WTF is wrong with people?
I have to at least hope there are marvellous people around to counterbalance the shitheads. And a good thing on the crew spotting the shitty behaviour.
So, if I lie down, my head kinda doesn't hurt. At least now. How long do I pretend this is a cure?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ita, I'm again getting the slightest taste of what you deal with, and I DON'T LIKE IT. I don't think it's a migraine, but the stupid headache will not go away! No good.

Want to come with me to the ER? I'm about to call a cab. All passengers ride for the price of one.
I'm such a 'fraidy cat about this. I could have gone hours ago, but first I didn't want to miss more work. Then I didn't want to go straight from work because I was too fried to be able to handle the waiting room stress. So I came home and lay about like it had a chance in hell of fixing anything (I've woken up in the early morning twice in a row into a major migraine) because my accustomed ride can't join me in the ER until 9.
It's not just about the ride. I don't like being alone when I get the shots--or at least I don't like him not being there. With other company, as valued as it is, I can't stop myself from working too hard to behave normally, which (as Polgara can attest) involves me talking a lot, quickly, loudly, and not always with trains of thought anyone but me can follow.
Last time I went in the drugs I already don't like didn't work, so ride suggests I go for a heavier hitter. Want even less to be solo for that, but he has a point.
Okay, enough whinging. Butching up, calling cab.

Oh god, ita. I seriously cannot even imagine. I wish you good doctors and nurses and etc.

I just got discharged Sunday! This is insane. I feel there's a point where I get to say "Okay, I'm so done. This is more than I can handle." Not sensing the opportunity, I'm afraid. Back in the same stupid hospital, just in the basement instead of the headache section.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
it is insane, ita. are the doctors even attempting to figure out what's causing these or are they just treating you for the pain? i cannot imagine the pain you are having to endure. i'm so sorry.

There are a few more things they can try, tiggy. At least that's what he says.
Treating me for the pain only lasts a week if I grit my teeth. And then they tell me not to wait 4 days before coming in. 4??? I thought I was being weak at 4. I judge myself harshly if I come in twice in one week. I'm aiming to get back to once a month. Or, you know, never.

I vote never!
What's goofy is I've been trying to rate my current headache, and I think I give it a 2. Or 3. So it's like I can kind of imagine what a 9 would be, but not even.
