well just as an update -- I went to the family party. We left the house about 3pm..and were home by 7:30. I didn't feel myself by any means, but I wasn't in a slamming headache.

I put in earplugs (and trust me it was NOISY) -- I listened to ocean waves on my ipod on the half hour ride there and back.

I was exhausted when I got home...and not tolerant of much. I went to bed early (took half an ambien).

Monday morning..woke up like I have in the past few weeks...no worse. I had to take my son to the dr (half hour away) for a fractured elbow recheck...and did ok.

Today I exercised a little...yapped on the phone too much and had to do some short errands.

I feel like crap!! Guess its making its toll on me now.
