Ow ow ow.

The headache I had yesterday is no longer throbbing randomly in different places. \o/

Instead, it has drawn itself together mostly on the right side of my head. It feels sort of like I’d imagine blunt force trauma feels. Like somebody whacked me with a golf club, although not hard enough to do much damage.

Also, I seem to be rather sensitive to strong smells (oh, strawberry shampoo, usually I like you) and bright lights. Which means this is probably a migraine even though I bet I’ll make it to class, and maybe even function decently. Fortunately, Binetti seems like the kind of guy who will understand if I have to put my head on the desk for a while, especially if I pop up every now and then and say something. And while I don’t know Robinson very well, he seems pretty easygoing.

I also have pain sort of under my right cheekbone. It’s intermittent, though.

At least today I have four hours between classes. I can refill my Welbutrin, then come home and “nap” for about an hour and a half, maybe a wee bit longer considering I have class in the building next to Ruggles.

ETA: Oh, thank god for aspirin+tylenol. Major pain gone. Minor ache remains, but I can deal with that. Although I don't feel very positive about the chances of things staying this way, because fluorescent lights are deeply unpleasant.

I seem to be better now, and I'll be getting more special migraine pills tomorrow morning. ^-^

You know I really feel for you. Wish you could find a neurologist to "cure" your migraines too. Until then stay up with the meds that help.

Love you, Mum

The doctor at student health suggested I might want to see a neurologist at some point - my particular symptoms and treatment being what they are, this isn't hugely urgent.

But she was a little more insistent about seeing an ENT. What's Humana's deal with referrals etc?
