Diary of a migraine

Sorry this is not terribly interesting and sounds sort of whinging. Today is Day 4 of a fairly bad migraine. I’m not looking for sympathy or help, just noting the progress of the symptoms for my own future reference.
Day 1: Notice some blinking white spots in front of my eyes but they are not my usual visual disturbances. Feeling a little tired, assume it’s the hot weather. Don’t really twig that this could be a migraine.
Day 2: Nauseated. Pupils are unevenly dilated. Flat surfaces seem to buckle and melt. The left side of my head feels bigger than the right side and I can’t speak straight–the words come out in the wrong order. No bad pain, so I get on with the day, go to the beach, have a bbq with friends. No alcohol since I know that will make it worse.
Day 3: Sharp pains begin stabbing my head in the morning. Try to nap, but they keep waking me up. Spend the entire day in bed, reading. In the late afternoon, I discover I am slightly feverish. Fall asleep by 10:15.
Day 4: Wake to occasional stabs and cold explosions in my head. Some nausea, but tolerable. My entire left side feels dulled and swollen (of course it’s not any bigger than normal) Everything is too loud and bright. Still feverish. Pupils uneven again. Eyes hurt. Shiatsu took away some of the dullness, but none of the pain.
I am annoyed with how long this is going on. I have things to do but no energy to do them. C’mon body, behave.
