The last two days I've been in fierce pain with a tension-type headache at the base of my head/neck. I remember getting one of these in my last pregnancy, but it didn't last two full days. I know I'm fighting some kind of bug, because I've also got some lovely sinus pressure and my throat is sore along with swollen lymph nodes. Just ouch.
I spent the day resting yesterday, hoping it would give me what I needed to get going today. Not so. I'm down for the day today, too. This really stinks. I haven't been following my eating plan because it just hurts too much to move and *get* the food to eat. Blah. And, of course, exercise is out. Well, I did get in some walking last night while we were outside caroling. I needed to keep the littles busy during the second run of carols, so I got something in, I guess. If it wasn't for the tylenol, I wouldn't have made it, that's for sure.
I hope tomorrow brings some relief. I'm reading that poor posture is the culprit. Likely they are right. I've been using my resting time to work on christmas gifts, which means I'm keeping my neck in a not so good position. However, it seems to hurt most after I sleep. I woke up with it feeling the worst both mornings and after my nap this afternoon. Makes me wonder a bit about my sleep positioning. And, we already know my sleep woes. Sigh.
Pray I can find some relief from the pain so I don't miss worship with my family tomorrow. Pray I can beat this before it gets worse. I have had fluid in my ears for over a week now, so I know my body is fighting and without my mega doses of vit. c, I'm afraid it's losing. :(
