So this has been a bad week. Let me start off by saying that I have always had tons of headaches. Eye strain, tension, stress, dehydration, lack of food – you name it, I get it. Sort of thing that I just deal with, take my Excedrin when they come on and I’m usually good. Well I had one Monday that was terrible and extending into Tuesday. Made it really hard to work. Usually I just deal – it is the kind that medication usually didn’t touch. Due to the nagging of my husband and coworkers, I was able to get into see my doctor. Lo and behold, I get migraines. Which is really good to diagnose, but in reality still stinks. I have a wonderful, expensive miracle drug that kicks it to the curb. After the doctor gave it to me Tuesday (with some caffeine) and had me lie down for a half hour – I could not believe how much better I felt. It was still there but wasn’t at the “feel like I’m going to explode” stage. Made me realize that I have been silly every other time I have experienced this and done nothing about it. I have gotten one both Thursday and Friday mornings, but licked it with the meds. Blah blah, now keeping a journal to try and track these darn things. Doctor said that it is normal to experience recurring ones when you let the initial episode go so long. So I now carry my miracle prescription with some anti-nausea pills with me at all times. Yep, that has been my medical woe this week.
But, there has been knitting (when I haven’t been knocked out!). Finished the Whisky Scarf for my husband. He loves it…yet hasn’t worn it. Although I guess he hasn’t had the opportunity yet. I made it about 19 inches shorter than the pattern. Hubby isn’t a super tall guy, and we felt this was long enough for his needs.
Started work on the U of O Duck Legwarmers for the sis. Almost done. I need to get these shipped off soon, since it will take awhile to get to Austria!
I keep working my way on Earth Stripe Wrap. Finally in the second repeat. No progress pics on this since it is more of the same. Really wish I was wearing it right now. Plus, I have decided that I am going to buy the La Lana Wools Forever Random Blends to make Lady Eleanor again. We received a beautiful bonus at work and I am going to treat myself. But I am not allowing myself to order the kit until I finish this wrap. Maybe that will give me the needed motivation. Because apparently the joy of wearing a beloved finished item is no longer sufficient!

Glad you found the right miracle pill and are feeling better! Knit on:)
I'm happy you finally found out what's what with your headaches. What's the medication? My allergist had given me something and I'm wondering if it's the same stuff.
Nice scarfin' work. :-)
Ooo - sorry. I've had migraines for most of my life - with the exception of a few years after my first was born. I'm glad you have the good meds - use them. That's the hardest thing for me - to use them when I get my "warning" before the migraine gets going. There are preventatives that are natural too, if you find out that they are hormonal in nature - which mine where. Good luck!
I'm glad you figured out you have migranes (I sometimes wonder if I get them...), but of course, not glad you have them.
The scarf is beautiful!
