Today is cancelled until further notice!

 Last night, I cooked supper whilst feeling extreme fatigue. First day of term drained me and was full of incidents, which although they didn't phase me at the time, left me feeling shell shocked. By seven o'clock in the evening, I couldn't stand up right any longer and had to go to bed. Unfortunately, I didn't stay there and wore the hall way carpet out going back and forth to the lav and was sick for the rest of the night. I knew I wasn't well when DB had to take me as I had temporarily lost my sight and balance to a migraine. It was an eventful night. I resisted the codeine until DB couldn't stand the fact that I was crying in my sleep!!!! I eventually woke up, after initially going to bed as seven at three o'clock this afternoon!!! Where did that day go?

Some food will often provoke a migraine, and it isn't the same food and sometimes some food will give me a migraine, and sometimes it won't! If there were any rhyme or reason, then I could avoid triggers, but there doesn't seem to be any way.

Back to last night's supper. I used one bag of Quorn mince, (on offer at £1 a bag in Tesco) and made chilli con quorne! I made potato wedges and had some much reduced coleslaw. By all accounts, Dearly Beloved said it was delicious but mine is in the freezer to eat when I feel well again! I'm rather partial to chilli and chips so it was a pity to miss it, but I slept through supper......and breakfast.........and lunch!

Cluster Bomb migraines

Every heard of those? I don't get migraines for years on end then I get a whole series of them. Today, after being ill for over 24 hours, I feel as if I have woken from a coma. I still can't stand up for very long and I still can't keep anything down. I've taken as much medication as I'm allowed and I'm still not able to open the curtains and let any light in! The worst part is, I can feel another one coming and not even out of the last one yet!



I sometimes wonder what my animals do when they are home without me all day. I've managed to photograph the evidence. It's a good job they do sleep. If they wake up and start barking, it makes me sit up suddenly, stagger around and have to go to the loo to vomit. I'm now exhausted from writing this and I'm going back to bed. Maybe another 24 hours asleep might cure this one!
