Taking the rest of the week off

With everything going on right now I decided to take the rest of the week off. Unfortunately Joel had to go back to work today.

I am stressed and so anxious right now I can't sleep, I can't eat much and today I have a horrible headache. My stomach hurts but not nearly as bad as the other day so the meds are helping. I am so tired and nothing helps. I see my therapist today and I'm going to ask him if he can give me something stronger to help me sleep tonight. Just for a few nights until we move.

I would be pretty useless there right now anyway.

So I'm going to spend the day packing and. I'll be so glad when this month is over and we get moved in to the house.

Oh boy. Sounds like a killer stress headache. I had those for almost two weeks straight, until I figured out that they were STARTING in my neck. My neck and shoulder muscles were so tense that it was causing a non-stop headache, (which gets old really fast!).

So I tried icing the whole area...and that got old really fast, too, because who has time during a busy day to SIT with ice packs on their neck and shoulders?

Finally, I remembered that I had some BioFreeze cream and I just slathered that stuff on my shoulders, rubbed it in...then rubbed it into my neck on both sides and right up into the back of my skull. I only had to do this for four days or so, and then I felt something in my neck and upper shoulder just sort of...POP. I think it was a tendon...which had been all contracted.

The nice thing about BioFreeze is that you can rub it in and go and do what you need to do, knowing you've tried, at least. It doesn't work the first day. But it's worth trying!
