the_rckI felt really overwhelmingly terrible last night and still don't feel so good this morning. I thought eyestrain at first (I had the living room light on all morning and afternoon while I worked on my laptop. Normally, I avoid that much light. I also wondered if I'm needing larger print on my screen or glasses for reading at laptop distance) then migraine, but nothing I tried helped. By the time we got home from our weekly appointment and our friends started to arrive, I was feeling queasy, too. Keeping my eyes shut helped that. Scott just assumed it was normal levels of me being unwell because that's what he thinks is normal. It's not. It's really not.
Lying down helped, but I started having problems when I stood up again. I'm almost certain that this is mostly a sinus thing because I could feel shifting in there when I lay down. I missed a dose of my Flonase Tuesday night because I forgot to get it out of the bedroom before Scott went to bed, so maybe that's the problem? This seems pretty damned severe for that. At any rate, I took sudafed and the Flonase, and I did actually sleep some.
I was still queasy when I got up this morning but, at least, wasn't headachy any more. I'm kind of assuming that the headache will come later. Lemon ginger tea helped a little, and I had some caffeinated tea, too, because I know that not will definitely result in headache. I ended up eating ramen noodles because I couldn't come up with anything milder. The food helped briefly, but I think going for straight up carbs was wise because I don't think I could handle most other stuff.
I was pretty thoroughly out of it during Scott's game, and he kept trying to get me to be involved. I guess that me spending 85% of my time with my eyes closed and a good chunk of that with a warm pack pressed against my eyes didn't tip him off. I could think, but opening my eyes for long made me queasy, and I kept burping. It's frustrating because reading/writing are how I fill my time when I feel terrible and also stressed out.
I really don't like the idea that me being unwell enough not to be able to participate in social things/games is now Scott's default assumption. I also hate that I had to tell him, in front of the entire game group, that no really, I just couldn't keep going.
I have an appointment this afternoon, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to get there while including a trip to the library for the holds that expire today. I also have to do a few things to prepare for the cleaning lady's arrival. I'll be out when she gets here, so I can't put it off until after the appointment. Some of those are one and done and shouldn't take long. I think I might do them and then lie down.
