So Disheartening...

I had a migraine last night and it was a doozy.

I've been feeling pretty good that last few days.  My head felt clearer.  I didn't feel as foggy or sluggish.  It's been a bit of struggle to find interesting things to eat but, have been doing ok there too.  But I could feel the headache coming on last night as we were finishing dinner.  Just a faint ache at that point, but by 9 o'clock, I was sensitive to smells and noises and was starting to feel nauseous.  By 11:25, it was full blown.  Took my meds but it still wasn't gone until I took an Advil about an hour later.  This morning, I had the usual dopiness from the medications, but thank goodness, the headache is gone.

So, where did this headache come from?  There are a couple of different things that might have been the culprit.  First, we ordered in burritos Wednesday night.  I thought I was being good- I got a burrito bowl so as to avoid the wheat; no cheese, guacamole or beans but, I did get red onions and burrito sauce.  I didn't realize the burrito sauce was creamy.  There may also have been some preservatives in the rice or on the fish.  So, it may have been that.  Second, I've been cat sitting for a wonderful neighbour.  Love the neighbour, love her cats, but her house is filled with scents.  There are some pretty powerful air fresheners in the house.  So much so, that her house smells like fabric softener.  There was a FedEx package what was being delivered so, I spent Wednesday in her house and I think the scents might have set me off.

Either way, very disheartening and goes to show just how sensitive I really am.  Maybe no more burrito bowls for me!

The experiment continues...
