Yeah, that story definitely shocked and surprised me in a good way, ita!!

Jesse, I have a lot of flexeril from my migraine doc (who at one point gave me a scrip for 30 of them every month....after I filled it a couple times I just stopped because I had so many!). But taking them at night makes me groggy in the morning (and only is vaguely helpful with the clenching)...but taking the other muscle relaxant I have doesn't seem to help at all. Boo, self. I was hoping acupuncture would help, but while it felt lovely to nap with needles in me (no really! very relaxing!) I don't know that it did much otherwise.

I have had my first Graeter's pumpkin ice cream of the year. God, I always forget how good it is.

But taking them at night makes me groggy in the morning (and only is vaguely helpful with the clenching)...but taking the other muscle relaxant I have doesn't seem to help at all.

Oh, boo. So I have no idea what the answer is.

Can I make a plea? If you don't have a good reason, please have some identifying information on your voicemail OGM...please? Like, the stock voicemail person reciting your phone number isn't identifying--it leaves me wondering if I wrote your number down right, and I rarely end up leaving a message. If it's only your name, that's cool--doesn't have to be a long or witty message, but if you're not in witness protection, it would be comforting to know who I'm actually leaving a message for.

meara, what's the other muscle relaxant?

when I had a back problem, I took a muscle relaxant and I was fuzzy minded for a few hours in the morning.

As my back got stronger, I took half of one and it helped my back and I woke up clearer. Take half?

ita,

I never leave identifying info in my voicemail. But no one calls me. email and text messages are best.

I never leave identifying info in my voicemail

Do you expect people to call you? Clearly I never hear anyone's voicemail outgoing messages if there's no expectation for me to call, and it's usually a professional setting, and I think it's sloppy to leave me wondering if I just dumped important information into the ether. I'm not calling for fun--I think something is important enough to talk about, and you gave me your number, so...let's talk. Instead of me wondering if I was off one digit, and which digit that was.

I can't wear Dansko - I've tried them on and they won't work. (Plus now - with the brace. . . .even less likely.)

Not leaving my name and number on voicemails isn't passive aggressive enough for me--I just don't leave any voicemails.

So you're, like, aggressively passive?
