She offered to draw an Epsom salt bath for me after dinner since I was hurting so much. She’s a sweetheart💕

830 2nd bloody nose while in tub. Lasted couple minutes. Head pounding.
900 head still pounding. Taking migraine pill to ease headache.

Curious if my headaches/migraines and nosebleeds can be related?

It’s not overly dry outside. In fact it’s quite the opposite due to Hurricane Laura in the Gulf. It’s very humid. My BP is under control with rx though I haven’t checked it in a while. I’m pretty sure I don’t have a nose infection. Unsure about anemia. I don’t inhale chemicals nor do I take wage in or any other blood thinners. I do have a TBI.

645 woke to another bloody nose. Makes me feel very weak and drained of all energy. Headache.
1045 headache increasing. Sudden sharp stabbing pains in center of chest. Stop me in my tracks.

600p bloody nose again. My nose hurts. Feeling weak and drained. Face hurts. Head hurts.
730p Feeder bands from hurricane causing periodic storms today. Storming now.
950 migraine now rages. I’m irritated and very moody. Trying to talk with me sister on phone but having trouble hearing bc hubby talking. Throws me his phone telling me to read his text to my sister. His phone blinds me and hurts my eyes bc brightness all way up. My brightness all way down and is still too bright. Ugh!
Sipping stress relief tea to see it’ll ease headache and calm my nerves. Wanted chammolie but I’m out.
Mom offered me an ashwaghanda in church but I had to decline bc I’m allergic. She forgot. It’s okay.
Looks like I need to schedule Dr apt. Spot on neck is more welty and lump on lft arm looks like it’s growing. Ugh!
I guess its good I’m spacing out. Have chiro apt tomorrow. Can let him see what’s going on.
Tired of the nosebleeds. Nose hurts. Put vasoline in end of nostrils to soothe. Feels weird. Head pounding even in dark room. Whole body hurts.

530 woke to nosebleed and migraine. Took migraine rx (relpax).
745a Dr apt. Dr concerned about my needing to wear sunglasses inside. Told him have bad headache and been dealing with migraines this week. Also been in great pain bc of the Hurricane. Oh, and bloody noses. He agreed there’s a great change in barometric pressure with the hurricane. He said bloody noses could be related.
Definitely in a bad way this week. Every point he touched was severely sensitive. Admitted I had water leaking from my eyes.
Acupuncture (2 in back of neck, 2 in tops of shoulders, 2 in mid back, 2 in each hand).
Adjust neck & upper back. Iced head. Go back in one week.
930 feel crash on comin6. Going to lay down a piece
145 Joe woke me. Wow! I didn’t plan on sleeping that long. Must have needed it. I’m still tired, but headache has eased enough that lights aren’t hurting. Bright lights are different story.
530 Dezirae curling my hair for my date.
Joe and I are going on a double date tonight, but it’s with a couple I’ve never met before and will actually be a marriage counseling session. I can’t give details but the husband suffered through a very traumatic experience recently. Joe thought that I might be able to help due to some of the issues I’ve dealt with from my LS.
I’m flooded with emotions. This is way out of my comfort zone, but I’m humbled and excited how God is allowing this cracked pot to be used for His glory!
1159 awkward at first but Joe broke ice by mentioning that I was struck by lightning three yrs ago. They asked questions and I answered. Once inside restaurant, they knew several people. It was cool. Ended up getting free birthday cake. Joe & I shared a plate. It was hard for me to keep up with the conversations. I’d also got tired. Able to share couple things that help me.
Think it went well. They both need help, but don’t we all.
I’m exhausted and have headache. Night rx taken. Tylenol taken. Headache getting stronger. Whole body aches. Sinuses congested but at least haven’t had another bloody nose since this am. Chiropractor helped.
