I got a migraine last night. I don't think I've ever gotten one at night before, but I sure prefer getting them at night over getting them in the morning, because getting a migraine means taking Imitrex and falling asleep as my body turns into a piece of lead.

I'm not quite over it today. I don't know if it's the medication or the migraine. I went to one class but didn't think I could make it through my next one, so I got excused. My vision is kind of migraine-like, but not really, and it feels like my blood is racing so I'm out of breath, but at the same time it takes a huge effort to lift my arms. At lunch I didn't talk a lot and people noticed. Heck, people noticed yesterday, before I got the migraine, because I have symptoms even before the migraine hits. It's such a weird, out-of-it feeling, and I hate it because people sometimes don't understand, and I want to be all happy and smiley and bubbly but I can't, so I just don't want to be around people at all. It's so hard to explain what migraines feel like, and everyone's advice is "oh, take some tylenol." It's not a headache! It comes with a weird kind of headache, but it's the nausea and the blood racing and the near-panic and the detached-from-the-world feeling. It's so odd. I feel like I'm not really myself.

Okay, bedtime.
