I haven't been updating much because my brain has been pretty uncooperative.

I'm in a good enough place, emotionally, but the pharmacy switched me to a different generic of Wellbutrin, and a few days later I noticed that I was . . . err . . . not digesting them.  I asked my real doctor -- not the guy at CRS -- if I was right to be as concerned as I  ( Read more... )

I am back from Planned Parenthood. And back from my nap. I posted briefly about it earlier, but it appears not to have propagated to Livejournal ( Read more... )

At one point last year, I ripped my right big toenail off completely. Amazingly, it healed without incident and I never needed to see the doctor for it.

Then I rammed that exact same toe into my portfolio. Hurt like hell. Two days later, I did it again, and the nail, which was still pretty fragile, cracked on that side and cut into my flesh, ( Read more... )

Dreamed very, very vividly about being trapped in a giant home improvement store, trying to buy things and being unable to get any help. My friends and family who had come with me had gone missing, and when time came to take everything to the car, I found I didn't have the keys. I went back into the store (on all fours, with claws clicking) and ( Read more... )

I just got back from the clinic, and now I have new holes in me. The tech popped the vein on my right arm, giving me a nice bruise. Not her fault, though. My veins are very small, and they roll, and now that I've put some weight on, they are difficult to find. Also, I hadn't had much to drink ( Read more... )

Here you go. Ground rules for dealing with me in a medical context. Feel free to grab, edit and add to them to apply to you, and give them to your healthcare professional. If you are pretty sure your doctor is cool, or you are just a really sarcastic cutup, you can use the first one. The second might go over better, though.
