Got my little rental cabin on Craigslist last night, 6 emails within a couple of hours. Now the trick is to feel well enough to show it. High in only teens today, so maybe Wednesday. Legs lock up when I get cold.
Woke up with horrendous headache this morning. Something new. Thought it was sinuses, but worst ever, clear over head to occipital and neck. Tried saline spray because it was way too early to get up. No relief after an hour, so chewed the bedside Norco. Just barely able to get out of bed at 8, dragged to kitchen by sheer will for tramadol and a hot cup of coffee. (caffeine and moist heat) Called PCP. He said take a Valium to relax neck muscles, will call me back to check. It may be occipital neuralgia on top of my daily sinus headache from dry air. Can't eat - nausea. Seeing ENT tomorrow. This must be what it's like to have migraines - sorry for those who have them. This is the only horrible headache I've ever had. Worse than even my chronic nerve pain.
Part of my problem is finding a way to get my neck comfortable at night. I tried a memory foam pillow, but it gets hard and doesn't come back up when I try to turn. Soft pillow isn't working. May have to sleep on pillows on couch. They're comfortable during the day.
It's sunny and we just got touched by the winter storm. Only a couple of inches of snow. I feel for the people south of us who got hammered.
