UGH...I spoke too soon!

Do you know that I hate migraines?? I really thought that I wasn't going to get anymore, but sadly I was wrong. I woke up with a headache Friday morning. It got worse as the day went on and I finally left work at 3:00 with a migraine. I came home and slept for a while and when Benny came home we went out and I filled the pain pill prescription that my OB gave me in case I had another one of these nasty episodes. Well, the pain pill didn't do a thing! I went to bed with an ice pack on my head and tried to sleep through the pain.

Saturday morning I woke up and felt so bad. Still had the headache (the migraine subsided), but what was worse is I had a case of allodynia which came about due to not being able to take my regular migraine meds.

The whole right side of my face/head was affected. It was like I had an imaginary line drawn down my face - nothing on the left hurt, but everything on the right did. My scalp was tender to the touch, my face felt like someone ran sandpaper down it, my eye, ear, and throat hurt so bad...but only on the right side. Even if I shook my head as an attempt to move my hair out of my eyes, I felt like I was feeling every hair on the right side of my head move. It was the strangest thing I've experienced in a while. Saturday night I had to sleep with an ice pack again. And on Sunday most of the symptoms started to disappear.

I'm finally feeling better, although I still have a bit of a sore throat and my ear still hurts a bit. I'm hoping that it's nothing more than the after effects of that crazy migraine. And I'm still hoping for that miracle that I won't get any more migraines during this pregnancy. Can't a girl dream???
