I woke up today feeling really good I took an ambien last night and slept all night. Before noon i got my christmas tree up, some cleaning done, a great work out (that felt so awesome to sweat again after not so much working our for the past 3 weeks)
Then I started to feel dull, crappy tired my neck started to hurt. This is a new neck pain quite different from the neck migraines I have had in the past this was both sides of my neck and the pain is very hard to explain but quite different from anything I have experienced before. when i do get a migraine in my neck it is generally localized to one side and up the back of the head. This was not that so I hesitated taking anything. Then my stomach started at first I thought maybe it was a virus then I got nervous something was really wrong with my neck, I tried heat all day this usually helps, it made not difference, I tried ice, a marginal difference. I then took 2 tramadol, nothing so I thought this has to be a migraine and took a maxalt. yup that was what did it. It never fails to amaze me how a migraine can take on so many forms and totally ruin a day. I really thought at first that exercise eliminated the neck pain because to think about it all week I have had this pain. I hope today because it built to such an intolerable level that this new neck pain is not something I will have to deal with all the time I hope it was all just building to this and once the true migraine hot it will be over.
I am going to now try and wrap some presents and take a long hot bath with the jets on my neck. Generally the only good thing about a neck migraine is these though persistent and long lasting also make me sleep so maybe jsut maybe a good night sleep is in order.
