Death to Imitrex...
Feb. 15th, 2006 04:54 pmSo my day started off really good. I finally passed my test and am now a lisenced personal lines agent. :) Hopefully this means a raise...
However on my way back to work from the testing center I got stuck behind an oil truck and consequently got a headache from the fumes...I took some Advil when I got to work, but shortly afterwards I started to get symptoms for my migraines...I knew I couldn't take my Imitrex pill b/c you can't take any kind of medication with it. So I just worked thru it for a while. When I came home at lunch I figured I would be safe to take it since I had taken the Advil at about 9:30 and it was now 11:50...so I took one. All it did was make it worse. Instead of the pain being only in my right temple it now went to my whole head and the back of my neck. My head was throbbing so bad I couldn't go back to work. I've also only been up for about an hour. I'm not sure if it was the Imitrex itself or if the Advil wasn't really out of my system yet. I had tried calling my docotor's office while I was still at work, but there wasn't a nurse available to speak with.
I'm also kinda sick (sorry Dave...) tho I'm 90% sure that it's not the nasty sickness that's been going around. I almost always get sick around this time of year. Especially when the weather decides to go from 40 to 20 within a week.I'm actually getting better at this point, but I know I'll just get sick again when it warms up again next week.
But I should go and eat and shower so I can get to the store to buy supplies for a yummy dinner tomorrow. :)
