Horrible day today - I got the absolute worst headache last night, because for some reason my neck was out of alignment. I took two Tylenol around 10p, then took about four small Motrin around midnight. I have this back massager with a built-in infrared heat, and I held that all over my neck while lying in bed. About 40-45 minutes later it wasn't one bit better, so I got up and took a couple teaspoons of leftover cough syrup I have that has codeine in it. After that, I got out my Spinal Worx & stretched out on that for about 15-20 minutes. Headache was a bit better for about as long, then I got up, went to back to bed & within minutes, it got worse. Eventually, the codeine must have kicked in because I did actually fall asleep at some point.
All day at work today, it got progressively worse as well. Took two Tylenol again this morning, then around 10:30-11a, took three Motrin, but by the end of lunch (around noon?) it got so bad I had to come home for more meds. I found a couple hydrocodone (generic vicoden) and took one of those. Headache was better/worse on & off for the next hour or two, then at one point, it hit almost migraine level, and I had to just lean on my desk with the heels of my hands over my eyes. I think I dealt with that for over an hour. Finally around 5p I started to feel better (oh, after taking another three Motrin around 3p).
Got out of work at 7p, came home and felt ok for an hour or two, then it kicked back in again! I'm trying to save my last hydrocodone, just in case I *really* need it, so I took another 4 Motrin around 9p, and had the on-off thing for an hour or so, then remembered I still had some green left, so about a half hour ago, I had a little of that. Even now, headache's still bothering me, although it's not migraine-inducing anymore. i think I'm just gonna go to bed & hope I feel better tomorrow.
And yes, I called my chiropractor for an appt. today, but he's out all week, won't be back until Monday. If I'm not better by then I'm going in first thing. Of course, if I'm still this bad on Monday, it means my weekend was horrible. Man, I could really do with a back/neck massage right now! I'd call Viv, but I haven't heard from her, which means she's likely spending all her time with her new man. And there are literally no other people I can call, even to hang out, let alone work on my back.
Ok gonna try & sleep now...
