Hurray! No disgusting pill aftertaste today!

The weather here is fluctuating like crazy which means a lot of migraines for me. Just what I need. Monday night’s migraine had me vomiting for several hours of the wee morning. It really, really sucked. The only bright side: all the migraines since then have seemed almost pleasant just based on the fact that there was no vomit involved (yet…keep your fingers crossed). I know that chocolate can be a trigger for some people’s migraines, but while I was in headache hell today I was craving chocolate like nothing else! It is actually a craving that I often get with a string of migraines or headaches, and when I ate chocolate tonight it actually helped me feel better! Chocolate as medicine?! I’ll take it.

I know I said I wasn’t going to post anymore…I’m just really restless (as a result of endless headaches probably) and am trying to wind down to a calm enough state to get some much needed sleep. I would normally do some yoga, but I’m a little worried about aggravating my already nauseous state through that kind of movement… I really don’t want anymore vomit…

I’m looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow morning (I love my new sleeping pills :D) After experiencing a night of sleep on these pills, I have to say that I don’t think I’ve ever actually had an actual night sleep! I legitimately DID NOT KNOW that that was what sleep was supposed to be like – you go to sleep, and when you wake up  you feel a bit better! A number of theories about fibromyalgia posit that it’s a sleep disorder – something about not getting into the right state of sleep, and thus not being able to repair the wear and tear of the day. I’m really starting to believe them…

Seriously though, sleep is magical! I’m so looking forward to more sleeping, especially as I have no reason to set an alarm tomorrow morning :) Sweet dreams to you all (hopefully with no vomit!)
