My back says I need those ASAP. I'm tryin' so hard to ignore Corncat's calls with my upcomin' interview on Thursday. But holy jeez, I haven't had this kinda pain in years. Neither aspirin nor alcohol has helped.

Muscle relaxers. Flexeril is a good one. Thermacare patch. Ibuprofen. Maybe try an OTC tens unit. They sell them at Target and Walgreens.
With all the GRRR's I have posted lately, it feels fucking phenomenal to post a YAY! The docs at the Traumatic Brain Injury clinic discharged my husband since they felt he was malingering and it turned out to be the best thing in the world. They had prescribed him an anti-convulsant for headache prevention, and he wondered if he should keep taking it now that he was cut loose. Well, I went to poking around to make sure nothing terrible would happen should he quit it cold turkey and found study after study on this med causing marked impairment with verbal fluency and working memory. Needless to say I told him to nix the med, and wouldn't ya know...four days later he began to recall phone conversations! He caught me up the other night on his showdown with a moose that morning during PT, and he is able to perform tasks given to him by his supervisor at work without asking over and over what the next step is! On a side note, his light sensitivity is greatly improved (another noted side effect of the drug). I am absolutely ecstatic that I am getting my husband back! He's still having some memory issues and is getting a full psych workup soon that will have some more testing for cognitive deficits, and I'm pretty confident it won't go like the last sham of an exam.
Best thing is that I don't feel as guilty about flying in next weekend to start my Roo vacay early! His family is coming in, but I was really nervous about leaving them with a zombie of a man that couldn't remember from one minute to the next.

all of your posts have been heartbreaking, so i immediately clicked on this thread when i saw you posted. i'm so glad to hear that he's making progress in the right direction!

what did they have him on? I was taking a pill for my migraines that was prescribed for something similar and it kept me in a zombie state for a year. When I quit taking the pills, I literally could "feel" the clarity in my mind. I know it sounds weird but I couldn't even hardly shower I had no energy. It was the worst year of my life.

Topamax. After the injury he was experiencing migraines and they said it would help to prevent them. The docs there and the PCM thought he was malingering, primarily because the severity of the memory issues didn't start until about 3 weeks after the TBI. That was the same time that he had stepped up to his full dose of the med. I hate it that they never considered that it could be a side effect, because it has been absolute hell on him and me for months.
And the shower thing, not weird at all. I've had to force him to take showers--he had zero motivation to do anything at all.

Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

I'm so happy to see this! Topamax can be a beast. over half the people we would put on it had HORRIBLE side effect. I'm not even sure it should be on the market.

Well, I'm glad you guys figured it out sooner rather than later! So glad you finally got some good news and positive changes in your life!! My migraines had vertigo with them (well, more vertigo than actual migraine pain and I couldn't really turn my neck or drive or walk), that's why i went to see a neurologist who put me on the pills. They put me on depakote not topamax, though. It took a few weeks to really clear out of my system after being on them so long and I was SCARED the migraines would come back full force but it hasn't. Every few months I'll get a bad one, but nothing I can't handle. Hopefully it's the same for him!
That's so scary though! Those pills aren't anything to joke about. I honestly don't remember most of the days I was on those pills. I just was... a zombie. Barely living.

Today is my last day of work before Bonnaroo. Today is consequently my last day ever(!) at my current work location. You can guess how many fucks I don't give
Tomorrow is the day I leave California and start a scenic, taking-the-long-way-roadtrip that ultimately leads not only to Bonnaroo, but my new life in Atlanta!

Yay! Post for me for the day, we didn't think we were going to be able to go this year due to a new job and lack of planning on our behalf. HOWEVER it just so happens my S/O gets that entire weekend off! We looked on craigslist and quickly found some discount tickets at a city near us and we went and met the girls (they had some friends ditch them and weren't able to come this year), made sure the tickets registered and were legit, and now we are spending the day going over what we need to get in the next couple of days! roo #6 here we come!

I like to think that right now at this very moment you're doing the carlton dance. Like your signature gif.
Yessssssss!!! We are leaving on Wednesday evening, I'm so pumped. Hoping we don't end up out in BFE!
I don't know where you live, but if you're leaving Wednesday evening, I'd say there is close to zero chance of you ending up in BFE. Super BFE however? Still possible.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

Going to pick up my sister! This is the first time I've seen her in two years and the first time I've spent more than a couple of hours with her in like six years!

My grandpa finished radiation treatment yesterday. The initial chemo he did didn't work at all, so to hear that he's not in pain anymore and that the lesions have actually shrunk is awesome!
This also means that my mom gets a well-deserved vacation from taking him to appointment after appointment for a couple weeks. Which is equally awesome because I'm pretty sure she was about to collapse from exhaustion.
roo #6 here we come!
