No wonder I'm tired...

[Veronica]

We've ridden 367 miles in 8 days. And this darn headache has accompanied me the whole way.

I'm glad today is off day. My plan is... to have no plan.

Sorry to hear the headache is still nagging you. Are you going to go back to the doc? How's your eye?

Where do you head next?

[Veronica]

Doc thought it was either migraine or occipital nerve irritation, maybe caused by my helmet. I kind of disagree with that since I've had my helmet on for 15 hours on a double and never had anything like this. I think maybe it's all the bug bites. That side of my head is just covered with them. It was worth the money to see him to confirm that it was not likely anything really serious.

Don't know about the eye. He looked at, but didn't give any advice. Warm compresses help. I'll survive. The swelling goes down quite a bit when ride, it returns when I sleep.

Bug bites??? That sounds awful! I thought maybe since you were less than thrilled with the first diagnosis that you might try for another one. But, I guess I wouldn't want to be going from doc to doc while on such a glorious trip. Maybe a clinic can give you something for the bug bites though. Good luck! I hope you feel better soon (like now)!

What a drag, Veronica. So you're thinking it's more like an allergic reaction?

Enjoy your day off! You guys are in Halifax today, right?

Huge bummer! Sorry about the headache. Try to have fun.

I hope your weather improves!

I get headaches when I'm dehydrated. But then, I don't ride as much as you do in 8 days!
