There's too much confusion. I can't get no relief.

For two weeks now I've had headaches (usually in the back of my head) daily. They've made me feel dizzy and out of it. I've vomited several times this week. I had been having headaches off an on since the wreck. If they didn't improve my doctor was going to send me to a neurologist. He wanted to see me back on November 3rd. I couldn't wait the long. Imagine my surprise Tuesday when he didn't mention sending me to a neurologist, just prescribing me another drug.
I get to Walgreens and the guy I went to school with tells me that my insurance company needs authorization on this drug. He tried calling but they're already gone for the day. Apparently they needed my doctor to call or fax them, explaining why he prescribed me this. I called him. I don't know if he ever did that or not, but I was tired of waiting so Friday I called Walgreens and told them to fill it. I figured I'd go ahead and charge it and get reimbursed $135 sometime later. This is a once a day medicine to PREVENT migraines. There's tons of side effects. He's also prescribed me promethazine for the nausea. It has tons of side effects and says to be sure to let your doctor know what other meds you're taking. Do doctors even pay attention to what they prescribe anymore or is it all just a money thing for the drug companies and lobbyists? Both of these drugs have yet to help me and I've gotten sick three times tonight.
I missed this week of school and last week's Public Speaking. I have a test due tomorrow at 6 p.m. I emailed my Business Law professor Tuesday at 1:00 with a confirmation receipt. He still hasn't checked his email! There was going to be a sub that night, but he was giving out a review for the test this Tuesday. I had asked if he could email or mail me the review and told him I would have a doctor's note. I've missed eight hours of Public Speaking already. I'm really stressed out over this and the fact that I'm not getting any relief or responses! At least my Public Speaking professor wrote back and said he would pass my info along to someone else. He said if this keeps up I may want to seek a medical withdrawal for this quarter. I hope everyone else out there is having a better weekend!

Go buy the new Beck



Since I've moved out things have been really good. I really needed to be out. Its worth it to me. Jamie stayed with me all weekend. We went out Friday night and had a good time. My parents came over yesterday and we went out to eat. Moe seems happier. He's asleep on the couch now. I'm sitting here listening to the new Beck. I'm diggin' it. Oooh, I'm going to have to cut this blog short. Its that good! A middle school/high school friend called me tonight. We hadn't talked in 6 years! I never ran into her anywhere in all this time. We're supposed to get together maybe this weekend. It was so good to talk to her. I can't wait to see her two girls. Everyone I know has girls. Funny.

I've had a tooth bothering me for about a week. I wasn't sure if it was a filling or if it was the gum around the tooth. Its an area of tissue I had lasered off a year ago because my braces made everything move so there was excess gum? over the tooth. Sounds nice huh? Well it was bad last night and it sucks tonight. I went to the dentist this morning. No problems other than needing to get behind the tooth with a Waterpik and blast it. Guess I'll go do it for the second time now and see if I get relief.

After having a phone that wouldn't stay charged long for months, getting a new battery only to be set up for failure, & no signals in areas where others did, I decided it was time to get a new phone today. On that note..."PICK UP THE PHONE AND DIAL!"

I saw this bumper sticker today

on the back of a Volvo. It read, "I do not bless countries, governments, or wars," God. I thought that kicked ass. I hate that whole "God bless America" b.s. Why not God bless the world? I mean America sure can't survive on its own. God bless Iran and don't let the Middle East run out of crude oil.
School's been going great. Public Speaking was canned tonight because the instructor couldn't be there. My Business Law instructor is a funny man. He's the litigation manager for the attorney general. He's also a Democrat. He had several Mark Foley jokes last night.
I'm not sure what to do with my night off tonight. There's always homework.
Yesterday morning was old lady day at work. Three or four old women came in wanting estimates. None of them wanted to pay the amount they were given. Body shops should be non profit organizations.
