The headache followed me through to today. I’m chasing after it again. Yesterday it totally got away from me. I should be able to stay on top of it today. It got so bad yesterday that I passed out from it. Finally some cooler weather today, and some rain. It’s still in the 70’s, which is a bit too warm and humid to be walking around in rain gear. I’m waiting for the 55-60F weather, with low humidity. Basically waiting until the weather hear emulates Northern California.
I did a church walk with my rain gear on. Boy was that miserable. So hot and sweaty. Just like I expected. I’m feeling really slow, sluggish, exhausted again. That headache took a lot out of me. It flared up the fibromyalgia yesterday too. The headache is still with me, but very slowly fading. It will be gone by tomorrow. With this pain, I always feel like I need to pass out or that I need sleep. I feel like I have to actively keep myself awake. I have to actively fight the pain every second of the day. It’s like paying attention to your breathing every second of every day. You can’t do anything else, and it will drive you insane. Nobody can do that every second. Thank goodness it is an automatic process for us. But pain control is not automatic. It takes constant, active control, and it takes everything out of me.
