I'm feeling a bit off colour

[Pumpkin Becki]

I had a cracking headache yesterday, of almost migraine proportions, and I felt sick everytime I moved (which made the drive home from work exciting!!). Its been so long since I had an actual migraine, that my tablets are too out of date to take safely (must take them to the chemists for disposal).

Today I still feel sick and this headache is hanging around (though not as bad a yesterday), which means no work on the new house for me (OH has gone on his own). So I'm having a sofa day instead. I've got the film 'Chocolat' on the telly and the laptop on my knees so you guys can keep me cheery, and I'm dreaming of 'Grapestock 2010' .

Summer Holiday is on ITV!...though maybe with a headache not such a great idea!
Hope you feel better soon.xx

[Pumpkin Becki]

Ooh, I love Summer Holiday, maybe I'll record it for later though. Thanks Di xx

Get OH to pick up some Boots migraine relief from your local store - they work a treat for me.

Hope you feel better soon

[Pumpkin Becki]

Thanks Shirl. Is the over-the-counter stuff that effective? My GP lead me to believe it wasn't.

[shirlthegirl43]

It works pretty well - certainly way better than most over the counter remedies. Don't know why thoughbut better than paracetamol or ibuprofen anyhoo

[Pumpkin Becki]

Thank you again, I'll give him a call (hopefully he's got his phone up in the attic with him - he's plastering).

(((hugs))) PB, I had a migraine hovering around for a few days this week, orrible thing! Hope it takes itself off sharpish. xx

[Pumpkin Becki]

Thanks Sarz, I've just made a bizarre lunch for myself, it was the best I could do, and taken some more paracetamol. I'll try and sleep it off this afternoon I think.

[SarzWix]

Yeah, best thing for it, block the light out if you can. I usually end up with an old black tshirt draped over my eyes to make it dark enough
Must admit, I'm still feeling a bit fuzzy, and wondering if there's some kind of bug going round as the OH is feeling a bit headachy now and he never gets migraines.

[ginger ninger]

Sorry to hear your not feeling well, take those paracetamol with plenty of water, go to bed and try and get some sleep......o no i sound like someone's mum
Hope you feel much better soon...(((((((((BIG HUG))))))))) XX

Summer Holiday I'm certain anything with Cliff Richard in would make me feel a whole lot worse!

Don't think TV or Poota is good for you with a Migraine, never was for me. Luckily haven't had one for ages (she says, tempting fate!). Hope you're feeling better soon chuck!

[Pumpkin Becki]

G4! You don't like Cliff?!? You have no soul my friend (just kidding). He was my Mother's favourite, so I'll always have a soft spot for him.

Headache not so bad at the mo, its when I move that it kick back in and then the nausea starts again.

Nonetheless, sleepytime now. Thanks for your thoughts and hugs everyone. Man, I hate being poorly, can't even go out in the garden!!

[Pumpkin Becki]

Had a nice sleep this afternoon and feel much better. OH even made me some dinner when he got home, and he'd bought me some flowers - how cute is he?

[allotmentlady]
