(I used to get migraines right around the time I got my period at least a few times a year, but since I started taking Yaz, that's completely stopped.)
Clearly, the only way was up.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have had many MRIs, but I don't know if I've had a sideways one. They all blur together at this point.
As does my life. I'm clutching my Red Bull and trying not to cry. I know for sure I didn't get to sleep before 1:30, and subjectively it felt like a lot less than five hours, because there was a lot of rolling around in the silent wee hours.
My head is pounding again, and I'm finding it hard to keep the damned drink down, and, just, this is a lot of experimentation to be doing with my real life, you know?

I switched taking my Celexa to night, and have less sleepiness during the day. When I first started on Paxil, for the first time in my life I was able to regularly deeply nap (i.e. fall all.the.way.asleep) without serious illness helping things along.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I had a sleep study and they found that RLS was the cause of my problems. It's a nasty one. Mine's related to fibromyalgia and EDS, apparently. Pregabalin (for nerve pain) has, unintentionally, helped a bit. I take zopiclone (sleep drug that I think is similar to Ambien) when it gets impossible to handle.
Edit: Wishing you rest and less pain, ita.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You guys. YOU GUYS. Did you see where Clarence Thomas's wife called Anita Hill and asked her for an apology??? [link] What the fucking fuck.

So, I'm used to hearing fire trucks because of the retirement community across the way, but this morning they seemed a little loud when I woke up. I finally look out the window and it turns out there were trucks up and down both streets fighting a huge fire around the block.

What's scary is my alarm woke me up. I don't know yet if anyone was inside.
Also? People that hear about fires at 5am and come to watch them are a little scary.

I'm getting the pig!
I know couples can be weirdly accomodationist, but can't he use a sleep mask or something? It seems like you have to go to a lot of effort for his sensitivity.
Bon, he's tried but anything around his head makes him too fidgety to sleep. The only good thing is that between the snoring (his - I wear those silicone earplugs that ROCK)) and the sensitivity to light (his), I've been able to make an awesome case for a new KING bed. We have a queen now and it's just too small for my pillow forts.
What the fucking fuck.
That's what I thought, too. Crazy.
