I go to the nurse’s office at least once, usually twice a day. We have a nice chat sometimes. She even lets me take her keys so I can get my medicine without waiting for her. She doesn’t question it when I come in anymore and told me I can take whatever I need. We’re pretty tight.

Everyone knows that you shouldn’t drive while on narcotics. In order for me to be pain-free, or somewhat pain-free, I have to take Vicodin. So everyday I get the choice of: being able to leave the house while in an extreme amount of pain or not being able to leave the house while having relief from the pain.

I wish that House hadn’t invented the “diagnostition,” because it’s getting a little old being shuffled from doctor to doctor, and never getting answers.

I hope I’m not the only person who legitimately finds it fun to organize a pill box. (“Upside” part was sarcasm. Obviously I find no “upside” to my Fibromyalgia.)

upped my dosage of depression meds just before the school year started. can’t tell if new insomnia problem is that, or stress, or just because my brain decided it didn’t have enough issues already.

NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS, MY FRIENDS. Especially in Canada, where you have to wait AGES to see your doctor/specialist.
