Sleep, blessed sleep! So good to read that the meds worked.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Askye, that schedule is pure evil. Good luck.

So, I have alarms going off every half hour telling me to take my med, and it is great because I'm also grabbing a small something to eat at the same time so that the meds don't upset my stomach. I might not be eating the most healthy of things, but in general I do better if I don't let myself get too hungry.

I'm glad you're getting good results, sj! (And a little sad how amazed we all are at decent health care).
That schedule is some kinda bullshit, askye. I hope you find a plan that works for you. I'm sure the expense of a hotel room is not something you relish, but a quiet room all to yourself might be a nice treat, it seems like.

Thrive to spite them
I keep telling myself it's one night and we aren't open until midnight like we have been.
The store hours are extended more to almost regular hours but for fulfillment we go in early and stay late.
I'm hoping after the holidays they reduce the hours again.

Yes, when new doc was actually listening to me and being sympathetic, I wanted to cry. No one has been taking me seriously.

A good, compassionate doctor who recognizes that you have a brain even if it's not medically trained is worth her weight in gold. I'm glad you found someone, sj, and that the gabapentin worked so well for you.
askye, I mean, you're right, it's only one night, but I only ever schedule myself with shit like that when I was managing a store. That's crappy; I'm sorry.

Finding a doctor who realizes you have a brain when you're physically disabled is extra hard in my experience. The Urgent Care doc was convinced I didn't have a uti because the dip test came back negative. Well my dip tests almost always come back negative, but do a culture for a couple days and guess what..

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
It's so crazy-making when doctors won't believe you know your own body. This has happened before. Yes, the same thing. Yes, in the same way. Yes, even though you have a medical degree.
