Covering 2 days - both not so hot

Wednesday August 8, 2007
I woke up this morning. I was tired but alert. At around 9am this morning the bottom eyelid of my left eye started twitching. It lasted all day and got worse with my head pain. I started get a pain between my right temple and the top of my right ear at around noon yesterday. It spread to my normal spot above my right eye at around 3pm. By 5pm it was on both sides of my forehead, across the top of my head ear to ear, my left temple. I also had pain in my cheek bones and jaw just below where it attaches to the skull. My pain was at a 6. I also was having difficulty concentrating and I was dizzy, and having trouble focusing and expressing thoughts verbally. I took a muscle relaxer (Flexeril) at 5:30pm. I went to bed. I got up about 10pm. I was very groggy. I took my night medication (Lyrica) at that time and went back to bed.

I have a headache still this morning it is only on the right side above my right eyebrow and the pain level is at a 3. I am still sleepy and groggy. I was a little nervous about driving to get Kelly’s coffee this morning, but I was fine. I took my morning medication (Cymbalta 6:15am) on time. My headache went down to a 2 and I felt ok until after my first meeting at 9am. I was having some troubles with speech and my lower left eyelid was twitching. The pain level did not go above a 4 until later afternoon around 3pm. Once at home we went out to eat. I still had head pain. I took a muscle relaxer at 8:34pm and my night medication (Lyrica 8:55pm) on time and went to bed. As we get closer I am growing more impatient to get to Utah. Even if we don’t get any answers we will have at least eliminated something else.
