Hi All,
This was quite the week for many reasons. I am glad to say I have pushed through the headaches and I am pretty sure I know the cause. Medication does not work over extended time periods for me and 2-3 years is my limit. I will be curious to see how a meeting with a specialist goes on Thursday. Rest assured, if it resembles my previous specialist appointment, then I am restarting the search.
Due to splitting headaches Tuesday-Friday, I spent much of Saturday doing nothing. Today, I woke up knowing the headache was gone but realizing that running would only bring it back.
Do I feel bad having had to miss two scheduled runs? Yes. I persisted through a workout on Tuesday, though, even not feeling the best, because I did not expect the headache to return. Take home point - listen to your body. If you push it, injuries or permanent damage will result.
I am hoping to find a holistic or natural way to handle the issue the medication clearly cannot keep at bay anymore. Or maybe the issue will run away? I can hope.
Right now, I am thankful for the support of my coach, family, and friends. Our support groups are critical to personal and professional success.
If I can ever answer a question or point you in the direction of someone who can, say the word.
Happy Sunday!
