This is a personal blog of a guy who has had an intractable headache since September 7, 2011...day in day out, without relief. I also have conditions known as Intracranial Hypertension, Syringomyelia, and Hypermobility Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and Dysautonomia that hurt me daily and disrupt my life. These are my thoughts and adventures. In 2015 we ran off into the woods to live in a DIY off-grid solar cabin with no public utilities. This is my outlet. Read if you like.

Headache Diary Day 52: Sleeping In = Throbbing Skull
I finally got to sleep in this morning after running around every day last weekend and then teaching all week. In doing so, I slept 3 hours past my 6am dose of Indomethacin and awoke to a throbbing head on the right side. This only re-affirms to me that this is a permanent condition (Hemicrania Continua). Since the headache was full-blown...it took a couple of hours for it to go away entirely. That stated, the Indomethacin did its job once more and masked the headache until about 30 minutes from my next dose eight hours later. Will be up until about 1am tonight as my sleeping in got my schedule off routine for my medicine. Guess this is one way that this headache continues to run my life as of late. My schedule of waking and sleeping coincides with the 8 hour doses of the only medicine that has brought me any relief.
