Girl Talk // Effed up weekend. Period. Literally.


Guess what? I will :oD


Reading all the weekend recaps today, I will sure share my weekend with you as well. Even though I know my weekend wasn't as fun as yours. Because being a woman sucks. At least once a month.

I never really suffered from migraine, but somehow my body decided to change that fact as soon as I hit the big 30. Ever since then, I have a migraine at least once a month. During THAT time of the month. When everything is blah already anyway!

Once a month in my case means suffering for one whole weekend. So that's what I did last weekend: Laying on the couch, trying to avoid the light (this includes all the fun things like TV, readings, crocheting, being outside...), cramping, hurting, migraining. No. Fun. All. Weekend. 
Well ok, there was a little fun yesterday, when my San Diego Chargers beat the Kansas City Chiefs!!!! Woooooohoooooo!

I'm mad about that fact, that I kind of missed 2 days. 2 Days of doing whatever I want to do. And that sucks big time.

But please, feel free to share you fun weekend activities in the comments!
I'd love to hear about what happened out there while I was locked up! ;o)

Meet Mrs M. // Meds talk


Migraine anyone? Is there anything worse than waking up in the morning with a hammering headache? And no booze the night before, just in case you are already judging ;o)

All the females in my family suffer from Migraine. I didn't until about 2 years ago, when I stopped the Depo Provera and now using the Nuva-Ring for birth control. Now I get a visit from "Mrs. M" (= family nickname for Migraine) at least twice a month. And I really don't like it.

What makes it worse for me is, that I am not allowed to take any Migraine meds, aka. Triptans , since I have to take 3 different anti-depressants every day. They don't get along well... Advil, Aspirine, Ibuprofen - won't work. Been there, done that.
So right now I'm sitting at the office with a Migraine. No other choice! My doc said, since I can't take Triptans, all I can do is praying for the Migraine to kick in on weekends, so I can lock myself up in a dark room, trying to find a pain-free position. But I guess my body has a different opinion about that. Looking at the screen hurts, my stomache is upset as well and I'm feeling dizzy. Oh what a day.

Maybe I should have stayed home, but working at a startup company, I know I am needed every day. So I am just trying to make it through this day.

Is there anyone elese out there with the same anti-depressant/Triptane issue? What do you guys do when a Migraine is trying to ruin your day?
