That was a fail

mrsbrownYesterday I commented in Montjoye's journal;
I did some reading a few years ago and found that fitness also impacts on our ability to cope with heat. I'm hoping my increased fitness this year will be enough for me to be able to cope with fighting today.
I'm calling that a fail.
I'm home from work after the worst migraine I've had in a long time. It included a trip to hospital for anti nausea medication, panadiene forte, an anti inflammatory injection and finally, a drip with an anti psychotic medication that's often used for migraine. I got home at 3am.
I'm not sure it was all heat stress, I also failed to drink sufficient tea to maintain my caffeine addiction. I'll be more careful of that next time.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't brought on by dehydration, I drank water all day until my stomach closed down. And I used the toilet several times during the day.
I'm really annoyed by this response to heat. I'd much rather be doing stuff than sitting quietly in the shade avoiding a "might get a headache".
On the positive side, it appears the hospital has changed their protocols and the nurses can now start treating you before you see a doctor - they took a look at me, told me what they thought I needed, checked in with the doctor and started giving it to me. Then the doctor came around to make sure it wasn't anything more serious. Also, the crying in triage was very effective at getting me in sooner.
