It's enough to make me scream
June 18th 2008 21:15
It's been quite a roller coaster ride.
So,I've been out of the game,so to speak,due to migraine pain.It is just miserable to say the least.The pain is everything.Before I open my eyes in the morning,the pain is so bad I don't want to open my eyes.I thought maybe I was having a heart attack the other night as the pain was so bad in my jaws,and severe pain on both sides of my neck that I had never had experienced.It's enough to make me scream.
The heat,the pollen,the storms.So,I decided to look up some others that might be suffering in the public eye.

Today I worked the entire day with a migraine headache. A blinding, painful, avoid bright lights kind of headache. It stayed with me all day. After the 6 o'clock news, I just laid my head down on my desk and tried to relax and not ramp up my stress level and make the headache worse.
I have had headaches like these for years. But it has been probably two years or so since I have had one time bad. I took some pain reliever (thanks Nancy!) and soldiered on. At least I tried. I wasn't as effective today as I could have been and it makes me feel a little bad.
I remember once getting a migraine while I was working in Las Vegas and once I got home, I spent the entire night pouring hot water over my head, trying to dull the pain. After a while the pain left; I don't know if my water treatment did any good or if the migraine passed on it's own, but it hurt!
I talked to a doctor a long time ago and he belives my migraines (like most migraines) are triggered by stress. He gave me some medicine he said would help me but what it did, more than anything, was cloud by thinking and make me feel a little loopy. I didn't like it at all. To me, to walk around in that state is almost worse that just sitting there and suffering.
So this weekend (tomorrow at least) I think I am going to try and take it easy. I think I will try and get some sleep (as much sleep as one can get with two young sons in the house).
Hopefully it goes away soon. I've never had a migraine start on one day and carry over into the next. Hopefully that's not how this plays out. I am typing this blog on a white screen and even this is starting to hurt.

Injury report
Third-round pick and offensive tackle Oniel Cousins returned to rookie minicamp today after sitting out yesterday with recurring migraines. But seventh-round pick Allen Patrick did not participate today after injuring his left hamstring yesterday.
“Allen tweaked his hamstring,” coach John Harbaugh said of the running back from Oklahoma. “He’s been fighting that, really, since he got here. He’s going to have to work hard on that for the next couple of weeks and get healthy.”

Notes // Rookie offensive tackle Oniel Cousins walked off the practice field because of a recurrence of migraines about 40 minutes into the first session of rookie minicamp yesterday. "He had migraines again," Harbaugh said after practice. "We've got migraines going around, I guess, on the offensive line. He had to come out because of the migraines." ... Harbaugh said the team might keep having its rookie camp after organized team activities and minicamps. "They're so much further along than if we would've had this camp in the beginning before they had been through the offense twice," Harbaugh said. "For a lot of these guys, it's their third time through the offense, and it showed up today in their ability to operate the offense and run the routes and make the adjustments."
