And on top of everything else, food poisoning!

Great. Just great.
About eleven hours ago, I went to sleep feeling vaguely depressed and uneasy, and drained. Eight or nine hours ago I woke up with the most powerful, splitting migraine I've ever had in my entire life. On the scale of "someone is using a thermal drill to attempt to destroy your brain stem" level. Constant, stabbing, and impossible to ignore. I managed to get someone else to bring me a tylenol only to immediately upchuck it and what little else was in my stomach.
Surprisingly, then the migraine started to fade - but it was replaced by a fever. I needed two blankets just to stay warm, and I was shivering violently even underneath them. Somehow I got to sleep, and now here I am. I feel better - my head still hurts but not to the same extent, and I still feel cold and nauseous, but less so. My housemates suspect food poisoning, and I do too. I've got no idea what caused it. Maybe the McDonalds, but I ate a lot of different things twelve hours before I slept.
This week needs to go die. At the very least I'm making journals more, huh? :/
Maybe when I next get a chance I'll sit down and talk more about my mental fatigue issues... I talked a lot about what was bothering me in the last post, but I didn't talk about the intrinsic problems I have with feeling drained on a /regular/ week. Maybe it's an ADD thing. I don't know. Anyway.
Don't worry too much. I'll see a doctor if it gets too serious.

It was a pressure build up, I had to throw up- and I did like a water cannon when I finally did.
I've read that breathing deep will help with indigestion and acid reflux, that a major cause of it is likely a weakening in the diaphragm. Indeed breathing deep from the stomach helped in recovery. I started to get such a reaction last night from a Taco Bell product, but subsided shortly after I sat up and took some such deep breaths.
My apologies if that was too much information, just trying to relate.
I don't blame the McDonalds I ate from. I have a sensitive stomach. It's possible most of it was an immune overreaction - I've had those before. Still, it was really nasty. I didn't realize food poisoning could cause a migraine, though - yet I've no other explanation for why I had one and why it went away as soon as I purged it. Deep breathing did help the nausea, but not the intense pain in my head and supersensitivity to noise. X.x
Anyway thanks you for your sympathy.
I hope the best for you.
