Migraine and Nausea - welcome back side effects!

SW ⟫ 207.7 | CW ⟫ 178.5 |

Ozempic: ⟫ 1 mg

Well last night was less than pleasant. I wasn’t sure how I was feeling all day – I guess I was on high alert for the revenge of the peanuts – but I just felt off. By the end of the evening, I had a migraine brewing and my knees were aching something fierce. Food-wise, I had porridge then cheesy chips for dinner, with some fruit and a couple of cherry Bakewell tarts.

And the nausea was unrelenting. Or should I say is unrelenting because I’ve woken up today with a slight migraine hangover and the nausea is still present. I did vape last night – Equinposa 8/8 – and I was asleep just after 11 pm, which is pretty much unheard of for me. I woke up this morning around 6 am and having had my painkillers and drank a ton of water, I think I’m going back to sleep. I just don’t feel right.

Stripes left me a bottle of water and a banana by my bedside which I really appreciate, but I can’t face the banana – my mouth just tastes revolting even after I’ve brushed my teeth. I do vaguely remember this feeling from before, so I can only assume it’s a normal side effect of the Ozempic making itself felt once again. The scales are going down once again but until I see something below 177 kg then it doesn’t count as new loss, so I’m just going to keep tootling along.

I have an ARC to read but my basic plan for today is to do some Mantra work, clean a bit of the kitchen (if I’m physically up to it) and try to drink this migraine away. If that doesn’t work, then I shall close the curtains and seclude myself in the darkness of my cave and see if I can sleep it away!
