eyes

Struggled all day to keep eyes open. Why am I still up? I had a headache last night that began at midnight and only subsided around supper. I left a faculty meeting after the VP's presentation because I could barely stay conscious anymore. ug.

Gee, you're getting a lot of headaches lately! I feel for you!

Yes, they fade when I am really busy so I manage to teach but 30 minutes later I'm miserable again. Yesterday was bad again, amidst all my driving around.

Have you tried any of the migraine meds on the market these days? Duradrin if I catch it in time and, for the really tough migraines already in progress, Imitrex, have both been lifesavers for me in times of dire need.

I've not been having migraines and I have some good stuff for those when they do come. It's actually just a dull ache in the neck and skull that lingers for about 12 hours most days. When I hit the right level of pain killers for it, I usually get too tired to do anything, so I just work through it. When I'm busy or very engaged, I don't tend to notice it. They tend to disappear in the early evening, leading me to stay up late and make it worse the next day.
