I want to do a little reality check. Some people call it confessing, but I don’t have any guilt. So, I’ll just call it my reality check.
Last night I had one of the worst migraines I’ve had in a long time. I’ve had them every night the past few days but this one was a monster. I could give you more details but that’s not the point. I noticed that whenever I have migraines I eat like crazy to try anything to get rid of them.
First I had some (a whole package) of my son’s graham crackers, and some milk. While drinking the milk I realized I must me low on calcium (happens to me all the time while nursing). My body is usually pretty good at telling me what it’s missing. I was also dehydrated. I drank plenty of water but was outside for most of the day, so I should have had twice as much to drink.
I drank a bunch of water, took some Tylenol, and even drank 8oz of Diet Dr. Pepper. I distracted my self by blogging for a while, and then realized it had eased up, but was still pretty strong. Finally I had a bowl of cereal with some more milk, and another glass of water.
I need to have a better game plan for when these hit. I can do my best to avoid them, but they will happen and I should recognize them sooner and take a nap if possible. This last one was probably part of a cold. Luckily I’ve been getting plenty of sleep, so all I got were the aches. My hubby is way behind on sleep and is living on DayQuil today.
