Yesterday around 11:00AM I got hit with a major migraine. It's a good thing I was working from home, because when I get them, I'm fairly useless. I know it's going to hit because I get the "aura" where I can't see right, then about 30 minutes later the pain and nausea hits.
So I got medication into me right away which never fully takes it away but at least makes it manageable, and I lay down on the sofa with my laptop beside me. I would rest for a bit, wake up, work a bit, and went back and forth like that for awhile.
I was done work at 4:00PM, and was feeling a bit better at this time, so I went upstairs to have a shower. I needed to take the wrapping off my new tattoo and thought it would be easiest in the shower. I no sooner get the wrapping off the tattoo when I get REALLY dizzy and felt so sick to my stomach and knew I was going to pass out. I tried deep breaths, didn't help so I literally sat down quick in the tub and turned on the cold water full blast to snap me out of it! It took a good 5 minutes before I completely came around.
All I can say is thank GOODNESS I didn't pass out! Dana didn't get home for another 2 hours, so if I had have passed out in the shower and hit my head or something, who knows what could have happened and what he could have come home to.
He told me that from here on in when I have a migraine, I am not allowed to move from the sofa at all for 24 hours unless he is around.
