OUCH!

Okay I've had headaches and migraines for the last 2 days. Two nights ago I went to bed with a headache, and by morning it was a migraine. Yesterday I was only able to go to work by using a whole 3 ibuprofen, 3 Alieve & 2 doses of my imitrex generic. Usually a half of a pill will work, and then I can take the other half the next time that I get a migraine. I had another migraine after work (and after a nap) when I was watching TV. So over the last 2 days I've used 2 whole pills, - lot of medicine (and a lot of money). Hopefully this is the end of the caffeine withdrawal migraines.



I was really tempted last night to go and buy some Cherry Pepsi, or Dr. Pepper, or anything for that matter. That's how bad the migraine was last night. I find that when I take cold packs and use them on my forehead, or over one eye, it makes the pain less. Well I went through all 7 of my cold packs last night trying to get my migraine to go away. I'm really glad that I didn't have to work today. When I woke up I had a slight headache, but I got up, and took my regular meds (adderal, generic welbutrin & lexapro) got another ice pack and fell asleep again. I slept in until 10:30 and I feel a whole lot better.



If only I could feel the headaches every time I wanted to drink caffeine pop. Hell, if only I could feel the pain that any vice or sin brings at the time of temptation instead of later. But that is not how it works. Imagine every time that you bought a whole big bar of chocolate (that you knew that you were going to eat by the end of the night) you felt the heaviness of what your body would be when this became a habit. Or, every time you started looking at porn you would feel the whole weight of depression that would come later.



When I think about it, that was probably the weight, heaviness of sin that our savior felt in the garden of gethsemene (magnified by billions & billions of us) when he bled for us. There's a commercial for some depression medication that asks "Where does depression hurt?, or Where do you feel depression?" I've felt the weight of depression in my belly for the last 9 years as I've suffered/tried to fight against depression, anxiety etc. That's where it effects me.



Well enough complaining for today. walt
