Okay, I woke up around 3am this morning with the worst headache I've ever felt in my 42 years of life. I've had migraines before, but if you can believe it, this was 300% worse! It began at the base of my skull and from there it felt like someone had their hands on the back of my head and were trying to pop it open like a zit, for lack of better description. The pain seemed to come in waves, almost like contractions, about 2 minutes apart. Lying down didn't help, sitting up did nothing...it was just excruciating. This went on for about 3 hours. I finally got a bag of frozen peas, wrapped this in a towel and put it at the base of my neck, and took 2 Lortab 7.5 from a recent root canal, laid down and I believe... passed out. When I woke this morning I noticed dried blood around one nostril. Didn't notice this earlier. What the heck was this? Other need to know info: I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 7 years ago and it is under control with Lyrica (been on this for about 2 years now), muscle relaxers when needed, and an anti-inflamatory. Not taking any new meds, no changes to diet, exercise, environment, nothing. I seriously have never been so scared in my life. If I hadn't been alone I would have gotten to an emergency room. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
