I woke this morning at 4am with a massive #migraine already in progress. Easily an 8 on the (relatively useless) pain scale. If this one had an aura, I slept through it. Ugh.

Got up and took some Tylenol. The pain has moved from acute severe to chronic annoying. Yes, Tylenol. Can't take NSAIDs due to #CKD. No Rx meds for the migraines as they don't occur often enough to meet the criteria. 🤷‍♀️

On top of everything else, I've been dealing with a sinus infection for a bit over three weeks. I saw a doctor this past Tuesday, and got an Rx for Augmentin.

Today, I was feeling better. So what did I do? Yes, I overdid. I decided to assemble my new office chair, among other things.

Now I have a #fibro flare in full bloom. My back especially is on fire, and I'm walking like a 90 year old grandma. This is probably good night. 🤷‍♀️😢

Lovely afternoon. TMI.

First there was extreme vertigo, accompanied by excessive sweating.

Less than a minute later the projectile vomiting began. That continued for 30 to 45 minutes. That settled down about an hour ago. haven't tried to even take a sip of water since it finally stopped. I'm afraid it'll start up again if I do.

Such a fun time. Now the migraine is beginning to manifest.

I stumbled on my stairs earlier this evening. No major issue at the time. Caught myself and didn't fall. Just got up from resting (couple of hours) and I felt a lovely sharp pain behind my left knee with every step. Wrapped the knee with an ace bandage.

The additional support seems to have been what I needed in the short term. I've been having some fun with that leg the last couple of weeks. Swelling at foot, ankle, and knee. Probably gout. Life as a #spoonie is really a blast.
