Have you ever had a really good excuse for not doing something, and you used that excuse, and had every reason to, but you still felt bad about it?
I've had a headache, literally, for 7 days. It started last Monday with just a faint headache, then by Thursday it was so bad I couldn't touch my left eye or cheekbone. I started flushing my sinuses and taking lots of decongestants. It subsided a little on Saturday, but Easter was painful. I was singing on the praise team thinking that any minute I would pass out. The eye pain also led to light sensitivity, which I already have, but even more extreme so I was wearing my sunglasses every where to keep from getting sick. It's kind of like a migraine, but sometimes I skip past some of the symptoms straight to the sick part.
Anyways, it laid me out yesterday, I had to come home from work early and sit in my dark room. And this morning it was finally gone, but I feel it coming back.
All this to say, it kept me from the gym. And while it was a good excuse, I still feel bad. Could it be that I was actually starting to enjoy the gym??
Anyways, maybe it's stress. I seem to have a bit extra of that these last couple of weeks. I don't know, but I'm really going to try to go today, if I can get this headache to go away.
Any thoughts on the best way to get rid of one that seems to last forever? I've tried Ibuprofen, Excedrin, naps in dark rooms, head massage, chocolate (Easter Sees Candy..my Achilles heel), caffeine...you name it!
By the way, GMA week is next week. I'm kind of looking forward to it, but kind of not. I'm not big on dressing up to try to impress a bunch of people. Especially when 98% of the interviews you do are for radio. So then why did I get up at 5am to get my hair done and buy a new outfit? It's not like the listeners know any different.
bye bye

My suggestion: Jeans and a nice looking top. That way if they take pics of you...you are sitting down, so what you wear on the bottom doesn't matter.
I can totally relate about the sinus stuff. I use generic under the counter psudephedrine (1 tablet 120 mg)....works like a charm...headache gone.
Hmm. Maybe working out would actually help. When you exercise, you're basically loosening your veins so the blood moves through your system quicker (to bring oxygen to your extreminies). :D Most headaches occur when the veins in your head are too tight. You don't have high blood pressure do you?
Anyways. I hope that gets better. :)
