Stop hammering my head

Stop hammering my head!!!

It was just terrible. What is?
MIGRAINE!
Today, it decided to pay my puny head a visit. i did not expect it. it came so suddenly. i was happily chatting with aNn and the next minute i know, my field of vision started to break. i lost half of my vision. scary huh? yep that's what happens whenever i get migraine. i would lose half of my vision first. once i regain my vision a terrible headache will come. it feels close to someone stretching ure veins one by one and splitting it into two. i knew its just a matter of minutes before the pounding within the head starts.

luckily i was having my free period but i knew the exam papers had to be bundled by today. so i scrambled downstairs to the office, careful not to fall coz i really could not see clearly by then. somehow i managed to bundle the papers. i knew i had to be quick coz when the pounding comes, id be too weak and sick to do anything and the vomitting will also start. i just hope i didnt make a mistake or worst, leave the confidential exam papers lying around.

after bundling, i managed to force myself to go to my last class of the day. yes, with half good vision only. i was hoping the overwhelming headache will come only after the lesson ends. i gave my pupils their homework of the week and was relieved when the bell rang. end of lesson.

i managed to find my way to the staffroom with half my vision and packed my things. by then the excruciating pounding has already started and was beginning to split my head into two. and then a crazy thing happened! tears started pouring out. i was crying! the pain was just too much for me to handle. and usually when the pounding starts, im already in the comforts of my bed, but for the first time ever, i got migraine in public. thank god my collegaues were great. someone took my last lesson and some started giving me remedies about migraine. aNn, thanks for taking the drink for me!

so i went to the office and told the P and VP im leaving. and tears started pouring out again. they must be quite shocked to see calm, collected me crying like dat. hehee. they APPEARED sympathetic. heck, i really dunt care anymore, i just want to get on my bed and close my eyes.

the taxi came after what seemed like forever. the kind cleaner accompanied me while i waited for the cab and gave me axe oil and plastic to vomit in. Finally the cab came, and in the lift of my block, i finally made use of the plastic bag. i vomitted... eww, i hate to vomit, its painful!

ahh finally, in the comforts of my bed. i tried to sleep but as usual the pain was too great for me to sleep. anyway, im much better now. but still quite groggyyy...

haiyahhh, what a way to start the fasting month. quite sad actually..such a waste...

to those who have experienced the "magic" of migraine before, u probably can understand what i went through. to those who have never got it, count yourself lucky and i pray u will never go through the feeling. coz it really feels like shit!!!!

anyone knows of a tried and tested way of preventing migraine from attacking?
if you do, i promise id be your SLAVE forever.
betol.Tak bedek!
