Update on my life.

I haven’t been posting things for a while and I don’t really know why…. 

  • I was in the hospital for 3 weeks over the summer for migraine treatment (at MHNI) which didn’t do a whole lot, but they gave me a perscription for torodol shots which are awesome! but I can only use them 3 times a week. but even so, my thighs are covered with a lovely looking combonation of bruises from the shots. 
  • My physical therapist told me I have Joint-hypermobility-syndrome (JSH). 
  • I think it might be Ether Danlos though, just a hunch because of other symptoms I have that are not present in JHS. 
  • My wisdom tooth got infected, so I couldn’t eat for a while. And now I get to have my wisdom teeth out next week! yay. 
  • I messed something up in my left wrist, either dislocation, sprain tendonitis or a combonation of them.

Yay medical problems.

Medicine by Guster

Into the maze 
Enter the medicine handed down 
Within these veins 
Bleeding with apathy till it drowns 
No more to gain 
Needing the ugliness that surrounds 
Return again 
Caught in the medicine handed down 
Am I your charity? 
For you to look so kind? 
But your aim is not quite clear 
It’s better if you leave in quiet 
Is this mood frightening? 
And who are you sometimes? 
Don’t try and rescue me 
Go save someone else 
I’m far past done 
Gasping, calling 
I saw I’m all alone 
Grasping, crawling 
Is this not what you had planned? 
Oh I’m all alone 
Go on hero 
You’re faking no one, not today 
Stop this you’re scaring me 
Don’t even know you now 
Trying to rescue me 
Go save someone else 
I’m way past gone 
Into the maze
  • It just describes everything i feel when I am in pain.

Migraine Awareness Month Blogging Challenge #5: “Do That To Me One More Time.”

Migraine Awareness Month Blogging Challenge #5: “Do That To Me One More Time.”

What comfort measure do you find helps you enough during a Migraine that you go back to it again and again, and how do you use it?
I have a spot. The chair in my family room, and i sit there with my fuzzy blanket. And i like cuddling. also, icebags are my best friends, i sleep with one every night, and my teddy bear (of course)
