Strike TWO

Yesterday I was in such a rush to get back to work for inventory that I forgot to take my Camelbak bottle...

Didn't drink enough water during the day I guess because today I woke up with another migraine...

I really don't need any more proof that dehydration is a trigger for me...

I cannot let this happen again!

Ugh!!!

So, I didn't drink my water on Tuesday and spent half of Wednesday with a migraine...

I can never do that again!

1st migraine in 10 days...

Woke up with a migraine this morning, but I still think I am onto something with the dehydration thing...

I believe this was my regular/usual migraine that could not have been prevented by an ocean of water.

So I'm not necessarily going to count this one, unless I get another one before next month.

So ready for vacation...

and it's just over 9 weeks away!

So ready to get back to Georgia and try a little more walker stalkin' ...

BUT FIRST...

I'm still trying to get through the remainder of July without a migraine. This is day 6 since my last...

Hydrate - Hydrate - Hydrate !!!

Today I bought myself a little gift to help with my daily hydration:

The 1L Camelbak Eddy water bottle.

If I drink 2 of those a day I should be good to go. 

It's day 5 since I started drinking the extra water... no signs of a migraine yet (fingers crossed) and the kidney pain is barely there.

Now I am just dealing with quite a bit of nausea from the Cipro I'm taking for the UTI. I will be SO happy for Thursday to come and go... that's when my last dose will be taken.

Water - Day 4

It's day 4 of my self diagnosis/treatment plan for the weekly migraines I've had this month.

I'm now up to 64 oz of water per day and I'm finishing earlier each day. Today I finished it all before leaving work. That's pretty good considering the first day it took me 12 hours and it was only 50 oz.

I really hope this works...

Day 1

In addition to my usual cup of coffee in the morning and 2nd after dinner, I managed to drink a 50 oz bottle of water.

Go me !

Got a call from the doctor confirming that my test results showed I do have a UTI. Starting on antibiotics tomorrow... the increased water intake should help with that too.

I really hope this helps with the migraines too...

Headache test...

I wonder if the reason I've had so many migraines this month has something to do with the heat...

I know I don't drink enough water, never have...

Maybe I'm dehydrated.

Starting tomorrow I'm going to increase my water intake and see if it helps.

I was supposed to do that for the kidney thing anyway... might be able to fix both things at once. 

Migraine today...

Woke up to it around 3 am... did not go to work this time. Very tired of them.

Another day another migraine...

wow! seriously... ?

Why am I getting migraines every week now?

UGH...

I am getting really tired of this.

If I get another one within the week I guess I'll be making an appointment with my doctor so I can at least get a refill on my Relpax.

Let's see just this month I had migraines on the 5th, 11th, 13th and 18th.

Lazy day...

I did not sleep well last night. Woke up a few times and checked on kitty because of rain. Felt like I might be going to have a migraine today.  I was not wrong.

Got up at 7:00 to make sure the cats got their breakfast and then fell asleep on the couch with Orion for THREE hours!

Took the Relpax when I got up and went out to get breakfast at 11:00.  The migraine is gone but the medicine makes me feel gross for most of the day. 

I am doing a backup on The BFC now, so I am going to watch a movie in a few and eat my last package of Candy's Popcorn that I got at Supercon last weekend. Yum!
