The past couple of days have been weird. On the way home from work on tuesday I had real trouble keeping my eyes open. I thought I was shattered and my eyes were just giving up on me. I was tired though but when I got home I seemed fine.

Yesterday had me stressed to the high heavens with work but by the time I went home I was feeling the same except I’d completely lost my appetite at work so had no lunch and was very slightly disorientated. You know the way you get when you just a little to drunk and you move your head and it takes a second for your brain to catch up? Thats how I’ve been. Add into that a blinding headache, sore jaws and kidneys, an inability to either keep warm or stay cool and I’m generally not a happy chappy.

It’s always the same. I get a migraine and its either someone trying to put an icepick through one of my eyes for 10 minutes or its 3 days of feeling like I’m drunk and really hungover at the same time. It’s only been today that I’ve actually read up on migraines and it seems almost all of my symptoms from my mysterious stomach bug I keep getting can be attributed to my migraines. About the only one I can think of thats not quite in line is the length of time my stomach plays up for during my bouts of illness.

This wouldn’t actually be all that bad except becuase of my sick record this year I’m having to work through most of the times I’d normally call in sick. Today for example I’d usually take 2 co-codamol and let that knock me for six so that I’m not bothered by the pain or discomfort. As is I’m having to take one pill and work through it all whilst my head swims and home I don;t conk out at my desk fast asleep. I have to say though I’ve done not to bad today as anytime I’ve felt as though I was about to drop off I went for a walk and the cold in the central stairwells woke me right back up again.

So yeah, I’ve got a docs appointment tomorrow to see if they can work out whats going on. I’m trying really hard not to read symptoms and automatically assume thats what I have. I did that once with diabetes and it turned out I just drank to much irn bru. The caffiene was keeping me awake giving me sore eyes and keeping me thirsty and the more I drank the more I went to the toilet. Simple answer when you think about it.
