I can’t remember when was the last time I have such a mega migraine.

It is probably not the worst of the lot on the scale of pain level, but the side effects that flanked it are bad enough to ruin two, good days.

It started with a long journey of travelling as I scrurried round the island these couple of days. By the time the day ended, the throbbing, sharp pain was starting to make me feel a tad weak.

Light-sensitivity made it hard for me to sit before my monitor long before I get nauseous.

And strangely some brain activities (okay, I know they are usually simple, but still, got some okay!) are somewhat affected. I had difficulties forming some words or structuring some sentences.

It went away briefly for a while last night finally, but this morning I woke up with left side of my body feeling numbed all the way to my toes, and I felt void of energy as I was shivering, and was feeling kinda delirious.

The sharp pain persisted and suddenly as I type until here, it throbbed again and I stared at this sentence for a good few minutes not knowing how to continue or what I had intended to write cos brain connectivity seems to go haywire.

Anyway.

With the condusive weather, and barely energy to get out of bed, I called in for an MC.

I woke up later in the morning still feeling the terrible throbbing, and went to see the doctor in the afternoon.

I got horribly cheesed off having to wait one and half hour despite me trying to beat the lunch time crowd.

And the doctor was one of the worst and irresponsible doctors I ever visited, who would shout for his patient’s name before the door closes as the last one left the room. So sometimes even when very, very muffled, he would not stand up (leg broken, is it?) to go to the door to call for the patient even if no one knew if it was him/her he was calling.

Before I could recite my symptoms, when I said the word, “migraine” in my first sentence, he started writing painkillers prescription and asked me about my allergy before letting me go on.

He cut me off midsentence when I tried to continue to list the symptoms, and brushed me off. “Did a doctor tell you it is a migraine or you call it a migraine?”

I go to him for what again huh? Someone remind me, please.

I waited one and half hour for this?!

He seemed quite impatient when I tried to tell him other symptoms (which I want to get medication for) cos he didn’t seem interested in listening, before saying, “okay, you take the painkiller and see how.”

I didn’t even feel like waiting for my medication when I walked out.

RRROOOOAAAARRRRRR.

From my wrath, you probably guessed the doctor was grumpy and not cute, which explains there was no plus factor to make my wait worthwhile.

And the fact that I still felt much of the pain when I got back that I was pretty delirious and couldn’t keep my eyes open.

Woke up from the nap with yet the same splitting headache and not feeling much better (okay, at least I can blog now) despite the lousy painkiller.

Was trying to do a planning slide but can’t seem to put a thought together before it is sliced by a sharp throb.

Oh well.

I think I need a chocolate treat. Just in need of some sugarsugar.

Hmm, the results of my 5 x-rays will come out only next week. I had the radiographer trying to tie my hair for me cos I suck at it.

Have some leave to clear before September, despite my pathetic number of annual leave, and if boss allows, I might want to accumulate it for a long, long trip end of this year.

If not, after my current project, a short backpacking trip might not seem too bad an idea too.

Let’s see where my spontaneity brings me this time.

Of course, time to fix my back if I wanna shoulder that backpack.

On a sidenote, Taylor Lautner really bloomed.

Gee, how many more days before he turns legal huh?

Yet another note.

The dangers of keeping a tube of sunscreen and a tube of deep heat in your bag at the same time is…

- When you are looking for deepheat at night for some soothing, you might actually be wearing sunscreen in the total darkness.

- But it certainly beats when you walk into the hot sun in the morning, and wondering why your cheeks are burning, and your eyes are blinking excessively as you feel the sharp, intrusive pain.
