headache relief: dancing

Last night was my office holiday party and I danced for a few hours straight. And it was SO much fun.

I had been feeling a little headachey so I thought I'd show up at the bar a little late, have dinner, dance for a bit and then head home early. But as soon as I got on the dance floor, thoughts of going home quickly left my head. My co-workers are awesome and everyone was dancing with everyone else so when the little group I was grooving with took a break, I could easily find another one. Or just dance by myself. It was all good. And it's always so good to know that I have the energy to just keep going. I feel like endurance will be a good thing to have for surgery & recovery.

Eventually, though, I hit a wall and had to stop. I had been dancing for two hours? And hour and a half? I didn't check the time when I started, but I stopped a little after 10. I stayed for a few minutes more talking to folks, but decided to go home while I was still having fun.

And my headaches completely disappeared after I started dancing & have yet to return. I call that a successful way to treat headaches.
