After a shunt revision, laparoscopic surgery on my peritoneal region, and the worst cold in five years, I am starting to feel better. I'm not sleeping 12 hours a night any more, more like nine or ten.
However, today I awoke with a monstrous headache of unknown origin. The barometric pressure isn't currently changing, so it can't be a weather migraine. I don't remember what I ate two days ago, but after taking two migraine pills the headache was as bad as when I awoke. I tried an Advil cold & sinus (taken for a gluten headache,) no relief. I then tried 4mg of Zanaflex (a muscle relaxer) and a nap. When I awoke, the headache was STILL with me, but down to a dull roar. I've eaten regularly today, so maybe this is just a headache, that all people with hydrocephalus suffer with.
Despite the headache, I was able to get out and run some errands. Most of the time I don't let a mere headache get in the way of my life. The last thing to try is some mindful meditation. That might help to relax the headache away. Hopefully there won't be a repeat tomorrow.
Maybe this will be the last hurrah, after this headache I can start to get back to feeling like myself. :-)
