I used to get terrible rebound headaches from caffeine, back when I was drinking 4-5 cups of coffee every day.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't have normal breakthrough pain medication, so thankfully I'm unlikely to be suffering from that, at least, although it's of course a concern. I'm on maintenance methadone (never increases), weekly dilaudid (too infrequent for rebound), and that's it.
It might be a new guideline, maybe in the UK, but I have found most doctors are aware of it.

Separately--oh, my god, when am I going to be back in my groove? I can't get work working, my apartment is ankle deep in all my belongings, I won't have a car until I do some cab juggling this afternoon. I'm entirely off balance, and feeling it...
I have to wrestle work into submission first.
My personal life can wait.

Happy Birthday, Sue!
Oy, ita. Sorry things are so hard right now.
Can I ask what brand, and where? Do they make you sleep hot? I hate sleeping hot...
Well, I wake up hot most mornings, but I think that's just perimenopause. I got the mattress topper at Target, don't recall the brand. It really has helped me sleep so much better--I was waking a couple times/night for several months, and was blaming the dog. Now I'm never going without a memory-foam topper again.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We have one, too--ordered it form Overstock. It is fabulous.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, I love that fucking Gangnam Style video. I saw it for the first time yesterday and I was highly amused even though I didn't catch all the references. Now that I know a bit more, I am going to watch it again.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Birthday Happies, Sue!!
Keep on keeping the sky from those who want to take it away, Firefly!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy birthday Sue and Firefly!
Is your painkiller causing your headache?
Huh. I take Advil almost every day, sometimes with Tylenol, but for backache, not headache. Wonder if I'm messing myself up somehow.
ita !, I'm sorry your return from vacation has left you needing a vacation.
I got my memory foam mattress topper from Target too. Love it.
