Woke Up Feeling Wierd.

[artluvr09]

Ever since my Migraine spell Monday night and Tuesday I have been very tired and my eyes have been blurry ever since the migraines. Usually after a migraine I feel better the next day. I had three in a row Monday night and Tuesday so maybe since it was a bigger migraine it has more side effects.

Another weird thing that happened last night is I woke up at 12:55 I was in the middle of a dream then suddenly woke up feeling really disoriented having trouble seeing because I was so tired and I got up to get a banana and I just felt so weak and disoriented like I was still in my dream. I don't know if it was because my rem cycle was disturbed but it was such a scary feeling then today I am very tired since my grandma didn't get me up until 930 instead of 830 and I don't like sleeping in or I feel weird that day. I just want my energy back.

then something weird has been happening. last night and the night before when I lay down and try to sleep my heart pounds loud in my chest and ears. I don't know if it has to do with after effects of the migraine from Monday or Tuesday but its weird. I just don't like being so sleepy!!!

Do you guys ever feel like this? what do you do to get some energy?

I can't relate to the heart pounding, but when I do get a migraine headache, or other migraine symptoms like vertigo, visual sensativity and things of that nature it it can have seemingly long lasting effects. As I said in one of your other migraine posts, my post headache symptoms typcially last at least a week, so thats a week of feeling a bit out of it/ hungover, emotional swings, very sensative visually, easily overstimulated, and typically my head will still hurt the day after esepecially when doing things like bending down to the ground or any postural changes that makes more blood rush to my brain. Usually I just rest alot, drink a lot of water and gatorade, eat as bland as I can (banans, rice, crackers, water), and slowly wait to come out of the "fog". And I avoid watching too much tv or being on the computer because its just more visual stimulous that it starts to irritate my vision. You can also wear sunglasses all day, your family members may look at you weird but I've had times where its like the brightness on everything was turned up a few notches.

Wow! That must be frustrating not feeling well all week! I have been drinking Gatorade too. I am never eating ham again lol because that is what triggered my migraines. I do the sunglass thing also. My grandma lets me wear my sunglasses indoors but when im at my parents they don't let me wear them indoors. and that is probably part of my problem too. I am on the computer all day everyday for a couple years now that I've been out of school.
