Oh my god, I soooo feel your pain! Migraines are the absolute worst and even though you can try to find things to distract you from it for a while, they always stick with you until you go to sleep. Seriously, that's the ONLY cure for me. Even if it's like 7pm, if my migraine is bad enough, I try to go to sleep and I just tell myself, "If I can just fall asleep, I'll be okay!" When you have a migraine that bad, it's like you can't even remember what it's like to feel normal. And to have one like that in WDW is the worst! I get them all the time but luckily, never in WDW. BTW, forgetting the one thing you asked for is sooooo something Tom would do!
Ughhh, I hate migraines! I keep saying I'm going to go to a dr. and get prescription migraine medicine, but I hate the thought of going through all the testing. Sleep is usually the only thing that works for me too, sometimes, if I'm lucky and catch it early enough, I can take Excedrin Migraine and drink some Coke or coffee and it might go away, but usually, once I have one, it's there for the day.
LOL, I couldn't believe Brandon forgot my Advil!
And when he went back to the store to get it, he said they didn't even have any out, so he had to ask and luckily they had some in the back!
Well, Jen, all I can say is I know exactly how you felt because I had that wicked migraine in May. I get headaches, but not migraines, so I can relate to the "I want to go home" feeling. It stinks. You did a heck of a lot more than I was capable of doing. So kudos to you. You certainly did your best!
Despite feeling like crap, I think you managed to get some nice pictures, especially the night time ones of the ski and the monorail and spaceship earth.
So glad you woke up feeling better.
Brandon - forgetting the advil - so something Denny would do!
I remember your migraine from your May TR, and thinking "that's something that would happen to me". Actually, this is the 2nd time our first night has kinda been ruined a little by me having a migraine, same thing happened on our Disneymoon. I just have to remember to drink a ton of water on the travel day, I think I just forget because I'm so excited!
Thanks, I like some of the pictures we got that day! Notice there are none of me? I didn't get one picture of myself that day because I felt so awful I didn't even want to bother!
Poor Brandon, I felt so bad making him go back to get me Advil, but I really needed it! And at least he got out of the room for a little while and didn't have to listen to my whining about wanting to go home!
I feel so bad for you that your migrane didn't go away! What a bummer of a start to your vacation
I have the feeling it'll improve though...
It was a pretty awful start to our trip...there were a few good points, but I'd say that's probably the worst day in Disney I've ever had. Things definitely did improve!
I hate migraines. I used to get them all the time. I couldn't move and the only thing that would get rid of them was sleep. Since I had my daughter though I haven't gotten any. It cured me...haha What a way to start your vacation. I can only imagine how you felt. Love the pictures you took.
When I have a migraine that bad, all I want to do is lay in a dark room, so it was really hard being in Disney and trying to have fun and put it aside! I'm so glad you don't get them anymore...maybe when I have a child someday I'll be cured too!
My mom used to get them really bad when I was little and now, it's rare for her to even get a headache, so maybe you just have to grow out of them or something!
Sorry you had to deal with that horrible migraine! Last year, during F&W, I had that happen a couple times (I think related to a spot cleaner being used in our room). This year, I had a couple minor ones (one while at Earl of Sandwich) and I think they were related to dehydration. Sleeping usually cures them, though, so I'm glad that worked for you! I hate that feeling of being at WDW, but not being able to really enjoy anything!
CSR looks really pretty, though! And that's cool that F&W was open early! Did Brandon like the Hawaii pork slider? That was one of our favorites. I'm glad you got to see Remy at dinner! Sorry you had to cut your night short, but so glad you felt normal again in the morning!
Thanks! Ugh, yeah, I can relate to cleaning supplies giving you a migraine, I've had that happen a few times too!
It seems like most of the time, migraines are caused by being dehydrated, so I really just have to drink lots of water!
CSR was pretty, but it was kind of ruined for me in the end because of how terrible I felt.
When I woke up, I was just so ready to get out of there!
Brandon did like the pork slider! I wish I got to try it, but for some reason, we never went back to the Hawaii booth!
Ugh migraines are awful, aren't they? I'm so glad that you woke up headache-less the next day!! Hopefully you were able to enjoy the rest of your vacation pain-free!
I'm glad I woke up without a headache too, I was SO afraid it would carry over to the next day!
Thankfully, that was the only migraine of the trip! I don't think I could have handled another night like that!
UGH, I suffer from migraines, too... NO FUN. Sorry your first day was hindered by one.
So glad you got to see Remy! We loved our lunch at Les Chefs... I'd really like to go back, but not sure I can convince my kids to try it (even with the bonus of seeing Remy).
And talking about annoying people on rides... while on POTC, the lady in front of us kept taking pictures throughout the entire ride. WITH THE FLASH ON. I was *thisclose* to grabbing her camera and tossing it out of the boat!
Ugh, I'm sorry you get migraines too, I hope you never get one in Disney!
I really liked Chef's, I definitely want to go back, migraine free, of course! I hope your kids agree to try it, it seemed pretty kid friendly!
OMG, the flash picture taking on rides was SO awful on this trip!
On Spaceship earth, it was seriously out of control, I've never noticed it being this bad!
Joining in. I totally understand how you felt. Our honeymoon trip was in early October and the average temp was 95 the whole time. The heat was killer, we quickly changed our touring to RD at the park, afternoon swim and park again after dinner. Glad to hear your headache was gone the next morning.
Thanks for joining! Wow, I can't imagine it being 95 for the whole trip! I honestly don't know how people go during the summer! We usually do the same kind of touring, go early in the morning, take an afternoon break, and then back to the parks at night. I'd never be able to go all day and not take a break, Disney World is exhausting!
I know it probably made you not enjoy your meal as much as you could have.
