[derp] "I'm going to take a nap to try and beat this headache" and then ten hours later I wake up

Did you beat the headache at least?

I have a question btw

yeah ^ that is the important issue!

dunadaness probably beaten though who the heck knows with my headaches also yes question?

Can Gem stab Jadus through the hand?

He's holding onto a bit of her and that's a mistake

Sure! He's got a healing power so he can stitch himself back up, but he is going to be angry in the meantime

Saddest bro-fist over the chronic headaches

Have you seen a doctor about them?

I'm presently trying to diary out when I get them, what I've eaten, how much I've slept, barometric pressure, etc.

Good luck, it can be very difficult to break it down

Yeah, I'm just trying to get a handle on frequency right now to start with.

/nods

what types of headaches are they?

(also track hydration, I get migraines with that.)

they range from nose to around the end of the frontal bone on top of the head, depending on the day. Sometimes come with congestion, sometimes not. Usually stick around for upwards of 8 hours.

Hydration's never really correlated with mine, I can drink all the water you like and still get them.

oh man

Usually they're not super painful, they just make it hard to focus on stuff. Once in a great while they're really bad, but I've yet to figure out a pattern to them.

only pattern i've found for mine is stress

and weather :T

yeah mine vary from "i can function through this but I'd rather sleep" to "someone please kill me because I literally can't get off the floor at least i think this is the floor"

I don't quite get them that bad, but I do every once in a while get headaches that pretty much preclude all other activity that isn't absolutely necessary for continued function.

I have some medication for those situations, but it leaves me feeling a little floaty and don't-operate-heavy-machinery-y

I'm on a med that helps prevent them but I need something stronger I think. And something stronger to take when the bad ones happen

(I mean. I once drove myself home from work - I WORK IN A HOSPITAL - stopping two or three times to get sick, and then covered the bathroom in sick, all while blind in my good eye and passed out for three hours THEN realized I should let my supervisor know I was still alive and I should have gone to the ER instead of home)

I get everything from 'i can ignore this' to 'i can focus and meditate the pain away' to 'i am throwing up and please put me in a medical coma until this passes'

(In my defense, the idea of going to a bright and loud place fill of movement was the definition of "deepest pit of hell" at that time)
