Log

This past week was a pretty good week as far as headaches go.  I was pretty sore and tired after the triathlon, but the high seemed to get me out of my rut.  That or the hormones finally leveled out.  Today was good too.  Last night I went to be pretty late- around 1:30.  Had crazy but good dreams(the kind you just don't want to wake up from) of long lost friend until the baby woke me around 3 and wouldn't go back to bed until 4.  This resulted in a grumpy mom at 7, and my poor kids put up with me.  I snapped out of the grumps and layed low.  I was even somewhat productive in my daily work.  Started a new course of scripture study for personal growth.  Cleaned up awesomely.  Had dinner ready for my family even though I ran out to go give blood as soon as husband got home from work.

I think I am ready to report to my doctor and realize I don't have a lot to tell her except a general overall impression of how I am feeling and a general impression of progress I can't really back up.  I need to start again on my headache log.  I have been reading up on several headache blogs the importance of communication to the docs and how valuable this sort of tool is in this communication.  I have tried to keep logs over my decades of suffering, however I am always unable to keep it going.  I have always tried to make my logs very detailed- I might just resort to a five minute recall at the end of the day and any general ideas as to why or why not I endured pain.  I need to do this.
