do another three.
By Saturday night I was no longer suspecting I am susceptible to strokes. I was freaking HOPING I'd have a stroke so maybe I wouldn't hurt anymore.
(BTW - if I'm ever on life support longer than a couple of weeks, find a way to unplug me, please. I figure by then they'd know if I can be revived or not, and there's no reason to prolong the inevitable. I don't want to be lying there thinking about how miserable I am and powerless to do anything about it.)
Saturday night after I came home from my night out with Jennifer (most fun I've had in AGES. :) Thanks, Jen!) it started hurting worse and worse. I thought maybe a megadose of caffeine might help a little, so I headed to Wal-Mart and bought some Pepsi. By the time I finished 10 oz of the bottle, the pain was letting up (and no meds at all. Figure that one out). I drank another quarter of the bottle, started reading Wicked, and went to bed.
No headache today. No tenderness or feeling that the pain is about to come back.
Yay.
