I know I need ADs adjusted, but first I must find a psych who specialises in (or understands) chronic pain patients, and neither my pain nor my migraine doc knows of one. My migraine doc says that psychs treat people with my medication profile like addicts, and...you can see my hesitation.

Oh, yeah, I get it. I'm not on as much as you and I've one psych who treated me like an addict. I dropped him, because I'm ADDICTED to trying to not be depressed, anxious and a crazed insomniac so I can live a somehwat normal life, motherfucker.

But I found this: [link]

It's a list of LA area psychs who speacialize in working with patient with chronic pain. I don't know what health insurance you have or what area of of LA you live in, but it might be useful.

And I'm still unsure how I will explain my absence to coworkers.

Allyson, all you have to say (if you want to say anything at all) is "I was on extended leave for medical issues that leave me with some memory problems." If they probe, "I'm not comfortable talking about something so personal. So how were things when I was gone?"

for your consideration:

Buffista Island possibility?

I am trying to find scholarly articles for a friend on the topic of how women's arguments are systematically discounted/derailed by being called "too emotional" (either in online debate, or in person) and coming up completely bupkis. It is seriously making me feel like a bad librarian.

I would not be shocked to learn that the topic hasn't received much scholarly attention. Disheartened, but not shocked.

I am at the "ascend already" stage of this job process. When I arrived today I was called upstairs for a couple more questions.

Good god, aurelia. This is the most drawn-out internal hire I've ever seen.

I emailed about the job I interviewed for in early August, and got a call back; they still haven't made up their minds. Of course. Sigh. But at least I'm still in the running?

This afternoon I have to do a job application, since it closes today. Wish me luck.

Hysteria?

So I was feeling really oogy and weird, so left work a little after 1. Passed out for hour and a half. Oookay....

Thanks, Strix. I'll check that list when I'm a bit less on edge.

Speaking of on edge, Polgara's friend J offered to help with picking up my methadone meds and has been on the project since 9. Now Polgara is involved, so if you ever think I'm exaggerating, you can ask either of them.

I'm just in too much pain to drive. I walked an errand this morning and boom wipeout. Weekly meds should be here in an hour, hopefully.

Crap, ita. I hope they get there soon.

I got some boots I ordered today, and I think they're too big. Damn it. I don't want to return them!

ita all of us our damn sure you are not exaggerating. You figure out a way we can help , and you will get help not only from the hive mind but the hive body. We will put time and effort and sweat into it. This not a proforma "anything we can do to help". This is a serious offer on my part and I bet on the part of most of us.

My train is being delayed because a fight broke out outside the train between a conductor and someone else. Running and tackling was involved.
