Hello everyone. So sorry I haven't wrote a blog post in nearly two weeks but there is an perfectly good excuse. As you can see from the title that excuse was a MIGRAINE. So lets start from the beginning..
On 5th January ironically I had doctors early morning and then me and my Mother went into town for breakfast and just a general retail therapy mother and daughter time. I felt generally okay and we got home just before lunch time. I came upstairs and planned to put away the stuff I brought from town but all of a sudden I felt this extreme throbbing pain on my left side of head and came over really knackered so naturally my instinct was to take a painkillers and have a kip hoping I would wake up with the pain gone. Basically cut a long story short this lasted til the 11th January which has been absolutely hell.
MY SYMPTOMS :
- Throbbing and pounding pain
- Pain only on one side of my head
- Light headed/feeling dizzy
- Loss of appetite
- Sleepiness
- Body feeling extremely weak
- Sensitivity to light and sounds
- Feeling hot/cold
I knew this was an migraine straight away but never imagined it would last for 7 days. As we all do I goggled so much and tried every remedies/relief possible and nothing was touching it. I managed to only have one meal per day as I was asleep most of the day anyway so wasn't hungry and I made sure I was drinking plenty of fluids. I was trying to figure out what triggered and caused this Migraine but I could't relate to any of the causes I read. A few people suggested hormonal but I looked into this and don't think it was that so I was really confused and in alot of pain. On the Monday to Thursdays the migraine was constant then on Friday it started easing off early hours of morning but only for a few hours then finally I woken up on 11th January and the pain eased so much, Yes it was still there but it was alot better and by the evening the pain totally gone. Now touch wood the pain has gone and doesn't return but I still feel awful in myself. I feel sleepy, weak and totally drained. Weirdly on the 11th I was going to get an Emergency Doctors appointment or call 111 to see what they advise but obviously the pain went so was no need to. I will mention this next time I go to my doctors as they might give me an idea on what caused this or how to deal with it if or when it happens next.
So that is the reason I haven't been blogging, on Instagram or on twitter alot. I barely have looked at my phone to be honest, apart from text Beth and check Facebook, twitter ect. Now I have to try and get back into an sleeping routine which is failing alot lately so touch wood I can get back into my normal sleeping time. Also thank god Beth started back blogging while I was having this Migraine so our blog wasn't neglected. Have any of you got any tips or ideas on what caused this Migraine? Let me know :) Now I feel better I can get back to blogging and doing day to day stuff even though in two weeks time I have an week of specialist appointment for my back which will hopefully give me answers and also an operation so I doubt I shall be blogging then but Bethany of course shall be blogging. This is one of the reasons I love and am enjoying having a blog with Beth aka my Sister in Law because it means if either of us are unable to blog then the other person will so it doesn't mean our blog will be quiet and left alone :)
Anyways Im back :)
Love Katie xx
