Subtitled: I have a neckache in my head.
I have the weirdest headache this morning. Weird...and PAINFUL!! It started out not hurting continuously, only when I would turn my head in a way it did not deem appropriate. At which point, some 'invisible dude' would slam an icepick into the side of my head! Yeowtch! And just as quickly, he retracts it - and the pain is gone.
I'm standing there, stunned, sure that I've been 'icepicked' - but, with no lingering pain as evidence. It's been quite the odd morning, yes, it has. (Who keeps letting invisible people in my house, anyway?)
I got the kids all out the door and on their appropriate buses and came back in to have some coffee and eggs. Big mistake. I was chewing a bite of eggs and WHAMMO! BLAMMO! That darn icepick man hit me and hit me hard! I was extremely startled - this was the most painful 'blow' so far, causing me to GASP! and send a chunk of egg hurtling into my windpipe! So next thing you know, I'm coughing and hacking and choking on egg - and after the 'whammo blammo' - my head was quite sore, and the coughing was making it worse. I felt like I'd stepped off the elevator on the bottom level - you know - that place!
So, anyway - I haven't had a 'whammo blammo' with quite that much force again (Thank God!) but, the pain is still lingering.
I, of course, was convinced, that it was a brain aneurysm and that I'd die alone while everyone went to work and school. (Is it super-hypochondriac of me - or just super-speller of me - that I can actually even spell aneurysm?!)
I've since calmed down, and explained to myself that it is just a neck ache in my head. I'm serious. I'm so not kidding you. I have a neck ache on that side, anyway. I've had it for days. And you know, when you get a really sore neck, and if you turn it just so - accidentally, how excruciating it can be? Well, that is EXACTLY what it feels like - only it is in my head. So somehow the pain in my neck was nice enough to extend itself into my head.
And no, I don't have a brain tumor. Sheesh.

I get that sometimes too, I wonder what causes it?
I don't know, but, it's not making me a happy camper - I'll be happy when it's gone! How long do yours last?
I have sooo been there too. You need a nice massage from a guy named Javiar and a tropical cool drink. =)
