Still sick.

I haven't mentioned this here yet, but last weekend I started getting some migraines. I'd just take some headache pills and try to go about my day. My father used to get migraines really bad and migraines make his nauseous, ending with throwing up. I have inherited this attribute. Anytime I get a migraine, I get SO nauseous. I was dealing with the pain in my head Saturday, Sunday, and Monday too. Tuesday, I threw up 5 times before 10am. I got sent home from work. I got a fever and was freezing under the blankets wearing a sweatshirt and pants. V napped with me till about 12:30. I felt like I had the snot beat out of me. Wednesday was a little better. I only threw up twice at work. I was nauseous all day. Thursday I developed a sore throat, still nauseous,threw up once, and chills on and off. I was spacey at work. I kept catching myself zenned out. Friday (yesterday) was ok. I was still nauseous, mild headache, but I got off of work an hour early. The nausea got worse and worse as the evening went by and ended up having to go throw up again. Now, I've never had a headache for this long. I've never been nauseous so long from an illness. Today, I woke up with a migraine. I've been nauseous on a mild level all day. I've been on Nuvaring for about 5 months, so I highly doubt pregnancy is causing my nausea. I really don't know what is going on with me and I don't want to have to find a doctor to go find out.

Blah. I think a lot of this is due to stress. I don't really want V's dad to ever leave us. He just doesn't seem like he's even considering being a family again in the future. Some days are wonderful. Others are just so hard to even get through. I try my best to swallow my unhappiness and put on a smile. I had my performance appraisal at work and my boss mentioned that I am always polite and patient with everyone, regardless if I'm going through a difficult situation outside of work. I just hope I get over this soon or find out what's causing it. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

Oh, Marcia, I'm so sory for this! Being a notorious victim of migraines, as you know, makes me feel even more sorry. I also believe that all the stress you've been through is making it worse, but I would go to a doctor in your place. It must be nothing else than the stupid migraine heritage, but it's wise to get a better medication.

I do wish you a super-fast recovery!
