Today we have quite a good breeze, and cooler than the last couple of days. Yesterday I had a rotten day of migraine and couldnt bend over without feeling dizzy and nauseous etc. Had to accept the situation and just get through the day, which I did. Couldnt read or watch tv or do much at all.

Better than yesterday, but still not 100% and didnt feel up to doing anything much , and not up to going out in the wind and sunshine to the market. But I find myself trying to do various things and then having to give up, and I feel more annoyed about it today instead of just accepting it like yesterday. I think that having to miss the opportunity to get out on a cooler day is part of it. Just have to hope that things improve tomorrow, and it stays a bit cooler. Dont see why I am more uptight today than yesterday!

There's a virus going round, a stomach bug causing sickness and/or stomach pain, some have diarrhoea and high temperature.

Take it easy and drink plenty of fluids, perhaps sports drinks of you have them.

Hope your feeling better tomorrow listen to your body, you will soon be out again on the yellow peril.

Ps hope you'll feel better tomorrow and don't try to do too much.

madeleine I hope you feel better tomorrow. I occasionally have a day where I can't face doing anything. Today was one of those. I slept and read for most of it. I refuse to feel guilty and I know I will do more later today or tomorrow. Take care of yourself

I get migraines too, Madeleine and call those post-migraine days ‘cottonwool brain days’. The actual headache goes but I feel out of sorts. I hope tomorrow is better for you - get well soon. flowers

I get vestibular migraines, they make me feel sick and dizzy. I usually have to stay in bed the first day, then usually I’m up and about the 2nd day but not much good to anyone. They’re very annoying and time thief’s but there’s worse things. Hope you feel a whole lot better tomorrow.
