should i stay or should i go now?

[alleycat]

yeah my head has been pounding for the last 2 days. its borderline migraine but not quite there yet. as long as i am sitting its fine but if i get up, i get really weak and dizzy and my head feels like its goign to explode. you know when you hold your breath in too long or you get light headed and everything feels euphoric? thats how i feel if i get up.
i dont really have much to do at work here so i could leave at noon if i so choose. i have sick time so thats not really an issue. i just dont like leaving work. i just ran into someone else who has the same problem too. he is leaving at noon. so the question is... do i go home and lay around all afternoon or do i stay here and tough it out? if i go home, i know i will end up cleaning the house and doing dishes and laundry. if i stay here... i will be sort of working.

"Is it ok if I take a half day sick? I have had a migraine for the last 2 days and it's making me ill. I already talked to Dave and he agreed to start my testing at 4pm today so nothing will be behind. I did at all prep work, he just has to flip a switch.
Let me know. Thanks Tommy B!

the days more then 1/2 way over now so i'd stick it out and call in tomorrow if it's still bad.

 

[alleycat]

it's not even noon for me homer.

 

[Boomer]

I would bounce. You cant work like that.

 

[alleycat]

i dont really have anythign to do anyways except flip a switch at 4 but dave said he would do that.

 

[Boomer]

I'd leave a letter and bounce. Then at 2 I would call my boss to speak with him personally and let him know the situation. There is no reason to sit there and suffer because you need to flip a switch.*nodz*

[Veronica]

I know how ya feel! I had a splitting headache over the weekend for almost 3 days. It was to the point that I was crying cause it was hurting so bad and I hardly ever get headaches. I think I took everything that I had here at the house to try to get rid of it but nothing was working. So I gave in and drove myself to the express care clinic Sat afternoon (when I got there they were closed ) So I went to Walgreens and got some Excedrin Migraine (which I have been told works wonders) and I took 2 and within 20 min that killer headache was gone!! I was impressed how fast they worked!!

 

[alleycat]

really?? hrmm.... Advil isnt cutting it but maybe ill pick that up and try that. thanks misses b!!

 

[alleycat]

Im really glad I came home. I got home at 1 and slept till 430. I had a fever of 100.2. I usually run around 97.1.

 

[AUDRAA]

is the headache gone?

 

[alleycat]

not at all.

 

[AUDRAA]

I would just take a migraine pill then, and see if it goes away it wont hurt anything

 

[alleycat]

that excederin migraine like you suggested?

 

[AUDRAA]

that wasnt me that was Amy, try that, but I thought you said you had Imitrex?

 

[alleycat]

oh thats right. sorry im kinda still outta it. i do have some imitrex but it wont do anything unless u get it before the migraine starts.

 

[AUDRAA]

didnt you say it wasnt quite started yet? ok Im lost nvm me then

 

[alleycat]

oh sorry... its like borderline migraine/headache right now. i have had it for 2 days now. if it was a migraine i would have had to catch it like...20 min into it or before.
