So, for all of you who visit looking for some optimistic insights about living your healthiest, happiest, bestest life – today’s not the day – sorry. I went to the neurologist’s office yesterday for Botox. Things are hectic here at the moment too, so maybe it’s stress, or maybe it was food poisoning, or maybe it was the Botox… regardless, I felt sick all night, and having got next to no sleep, I feel like sh!t (sorry).
I’m begging some advice rather than blogging today. Given the subject relates to throwing up, unless you’re a fellow ‘sicko’, you might want to come back tomorrow!

I woke up in the middle of the night with what I call a ‘midnight migraine’. I took my half-a-tablet of a Triptan and two big glasses of water to help them dissolve and get absorbed better, and hopefully help with hydration… because we all know how the mantra goes; “drink more water.”
When I got back into bed, however, it was if I could feel the water moving through my body and sloshing around inside my stomach – and it made me want to throw up.
I lay on my back, but my stomach – the actual organs inside me – felt like they were falling in on themselves – and it made me want to throw up.
So, I lay on my side, but my bent knee seemed to crush my stomach – and it made me want to throw up.
I lay on my back again, but then it was the blanket pushing on my neck that made me feel gaggy, and yeah – it made me want to throw up.
If I rolled over too fast, breathed too deeply, sighed too loudly – all of it, everything, anything – it made me want to throw up.
UGH – the pain in my head eventually went away with the medication, but I stayed up all night feeling like I was going to throw up.
So, this is a call out to anyone else who gets nauseous in the night – I’d love to know if you have any tips or tricks that might help.
Trying to take care, Linda x
