tinhuvielartanisI woke up with one this morning, missing my date with all the Rednecks at the Dollar General. Lucky for me, my appointment with neurologist extraordinaire, Dr. Pilch, was scheduled for today, so I went back to bed and suffered until it was time to put on my Stevie Wonder costume and head for his office. When he saw my right eye dangling on my cheek like Tom Savini had gotten hold of me, the good doctor gave me a big honkin' shot of Imitrex, a prescription for hydrocodone, and a bag full of Relpax samples and an extra Imitrex shot to take home with me. I felt like a kid at Christmas. The head is just now easing off, which is why I'm now online.
Oh, and he took me off the gabapentin and prescribed what I thought he was calling Ramrod, but it's actually Remeron. It's supposed to slow my mind down enough to where I can sleep instead of doing mathematical equations and reciting poetry and songs in my mind all night long. He said that's probably why I'm having such horrible headaches, because my brain never ever shuts down. I just want a good night's sleep with a morning devoid of horrific brain brain. If this ramrod shit does it, I'm already a fan.

I learned long time ago to not have pride!
