Had me looking like the =O of my icon. At other times it was more like D:

I knew I would have to leave and go to therapy instead of staying home and watching the last shuttle launch. It sucks having to choose my mental health and well-being over my love of the shuttle program. So that was the first annoyance of the day.

Then, I had to take Mom's ( Read more... )

And I'm still awake. I cannot get my brain to shut down, no matter what I do. I lay in the dark, with only my sound soother - set to ocean waves - and night light on, with no success. I tried taking another 2.5mg of vicodin to help. No luck. I just can't sleep ( Read more... )

I realized that I haven't checked in in a while. So I'm going to do so ( Read more... )

I have been the crankiest bitch on wheels this past week-and-a-half. I couldn't figure out why, exactly, I just knew that I was getting really really irritated very quickly. Things that I can normally (now) handle calmly suddenly became stuff I would blow up at. I had a fight with Mom. I yelled at Sis. Not good ( Read more... )

Had my second MRI, this time with contrast, Tuesday at 6-fucking-30 in the morning. It was freezing outside, with a windchill of lower 20s (and even colder with the ridiculously strong wind gusts). It turned out that the damn thing was scheduled at the other charity hospital in town, not the one where my neurologist is based. Joy. While Ben Taub ( Read more... )

I just realized how spotty my posting was this month. Sorry for that.

Well, here there has been sorta maybe good news and really crappy OMG what NOW?? news.

First, I think I figured out what's wrong with my head. For reals this time. Now I just have to convince the neurology resident and attending I see on the 9th to at least take my thoughts ( Read more... )

Still sick. Head cold is slowly migrating into my chest. High pressure system overhead causing migraines. Fibromyalgia flare that left me immovable the other day. I'm falling apart ( Read more... )

I can't believe I haven't posted in the last couple of days. I suck. Sorry if you missed my silly, meaningless updates.

It's been rainy for the last several days as a low-pressure system moved across the area. We're now under a high pressure dome and it's COLD. Like, really COLD. The temp made it down into the low 40s this morning. I had to wear a ( Read more... )

As I figured, the majority of Texans were stupid red sheep and stayed with the dickheads who have been fucking this state and its citizenry over for DECADES, instead of picking people who might actually want to HELP us.

Even some of my good friends were talking about how they were glad that the governorship of Texas wasn't going to change on ( Read more... )

I've slept all day. Slept almost 12 hours solid. I think I know why. I tried to increase my Inderal (beta-blocker that lowers blood pressure) by just a smidge in order to help my headaches - the thinking is that if you lower your blood pressure, you help prevent migraines caused by inflamed blood vessels - like, I went from 5mg to 7.5mg. Not a lot ( Read more... )
