Migraine stuff

Am I going to get used to this?

I often wake up with a mild headache - water and coffee cure it nicely. And today I have good reason to be nervous - it's the day I find out if I have jury duty or not.

But right now, every twinge in my head (even if it's in back, which says "tension") and every butterfly in my stomach scares me. Which, by itself, makes the butterflies and the headache *worse*. I know the difference. I even took an advil for the headache and it's starting to go away. I don't want to live this way.

Will I get used to this?

Because LJ is for complaining, right?

I didn't bring the meds with me to work. Because I'm afraid that I will consider any pain to be migraine and take it when I don't need it.

And by 3 today, under the pressure of having to finish this week's work in case I have jury duty tomorrow (I really wish I *knew*, you know? Make life easier.) I had a headache in the right place - across my forehead - and my stomach was not happy.

So. Took a break. Said mincha. Bought coffee *and* Excedrin Migraine.

And. It's better. Not perfect - not by a long shot, but it's bearable. I did scold my husband, but that was because he'd left the house late and in consequence, we might not get folded laundry back. And then he's dealing with it because it's not fair that we pay for laundry to be done and he leaves late and so I have to fold it? Nope.

Okay, not coherent, either. However, I *am* finished with the week's work, so that's good. I'll know about jury duty in about 35 minutes, give or take.

I called the jury duty number, and all jurors are to report in.

I'm taking books and notebooks and pens and my pda, which I might not be able to keep. And a pill bottle with advil, caffeine pills, exedrin migrain pills and a Maxalt, and a bottle of water.

My husband assures me there is a kosher restaurant right there.
