In my eventful life, I've managed to take an everything shower today and not flair horribly. I've been nursing a migraine all day, and Birger has alerted three times just this morning of my low and dropping heart rate and blood pressure. It's hot and muggy out, so im inside with the ACs and fans running as cold as they can and nonstop fluids and electrolytes. Caleb took Birger for a walk today, and he was even really warm after. Thankfully, Birgers neck gator is cooling, and he has a cooling harness, so we were able to stabilize his temperature effectively. Now, to rest the rest of the day until I need to help cook supper. I'm thinking of brewing some cold tea and putting some bouy in it to help. Maybe I'll brew some of my migraine relief tea...assuming I still have some.

My undiagnosed vitamin D deficiency caused me to have #migraines for years. If only I had known that taking a simple vitamin would have stopped them! It's amazing what can go wrong with our bodies without us realizing it. (For anyone else with migraines, it took me about three months of taking supplements before the migraines went away completely. Whenever I've left off the vitamins for a short while, they've come back.)
In my case, I'm very lactose-intolerant in an American cheese-loving and milk-loving culture, and I don't like dark green vegetables much, so I can guess why mine happened. I also have #PCOS, which would have added to it.
But I do think our society's tendency towards being indoors on computers or in front of TVs all the time is not helping with everyone's health.

I've been in immense pain for the past week or so, more than the "normal" amount (for me), even losing almost 2 days to sleep due to total exhaustion & migraine.
Tonight is the worst so far, and I'm so fed up. I try to ignore it and distract myself, but the moment I try to relax, it's there.
The standard pain scale that most doctors/hospitals use would have me at a 10, the highest, but because my baseline has been shifted so much these past 5+ years, I use the Mankoski scale, which puts me at an 8 (my baseline is around 6 or 7 usually)

I'm worried that my baseline is shifting again.
I'm exhausted, I hurt so much.

I feel like I would be happier if I could figure out the differences between my migraines reliably and take painkillers for them accordingly.
Like - when do I have the most basic one that goes away with XY, when is it going to be hemiplegic and it needs XMP, and when is it a tension headache (also type of migrsine btw) that only gets worse if I take wrong painkillers and not a relaxant, and it gets so bad I can't even nap it off.

2/ I had #ChronicMigraines for years. Dr's never figured them out. After taking Vitamin D (OTC, individually not in a multivitamin) for a couple of months, the #migraines weakened and didn't happen as often. At the end of month three, they disappeared entirely.
That was years ago. I've only had a couple of #migraines since, and both times were when I had not been taking daily OTC vitamins like I should.
