Since starting the newest medications, my headaches have been stable - a daily ache of short duration and low intensity, one or two on the pain scale. Until this past week. Ah, returning to life as I knew it stressed my brain and I have had five full days of non-stop throbbing reaching 6 or 7 on the pain scale for much of the time. Nothing seemed to intervene. Today, after a good night's rest, the throb is way down but I feel the right side of my face begging to sleep, my right eye half closed, the dark circles under both eyes indicating my dis-ease.
The RPI alumni magazine came in the mail. It seems a classmate has written a book on sports concussions and the need for rest of body, mind and emotions. Would it were so that I had such luxury.
