Migraines

The worst illness experience ever is waking up at 3 in the morning with a migraine. Moving causes pain, not moving causes pain, the glimpse of a sliver of the kitchen night light is even unberable. I almost thought I had more than just a migraine because I was hot one moment and cold the next, I couldn't get into a position to make the pain go away and even waited an hour and a half for Excedrin Migraine to kick in before taking a no-name medication.

I was kind enough to move from the bedroom to the couch, still experiencing hot and cold flashes and writhing because I couldn't stop moving due to being hot, then cold, and I didn't want to wake up my Honey. I finally wet down a wash cloth with cold water and put that over my eyes and wrapped up in a blanket. There is no telling how good it felt to be able to cool off my head and still be warm. I've never had those issues during a migraine before, but things do change. Let's hope I can remember it if I have another (here's to hoping I never experience that again, yet I know I will).

I hate having a migraine. Even if I haven't eaten in hours I still end up getting sick in the bathroom, which makes my head hurt worse and that makes me want to cry, which I can't do because that will also make my head hurt ten times worse than being sick. So yesterday I could barely eat even though I hadn't gotten sick for hours. There was still some residue of the headache left but I didn't want to take anything unless it was going to get worse. I ate some cereal and a slice of bacon in the evening. I haven't eaten yet today but I have been able to hold down my coffee. That is a good sign. I was able to drink tea, milk and juice, in small amounts and spread over a few hours. I think that kept the migraine from coming back.

Today I have been struggling with LinkWorth and I don't know what the issue is. I have all kinds of keywords on both blogs approved for sale at extremely cheap prices yet I don't know how to go any farther than that. I suppose I have to wait for advertisers to say 'oh, hey I want to buy that keyword' and then it'll go from there. Otherwise, I have no clue and their FAQ isn't any help and neither is their support group through the ticket section. I am thinking of actually emailing the person who created the thing and say 'hey, could YOU take a minute and tell me what needs to be done for this, this and that?' and see what happens. Not knowing what I'm doing, and their help seeming very vague to me, makes me feel incompetent. I don't like feeling incompetent. I've actually debated on deleting the account, removing what I have here and starting all over again, not that I think I would learn anything new or figure it out any better, but it would be a fresh start and maybe I'd have some sort of revelation. Since I haven't had one yet I highly doubt it.

Well I am going to find something to eat. It is almost noon but I think a bowl of cereal will do me just fine after all of the nasty feeling I went through with my stomach yesterday. Laters.
