Brane Doctor - The Big Brane Update!

[buzzylittleb]

As Buzzy is very afraid of angry head consultant lady, she was relieved when she got one of her minions today instead. For starters, she can't tear me one about the huge gaps in October's headache diary (which I just couldn't face) and he liked my list of every med ever (almost) a nearly inaccurate list of pharmacuticles etc

Oh, buzzy. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. Stay strong. *hugs*

[buzzylittleb]

Hugging makes everything better. Your reply means a lot to me.

I'm sorry the medical types aren't more helpful. I'd be depressed, too. I do hope you get some relief soon.

Frankly, I think you function well considering how much chronic pain you have.

I'm hoping that mass hope will scare my headache away.

I needed objectivity here - it's too easy to blame me rather than the condition. Also, it's hard to take something like headaches seriously as a condition (even when I'm the person with them) as other chronic conditions with the pain thing. They just seem so small and ordinary sometimes.

[grey853]

There's nothing small or ordinary about disabling, chronic headaches. My mother used to get migraines that would put her to bed for days. I've been lucky in that I haven't had those, but I know that even with a little headache, I can hardly function. So, I admire someone who can carry on and get anything done when there's obviously so much pain involved.

They really think the ergot works? That's kind of cool. The detox sucks, though :(

[buzzylittleb]

Yeah, but no witches.

It really really sucks. I think I'm going to be old before they finally find the right pills - I commented to bbd and he was likewise unamused (agh! I'll be sixty!)
