Runny nose - watery eye - migraine, right temple

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007
My nose, specifically my right nostril, starts to drip. I have a runny nose big time.

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007
My running nose continues through Wednesday and by evening I’ve developed a headache – on the right side of my head.

I take 3 volcano ash pellets before bedtime.

I take 3 more volcano ash pellets in the a.m. Not only is my nose running, my right eye is watering – literally dripping tears, and I have a huge migraine in my right temple. I can feel a sensation in my upper jaw. Similar to before where it sort of feels like I need to floss but it’s “higher” up and “inside”. Again, I can make a dotted line from my upper right gums to my right temple.

I take a packet of magnesium mid-morning. The pain seemed to dissipate a bit but by afternoon I realize I have not been able to focus and do much work today. I feel a little nauseous.
A colleague gives me 2 Extra Strength Tylenol Ultra Relief Headache & Migraine pain relief e-Z-tabs around 2:30, 3 p.m. I leave work at 3:30 p.m. and on the train I realize the pain is going away. I make it home and don’t have to fall into bed.
I take 3 volcano ash pellets at 10:30 p.m. and another 3 pellets 15 minutes later. In between I drink a bottle of water with magnesium.

I had woken up just before the alarm and I seem to be pain-free however once I get up I still have the pressure in my head.
I take 3 volcano ash pellets and a shower. It’s better than yesterday but instead of suffering throughout the day I ask my colleague for a couple more Tylenol tablets. By early afternoon I seemed to have killed the migraine. However, I proceeded to have half a glass of white wine at 3 p.m. and the pressure feeling is knocking on my right temple. It’s not pain though and I’ll know better next time than to tempt fate. :)
I have a packet of magnesium in my water. I can still feel a sensation in my crowned tooth but the migraine has disappeared completely by late afternoon.

I take 3 volcano ash pellets before bedtime.
