Headaches have been something that occasionally crept up on me every few months and then after a Tylenol or two, they would go back into hibernation. I always found it curious when people complained about constant migraines and having headaches every day. I never knew I should have the utmost sympathy for them, until now. Not since high school pole vaulting have I taken painkillers like I have this last week. And back then, it was only because I was repeatedly shot through the air from upwards of 18 feet, occasionally hitting the metal standards before bouncing off the pole vault mats and onto the unforgivably hard ground to then be run over by a pack of long-distance runners that just happened to be strolling by.
But I digress — it must be the headaches. These headaches are hampering my ability to think clearly, work effectively and are draining whatever energy I have left. I know exactly what is causing them and my only solace is that in early June they might recede a little or even dissipate completely. However, I’m scared what may happen afterward, what kind of pain and repercussions will appear? And there is always the chance, although quite slim, that that day in June will be my last. Bah, at this point I don’t care, the constant throbbing and headaches are killing me just the same.
Current mood: grumpy

Wow. You either have the worst caffeine withdrawal ever or something else. I hope your head feels better sooner than June – ‘cuz that’s a long time from now.
haha, no it’s not caffeine, guess I should have actually mentioned what was wrong with me. I’m so cryptic sometimes, although it feels more like crippled. In fact, caffeine has actually helped fight my headaches. And sadly, I’ll be battling these incapacitating mind attacks and throbbing pain from my mouth until the dentists with their knives and scalpels have their way with me. And that’s not until June. The biggest problem is that I can’t focus on anything in a time where I need to be at the top of my game! Thinking clearly, even to write this is a struggle and here I am trying to create a website, business cards and a kick ass portfolio by Friday while still keeping up with schoolwork and keeping this house clean and functioning…bah.
Perhaps yoga could help to subside the pain you feel (To a slight degree). While you meditate, think of the benefits your body will have after all of this is over. For instance, this problem is draining your body—making you tired, because your body thinks you are under an infection. Therefore, your immunity is gaining strength this very moment. In June, you will be Superman!
Good luck friend.
If you’re talking about wisdom teeth, expect them to last about the week then leave for a long time.
Interesting fact: caffeine thins your blood and relieves pressure in the brain.
I wish it was just my wisdom teeth, but alas, I lost them long ago.
