Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, but when you put them all together I'm colouring in the whole head. I could make it a Venn diagram, I suppose, but the picture's not really big enough for all that. I mean, there are three types of headache (migraine, normal, normal with neck involvement). They have different onset triggers, different characteristics...it almost feels like coincidence they're sharing the same real estate.

I would make a note like that, then. Obviously their one little skull diagram isn't going to work for you, but they'll still need all that info. Clearly you have too much shit going on for their little pre-screener, but it can give them a start.

PS: Is this helpful, or annoying? I can stop.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's not annoying. I'm grateful. When I actually sit down to fill this out, I'm going to have to make the balance between overexplaining (I'm sure they see a crapload of people with worse pain than me, and won't base my entire diagnosis on what I write down) and just wanting to discuss everything instead of documenting it.

Okay, I think I'm out of here in half an hour or so. Graargh.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Hey Allyson look over here, I have shiny things, and over there on that other board someone just called Tim a gnat-brained nincompoop.

ION, I still have 20/20 vision.

Thank Tom for that info, that will be great if I can go until March.

Possibly with a note that says, "Watching this powerpoint triggers a migraine, too."

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

You're totally going to hurt yourself.

That boy is Trouble, Allyson. A mix? With a girlfriend? That's not playing fair. Can you have fun crushiness for a while and then let it drift away painlessly? That would be ideal.

Get out now! The klaxons of impending pain and head 'splodiness are wailing.

Flash! I could totally do flash!

At least the appointment is soon--8:30 Monday morning.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Allyson, we need you to remember Rob Gordon.

The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take it up a notch, but you don't wanna blow your wad, so then you got to cool it off a notch. There are a lot of rules.
