Good morning!
Thanks for all y’alls sweet comments last night regarding my migraine. 
Unfortunately it was a BAD one…probably the worst I’ve had in a very long time. I finally took two excedrin migraine around 10:00, watched Walk the Line (best movie ever) and then fell asleep around midnight with ice packed on my forehead. Hot. Woke up this morning still with the headache, took two more excedrin migraine, drank some black tea, laid down with MORE ice on my head and now I’m feeling a little bit better…finally. Ugh is right. And blackberry is apparently down, which is a whole other headache in itself. Wasn’t life so much simpler pre-cellphone? Ahh the good ol’ days.
I knew I would feel better if I ate something substantial even though I felt so icky!

Hope you feel better Jenna!
i think taking the day off from bikram would be a good decision! feel better though
Ice packs and triangle pose? I will have to try that the next time I get a migraine. Imitrex/ Excedrin migraine (don’t worry, not at the same time!) don’t cut it for me!
I totally feel you on the migraines, Jenna. They are the WORST. I wanted to tell you that I often got them after doing bikram yoga and I was convinced it was somehow related to the fact that I somehow dehydrated myself. So, maybe trying drinking A TON of water? I actually take prescription medicine for mine, but the ones I got after bikram were a bit different. Anyway, I know it seems pretty ordinary, but sometimes bikram is intense, we don’t even realize how much water we lost.
Hope you feel better soon!
Ugh, migraines are the worst, I’m so sorry.
I’ve stopped taking migraine medication (unless I’m in a situation where I really need it), but I find that a cup of coffee and some really strong cups of ginger tea (just grated ginger root or powder in water) keep the worst of the pounding and nausea away.
I hope you feel better soon!
I’m sorry to hear you’re still not feeling in great shape. Rest is probably the best thing you can do.
Hi Jenna,
I hope you feel better soon, the symptoms sound awful
I just wanted to say Hi, I started reading your blog about a week ago, and I find it so informative on how to eat healthy and look after your body! I’m on a mission to try and get healthy as I need to loose alot of weight. Thanks for everything you share here – I hope to get some time over the holidays to read though some of your older posts.
Take care!

aww hope u feel better!! Walk the line is def a great movie! tho maybe not with a migraine!
Sorry, Migraines suck….feel better:-) Aloha
So sorry to hear about your migraine. Hope to hear a good report about it in the morning!!
Getting homesicks is totally understandable girl! I think you’re taking the right steps to dealing with it though, aka staying active and getting out of the house. Keep truckin’
Sorry to hear about your migraine! I too get them once in awhile. I read in one of Joel Fuhrman’s books that tea can be a migraine trigger for some people, and I found it to be true! Even decaf. Now I drink ginger, cinnamon, and such non-leaf teas. But then again, I have lots of food triggers, but just in case, I thought I would share. Hope the rest of the week was migraine-free!
I haven’t seen walk the line yet, but I guess I will have to see it. Most of the reviews I read say it is really great.
