Cautiously optimistic

[miss_lucy21]

My tension headache from hell has receded somewhat. It's still there, but it's at mostly ignorable levels. It's been joined by a sinus headache, because the weather's gone flipping around, but if I couldn't ignore a sinus headache, I wouldn't get much done (I do all right so long as it doesn't feel like someone is shoving an icepick through my eye, and even then, I usually manage to get on with my day anyway). My neck is starting to sound like someone stuffed it full of styrofoam packing peanuts and they're rubbing against each other when I stretch it, which usually means that things are loosening up to some extent. And I've been largely successful at noticing when my shoulders are around my ears and fixing that situation, even if I haven't been able to prevent them from tensing up in the first place (that's a mostly unrealistic expectation).

I'd still rather be asleep at pretty much any time I'm not asleep, but that's ADHD related as much as pain related and it'll go away once I don't have to concentrate quite so hard on every step of the unfamiliar things I'm working on (different flavor of I don't want to get out of bed than depression. It's more physical/mental than emotional).

So, this week might be somewhat better than I was expecting.
