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

You could be an amazing athlete, but if you couldn't run a zig zag balance beam with wind in your face, you were screwed.

Can one be an amazing athlete without balance, though? Or, rather, what do you prioritise above it (note, I know nothing about this show)?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Bless you, Steph. There was so no way I'd have remembered that on my own. Printing now.

Excellent. I don't know how viable it is/might be as a treatment for you, but I sure the hell hope that your neurologist will recognize, based on your history, that since all the usual treatments aren't working, alternatives are definitely worth investigating.

I desperately hope so. I haven't seen her in about a year (took a diversion with a migraine specialist whose main treatment seemed to be hugs and petting my forehead--oh, and laughing off the frequency of my ER visits). But she has reccomendations from the last migraine guy I saw last week, plus she'll get to witness the sort of naked desperation a year can breed in a person.

There's some treatment the guy was going to recommend that would involve a hospital stay. I blanched and he backed off, but I'm totally okay with it now. Check me in ASAP.

ita, I'd think at this point that if the treatment involved being staked to an ant bed, you might consider it. I hope they find something soon.

Our wings are not tired.

ita, vibing for brilliant new ideas from the neurologist. Or even an old overlooked idea. Also, that the printouts from Teppy are helpful. Something, immediately if not sooner.

Here's hoping she can at least start a new treatment routine that gives you some relief, ita.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck tomorrow (and getting there), ita.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yup. Will be vibing for you and for good, effective, prompt treatment.

Oh, it's definitely needed, but the challenge was ENTIRELY about balance, and some of the stuff was stupid.
