Yesterday was a headache day for everyone in the household. Even our guest Terry woke up with one, although our symptoms were all different. Terry attributed his to a lack of fresh air and sunlight and did report feeling better after a walk. I had my usual pounding head which, even with prompt administration of migraine meds, took something like 10 hours to completely go away.

[livejournal.com profile] taxlady got the worst of it. She had only a minor headache but it was accompanied by vertigo, nausea and throwing up. It was bad enough that I phoned Info-Sante (which I was surprised and happy to see now has an 8-1-1 phone number) . Given the symptoms I think the nurse would have been far more concerned if we hadn't been able to tell her that [livejournal.com profile] taxlady had been seen by a neurologist and had her blood work done within the last month -- and had tested normal in everything. The Nurse said it could be anything from a stroke to a new kind of migraine (for Linda), and to take her to the hospital if there wasn't significant improvement in 2 hours.

Well, an hour later she was feeling better, and had a long nap, and woke up feeling better yet. So, now we're thinking it was the migraine thing. As [livejournal.com profile] azrhey says, trying new things is good but migraines? Bad choice.

Today, so far, I'm feeling really good. Not sure if that's just in contrast to yesterday or what, but I'll take what I can get.
