Ow.
Ow ow ow ow OW OW OW OW OW.
Friday was Day Five of this skull crushing headache. Anything that alternates between jackhammer and ice picks getting driven into my brain makes functioning hard. Like, hard as in crawl-into-a-hole-and-wish-for-an-untimely-death.
And that is my 49 word SoCS post for today.
Linda hosts Stream of Consciousness Saturday. This week’s prompt is “ow.” Find a word that contains “ow” or use it as a word in your post. Have fun!
I’m sorry you missed so much, and with anguish 😦
I used to have terrible chronic headaches/migraines and while maybe I’m still more prone than others, I am grateful they’re less frequent. May it be never before you have one like that again.

Ow is right. So sorry for you having such lingering pain. I used to have them last for days. I’m thinking it was hormonal, because later on I pretty much quit having them. Feel better soon. (hugs)

Thank you. 💛 I used to have headaches almost daily before my TMJ was diagnosed & I worked on better stress management. It’s pretty miserable.

So sorry. This year I got headaches for the first time — not saying I never had one, but rare. A friend sent me this link, and while we own our business, certainly we had a bad year and I resonated with the article. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/hate-your-job-body-symptoms_n_5c40a314e4b0a8dbe16e8373?ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000063&utm_source=main_fb&utm_campaign=hp_fb_pages&utm_medium=facebook&fbclid=IwAR2JU-M7SoNY7ISC2pprUc_jIwNaZ3nN8V1z5fnn8cgqeZ8QJJzLAzNKPjw

That’s a good piece. I used to have chronic headaches (4 or more a week) and a lot of other symptoms on this list — it took some major lifestyle changes to turn things around. Stress really can wreck havoc on our bodies. 💛

Try real aspirin. Not acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or naproxen sodium, real aspirin. And wash them down with a cup of real coffee. That’s the only thing that works for me.

So hard to say. We’ve had weird weather shifts but I’ve also had some pretty big stressors this week and yeah, hormonal’s never far off track. Too many variables…

Five days of a headache sounds rather unusual, Laura. I also think you should check it out with a doctor.

Not yet. One of the kiddos is 36 hrs into a hideous stomach bug & I’ve pretty much got my head down trying to pull us both through to the other side. 😣
