That'd be cool.

So I've been battling migraines like a bad ass lately... but my bad assedness is officially having its own ass kicked. I had 3 weeks in a row where I only had 2 or 3 migraine free days... I think that the only reason the Sam's Club version of Advil survives is because of me and my migraines. I can't afford the expenisve shiny migraine meds that the doc in Casper prescribed, so I don't take them very often, and I've found lately, that even if I take them, they do me no good.... Other than to make me kinda cranky and out of it for a few hours anyway.... So I went to General Care here in FC, and they gave me a prescription for Fiorocet. Well that's super, except that I didn't find out that it's a narcotic derivitave of some sort until I took it while I was at work and with in 30 minutes went from mildly incapable to completely retarded. The computer screen seemed to be mocking me, and I couldn't fully function. I built cardboard boxes for 4 hours that day and I was barely capable of doing that.

So I'm gonna try to go to a doctor doctor who can assess the situation more thoroughly and possibly put me on something else to make it all stop. Hopefully this something else costs less than rent. I have done some research on some of the drugs available, and that shiny new one looks promising, but it also costs more than rent every month, and my insurance refuses to cover it because of the cost. Maybe they'll just decide that I need more vitamin C.

That'd be cool.
