The D Spot

So I get these rip-roaring killer headaches, generally right as a rain-bearing front is headed our way. I’ve had one since yesterday. It rained all afternoon, and then the headache went away. I was fine til this afternoon when it came back with a vengeance and sure enough, the sky is clouding up and they just forecast rain for the next day or so.
Great.
My grandmother could tell the cold coming by the feel in her bones. I get whopping headaches.
No amount of advil (800mg!) helps. Nor does tylenol (1000 mg!) (all at once!) (and yes its safe dear reader, I am a nurse. Safe for me at least, maybe not for you),
So I tried to look up headache cures.
Lavender aromatherapy. I smelled my flowers. No change.
Gentle scalp massage. I have no one to rub my head and it doesn’t help when I do it myself.
Gentle back/neck massage. God that would be heaven. But again, no one to do it.
Warm shower. Worsens it.
Cool shower. Didn’t work.
Lots of water. No help.
Caffeine. Great, now I’m wide awake with a raging headache.
::Sigh::
The best part of these headaches (because something has to be good) is the amazingly strange way my mind and thoughts tend to go when my brain starts throbbing.
Today I managed to figure out a whole concept of my statistics class that previously made no sense, simply by realizing out how many of my family members and boyfriends a certain ex-friend of mine slept with from 8th – 11th grade. Ahh…cluster sampling…or is that cluster F*$#.
Ah well. I am guaranteed bizarre headache dreams as well Last nights were doozies….and no I am not explaining them because I am too much of a lady to describe the lewd events my subconscious mind came up with in last night’s REM. I will let you all make your own conclusions. I have to say though, it was quite entertaining.
And after a five minute pause to reflect on the dreams I am being paged by Loving Family to start dinner already.
So I am off.
Maybe cooking will help the headache.
nah, somehow I don’t think that’s the answer either.
