Every nine to ten months I get hit with a few days of mild cluster headaches. I say mild because if you read the Wikipedia article that I linked, some people are hit with such intensely painful headaches that they need to go to the hospital and receive IV medication to calm the pain. Yeesh…
My headaches set in and they just don’t go away. On Monday night this week, I started to get a small headache and it stayed with me until this morning. In between Monday and this morning, I’ve loaded up on Excedrin Migraine and Excedrin PM and though they’ve provided some relief, you just have to wait these things out.
Some added stress at my job as played a part in this, I’m sure (I just found out that it’s common knowledge among my colleagues that the Executive Director of our 10 person office can’t stand my work). I’ve also got a 100 – 150 person fraternity workshop that I’ve been planning for a few months which will take place this weekend at Monmouth University. That has also added some stress to my daily routine.
Hopefully, these cluster headaches are gone until the Thanksgiving/Christmas time when I’ll be so full of holiday spirit that I won’t be too annoyed by them anyway!
