This past weekend I was groggy, sleepy, hot headed (literally), unalert, in pain, achy and just unhappy. The headache was so bad at one point that it seemed to increase sounds, light and my breathing even seemed heavier. I thought I had a temperature because my head felt on fire but I never officially checked it. I had chest pain, and overall discomfort. I felt very far away from reality and the festivities during my family gathering on Saturday. I'm sure everyone just figured me off, or anti-social but I seriously couldnt hear anything past my head throbbing. And during dinner when I was overcome with nausea, I finally just gave up trying to eat.
I had a reader ask me if I was going to hold off on my next decrease because of the symptoms I was feeling, and the answer to that is, no. I'm still standing, I can't give in that easily. I knew going into this process that it wasnt going to be easy and it seems as though now that I'm at the halfway point it's only going to become more difficult. She also asked if I took any medication to help soothe the pain of the headache and the answer to that is, no. I've thought about it but I feel as though what is paining me is not in an area that a simple advil or tylenol can reach. I'm weary of taking anything that I don't need to take right now therefore I will wait on it. I'll wait til the pain makes me cry... ( knock on wood, I am so NOT hoping for that to happen)
Alright guys, huge week and I have tons to get prepped. Gotta go! xoxo
