The problem with these 4:30 a.m. runs is I have to get the family up at 5 and we have to be out the door by 6. It makes the mornings getting ready sort of stressful and doesn't leave much time for hydration or breakfast. I've got to figure out a way to solve this. I'd prefer something other than getting up at 4 a.m., but ehhhhhhh, not looking too good.
This freaking migraine lasted for three days. I missed work Thursday and to be honest, I should have missed work Friday. But I went in anyway.
It took three days, lots of water, vomiting, stomach issues (always triggers IBS episodes), eye pain, but damnit I was a new woman Saturday morning.
I should have run this weekend, but honestly, I was really scared I would have a rebound headache. That has happened before and I just didn't want to chance it.
I used to get migraines often. Enough so I had to get a prescription, but the last couple of years have been really good to my head. With the exception of PMS headaches, I don't get them too often anymore. So naturally I didn't have a prescription.
Excedrin Migraine helped somewhat, but I feel like all that really is is a big shot of caffeine. Sometimes you just have to power through till it's over.
Hence, here we are today. I'm ready and able to get out on the road this week and I"m looking forward to it.
So I've come to learn the best way to avoid migraines is DRINK WATER before/after and basically like forever when running. Also, try to handle your stress as best as possible. HAHAHAHAHAH! OMG there is no handling of stress these days other than wanting to be in a fetal position under the bed. But, I'm surviving just fine!
