oh my!
I have been fighting a bad headache since Friday. On Saturday morning, I finally took two Tylenol w/Codeine and it helped. Since I was pilfering from the medicine cabinet and didn't want to to take all of someone else's prescription, I caved and took some of my own prescription for my migraines . . . Vicodin . . . on Saturday night. I began itching almost immediately. John assured me that since I had taken Vicodin numerous times before with no side effects, that it was likely unrelated.
Um, OK.
So I ended up taking another last night because I was losing the battle to this ridiculous headache/moving towards a migraine.
And I got very dizzy. And began itching. And broke out in hives. And thought about ripping my skin off to try and scratch more deeply to assuage the itching.
So I ended up taking two Benadryll. Not a problem if you are most people. But Benadryll kicks my ass. Actually, to be clear, 12 milligrams of Benadryll kicks my ass. (That's less than a normal child's dose.) Last night I had to take 50 milligrams.
Result? Amy done passed out last night. And I still cannot safely drive myself. Or talk without slurring. (Hopefully I am typing sans slur!)
Next stop? The doctor. Then the chiropractor (normally, I would reverse those, but I am taking what I can get this morning). And hopefully a massage at some point. Although if the doctor follows her normal protocol, I will get a shot of some goodness and be comatose for the remainder of the day. Thus rendering the chiropractic visit and possible massage useless. And impossible since I will be laying horizontal for the next 18 hours while I sleep off this mind-numbing pain.
Sadly? John was up most of the night with facial pain . . . he's diagnosing himself with a sinus infection. I'm so far gone in this headache that I can't even summon up an attempt to help him with Halle today. It sounds good, but I'm just not functional enough at this stage in the game.
Happy Monday! Hope yours is celebrating without hives!
