Insomnia + Migraine
June 8, 2007
4:48 AM
I havnt slept in two days.
At this point I would gladly trade any illness for my migraines. Imagine working in a busy kitchen for 10 hours while suffering from a form of headache that gets worse with physical activity. Bright lights send jagged shooting streaks of pain from your eyes to the rest of your head. Loud noises make you want to cry. And then, finally, after 100’s of plates of food dished up. You are done for the night. You go home and think that you can finally relax… it is not going to happen. Your neighbors are drunk and playing their instruments all night. You want to ask them to stop but just getting out of bed and approaching the sounds is going to cause you incredible amounts of pain.. some will say, “call the police”. If you are anything like I am, that is not an option. Why the hell should a police officer waste time and tax money, in order to tell someone to stop making noise. When you can just as well do it yourself. That is if you are not in excruciating pain. You never do manage to fall asleep. You distract yourself playing video games and watching t.v. And then, at 6:00am, just when you are starting to doze off. The fire alarms go off. Big, loud, screeching, fire alarms. Repeat 3 times in the next 12 hours. So yeah. Having a migraine makes me into a whiny little bitch.
