A day without a headache is a good day

I have returned from the land of the migraine. I went home from work around noon yesterday. I got home, got into my pj's, took out my contacts and layed down on my couch with a blanket over my head (nice picture, huh - lol) and slept til about 6 pm. But I still had a headache last night when I went to bed and was so afraid that I would still have one this morning. Luckily, it had gone, but I can feel it coming back. If it just stays at a nice, dull throb, it will be tolerable enough. But yesterday, ugh, that just plain sucked. You would think that me, having arthritis and fibromyalgia, that I would be used to pain and would make me more tolerable of it. Well, that is not the case. I think it has made me even more of a wimp as far as pain is concerned - lol. Screw pain!

I just hope I never, ever get another migraine. I know that won't happen, but I can wish, can't I?
