Hurray insurance!
I went to my doctor this morning. This is the second time I have actually seen him in the 4 years I've been going there. Every other time I saw his nurse (who is awesome!). I forgot just how much he looks like Christopher Walken! I was staring at him the entire time he was typing in my info onto the computer trying not to smile too much. I will say, it made me feel a lot more at ease with him!
Now, I have access to a rheumatologist at the same office as my doctor! However, now I have to see a neurologist as well. I'm due for another scan (probably MRI again) and they need to check to make sure I don't have MS since I'm showing some symptoms. Then, of course, there's always ze cancer check. My doctor also wants me on a daily medication for migraines since they are so frequent. That has me a bit worried since A) I'm not good at taking anything daily and B) when I first started Imitrex, I had all sorts of reactions: my back was burning, I was twitching, my arm went numb... it was crazy. That was with one dose, what's a daily pill going to do. Plus, I already try to avoid taking medication all together. Recently, (because of work nonsense) I've had to get back to taking my FMS meds. I would say screw it and just keep sucking it up like I have been doing, but it's getting pretty unbearable. I went to bed at 6 pm the other night from a bad migraine. I normally go to bed around 1 am, 11 pm being the earliest.
I should probably switch jobs. I know it's adding to the pain. However, I'm sure it would happen at the next job as well. I guess the only solution is to win the lottery, get a sugar daddy, become a hobo, or mooch off my family forever.
On top of all this, I almost went over a bridge last night! Stupid person was sticking out too far, making my left turn a lot sharper on an already sharp turn. The person wasn't paying attention and didn't bother reversing to give me room. It had just rained. As I turned slowly, onto the bridge, my wheel slipped on something (I'm guessing) and I jumped the curve. I tried to move my foot to the brakes, but it just wouldn't listen. I steer back down and over into the other lane and finally my leg moves, but by that time I was already back in control. I've avoided way too many accidents in the past (for some reason, people love trying to cut me off) to have something like this happen because I was freaked out. Something similar happened this morning when I was backing out of my driveway. I ended up backing further down the street than I had planned. I really hope this is all in my head... in the figurative way.
