I had a really rough day yesterday with migraine pain, I can feel the discomfort in my head building as the minutes pass. I have time to decide whether or not to take anything for the attack.

So whats the cause of my migraine headaches? Could it be that I was so engrossed in the tasks at hand I didn’t feel the pain until I was back in relaxed mode. This morning I sat talking with one of the moms at the residence. That last few minutes outside were very relaxed and remarkably non-worky.

Despite not feeling my best today, I decided to be social. Taking a cue from people I know (or whose blogs I read) with New Daily Persistent Headache and/or chronic daily headache, I am trying to still do things I enjoy despite the pain, trying not to shut out the outside world and the things I love in it in favor of lying in bed feeling bad. It worked okay today, and I won’t be pushing myself to socialize all the times I am not up to par.

Last bit of news, is that I’ve been relatively migraine free. The topamax seems to have been doing its job overall. The bad news is that the mood leveling effect seems to be dropping off a bit. Nothing major, but I feel like a bit of the old “angry Rob” is coming back a bit more.
