Lately I’ve been getting a lot of migraines. A LOT. And I don’t know why.
(My mom thinks it’s because I haven’t been on a regular sleeping schedule, which is true. I get up at 5 AM, got to bed in between 9:15 and 10:45, and I often take a couple of catnaps during the day.)
The last couple of days I’ve been trying to be asleep by 9:30 and not take any naps. But the past three days I’ve done that, I’ve gotten migraines all three days. The past two days weren’t too bad, it was more like a headache lurking in the shadows waiting for me to take a wrong step so it could take hold.
But they’re getting really, really annoying . . . like I-get-majorly-pissed-off annoying. Yes, THAT annoying. The one I had Monday was horrible. I took 2 Motrin, and they barely helped. I just had to deal with it. Add to that the fact that I had a lot of school to get done, had been sitting in the car for 2 hours, one of the keys on my laptop popped off and I spent an hour getting it back on, the sun was glaring in my eyes, it was cold outside but hot in the car, and I couldn’t find anything on my iPod to listen to . . . well, that equals me wanting to lay down on my bed and bawl like a baby for no particular reason. I talked to Megan about it, and she suggested ice cream (or frozen Oreos), Pride & Prejudice (or other cry-worthy movie), and THEN I could cry. It was fantastic advice. But, like I said, I was behind on school, so that didn’t happen. It sucked. Majorly. I listened to The Fray (my emo music) all night.
It certainly did NOT help my emotional state in the least, which has been precariously balancing on the knife edge of crying myself to sleep every night.
And do you want to know the really wierd part? Grissom gets migraines. Yeah. Freaky. My favorite character of all time has a health condition and I get it too. Which is just like Hannah having psoriasis and then it turns out I might have it as well. It's freaking me out. In fact, it's kind of like that movie Bedtime Stories, which I haven't seen, where the kids say things in the story and it happens in real life. Well, not that much, but kind of.
So yeah, I’m surely ya’ll wanted to hear about that. But I got it out, so I feel better. And tired. I think I’ll go to sleep now.
G’night.

Awww!!! Poor Kristen!! I hate headaches....I can't even imagine migraines! One day we were in Spanish and this girl was having a migraine, so this kid (who's dad is a doctor) went and pushed on her forehead like sort of right between her eyes, but up a little more. He pushed in on it for like 20 sec and then she said she felt better. But idk if that is healthy! I am sick now, but avoiding all homework cause looking at little letters hurts my head (but I love you enough to reply to your post!). I would suggest a warm shower then lay down with ice on your head. That's what I do and it usually helps. Course I don't usually have migraines...anywho..this was a reaLLY long reply..haha sorry!
Love you, and I hope you feel better soon!

Ohh, you're so sweet!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!
That's interesting (what the boy did). There's probably a nerve or pressure point or something there. I'll have to try it and see if it works.
What are you sick with? I had a runny nose and an earache earlier, but it's gone now, so I think the sick bug missed me. I hope you get to feeling better!!!!!!!! And yes, don't be staring at little letters when you don't feel good. It probably hurts much more than it could do any good.
Next time I get one I'll try your method. It sounds good just thinking about it!!!!
Don't apologize for long reviews! They're awesome!!!
Love you, and get better soon!!!
