And I’m not just talking about the ‘orrid rainy weather … Geez Loueeeeez! It’s October the day after tomorrow and we’re still stuck in bloody July weather here in the Mother City.

My day started just peachy – woke up 10 minutes before my alarm clock decided to screech at me, made tea, bathed, got dressed … and then it started … my bloody headache … grrrr. I took 4 painkillers. Nothing. I took 2 more an hour later. Still nothing.

Somehow, I managed to get through all the admin and accounts stuff I had to do but by midday I was in complete agony and I could hardly function anymore (I couldn’t even listen to music, it was *that* bad!), so I asked my Mom to do this massage thing on my neck that’s supposed to relieve tension headaches. It’s from a book that my Dad bought for me a while back and I hadn’t tried it yet because I KNEW just how painful it was going to be … I’m talking tears and stuff!

And I was right.

FUCK that hurt!! The most painful 5 minutes of my life :-( And I’m supposed to have that done once a week. Hells … I don’t *think* so!!

After that I was ended. Seriously, I couldn’t see anymore and as hard as I tried to focus on my computer screen and try to ignore the fact that my head felt like it was about to explode onto the wall behind me, I just couldn’t sit up and work anymore.

So at about 2pm I went to lie for a bit (one of the benefits of working from home being called into action there) and actually crashed for 2 hours! Totally and completely passed out wah!! I woke up all groggy (and still fricken sore), made myself some grub and some tea and now I’m just chilling, trying to get a bit comfortable. My left arm is numb and I can’t turn my head :-(

What an awful day. What a WASTE of a day!

I’m so sick of this … I actually just feel like taking a sleeping pill and crashing till tomorrow. But then I’d miss House, so no can do.

Physiotherapy, acupuncture, clean diet, drinking water, exercise, spa massages, Body Stress Release … none of these things have helped. I think I need to take Melissa’s advice and find a good chiropractor.

I’m a mess :-(

    ouch ouch ouch… I know how bad that must feel!
    Those massages do help a bit though, I used to go weekly for ‘head physio’ and it hurt like a mother-bitch, so much so that I would almost pass out during the sessions and then I’d go home and pass out for a few hours after, waking up in much less pain. I’m sure your mom did a a great job, but you could also try having a pro give you these massages? Just a thought, hope if helps.

    muchos hugs to you hon

    Sorry to hear your head aches are that bad, This may sound funny but have you thought of getting your head checked? or is it in the muscles? There was a time where i had stomach pains as if it was in a knot.. i didn’t really do much about it, but Once i saw my Shaman, she gave me a healing and we came to a conclusion that i put all my negative energy towards my stomach area, Believe it or not, after we were done i felt SO much better. I would have you come see her but… maybe there is someone on that side you can see.
    ( if you want to avoid the actual DOC.)

    Your house looks amazing! Well done! you must feel somewhat freed from the chaos.
    Love ya sis!

    Ps. Just wanted to let you know that i found a Job with a Famous Foot Wear company as an assistant manager, My car is being fixed and life is moving ahead to better things to come. Hugs to you all!

    I definitely recommend chiropractors. Mine has sorted out a few problems I have and given me exercises to combat future problems. If it wasn’t for him I would still be in pain.

    Shame Sue!!!! Wow, that’s really not a good day at all :( Perhaps you should take a couple days off? I can recommend a girl called Lindsay who is absolutely brilliant when it comes to massages, I’ve been and I can vouch for her! Drop me a line, text or what not and I’ll hook you up with her details!

    Hope you feel much better tomorrow (today)!!!!!

    @Nats … I’m so glad to hear things are coming right for you :-)

    I’ve seen my doc about my head a few times in the past – he just recommends I see a physio, which I’ve done and it was a waste of time (and money – I’m not on a medical aid to cover stuff like that.)

    @Po and @Steven … I honestly think this chiropractor thing is my last resort now … I’m so wary though – I’ve heard so many horror stories.

    @Chris … not good at all, no :-( Shitness.
