Please Stop Now

I swear by all that I have ever held holy that if I do not get rid of this headache and pronto that I am going to kill myself in a spectacular and messy fashion.

I don't know how long it's been going on, now - two weeks? Maybe more, maybe a little less, but not much. Some days it's more in the forefront than others, but overall it's been getting worse as time goes on, and at this point it's getting in the way of functioning. My brain is working at about half-speed, and by the end of the day it takes conscious effort to comprehend basic logic. When I can't finish my workout because I can't follow what the instructor is saying, rather than because I'm short of breath or tired, there's a problem.

I've tried tylenol, and ibuprofen. I've tried caffeine, and no caffeine, and more sleep, and backrubs, and nothing helps. I'm fairly certain that if someone told me that cutting off my right hand, pan-frying it, and eating it would cure this headache that I'd go to my knife block and cutting board with a smile on my face.

Please, let it be gone by Friday, at least.....
