Migraine (day 2) and a rash

Yesterday was pretty rough.

It was the second day of a migraine that had me either in bed or on the couch.  When it's like this I struggle to get up.  I try to minimize getting up as much as possible....which meant I didn't drink much water.

That must be the reason for this:


That's a 1.4 lb gain in a day.  Grr. 

I'm sure the Velveeta I was eating on the couch at midnight and the late night swigs of OJ from the carton didn't help.

That's another problem with migraines.  There comes a point where I just need to eat.  It demands to be fed.  I usually end up with chips or crackers.  Last night it was Velveeta.

I don't even know why I keep that crap in the house.  It's what I call "plastic food" because when you read the ingredient list, it's almost all processed and chemical.

Still, Velveeta is one of my guilty pleasures.

I also started to get a rash yesterday.  I think it's a stress response.  This is the third time I've had a rash in the exact same place.  I've been taking Benadryl at a pretty high dose and it's keeping the rash from getting ugly. 

I wonder what the Benadryl does inflamation-wise...Anybody have experience with this?
