Back Pain

She was a little surprised by me having memory gaps but we're going to take me off zonegran. We're trying something similar to emgality. But we're going to pursue Botox injections in 4 weeks.
I called my mom to tell her about my appointment today and I asked her how she's doing cuz she broke her ankle almost a week ago. Apparently she also broke a bone in her leg. She's having surgery next Wednesday.
My back hurts like hell. I took 2 tramadol an hour ago. It hasn't helped. I've got weird pain under the bottom of my ribs.
I haven't eaten yet today. I need to order groceries but Pauley is taking forever to finish putting what she wants on the list.
I'm hoping to get my hair cut this weekend. Maybe I'll even get some bubble tea if I'm very lucky. I haven't had any in over a year! It's my favorite drink. I get taro and caramel and banana. Oh gosh it's epic. There are 2 bubble tea shops that I love. The other one, I get chai tea, pumpkin, and caramel. Holy moly it's good.
I wish I had some cookies to go with my coffee. I keep forgetting that I have a bottle of coffee creamer in my fridge. I got excited when I saw Aldi had an oatmeal cookie flavored coffee creamer. I bet it would be delicious in my psychocandy tea.
I didn't sleep well last night. I tried to go back to sleep after Pauley woke me up on my couch. We finished doing all my meds for the day at about 5am. Then I went to bed and just kinda doomscrolled for a few hours before I took a shower. I think I might have gotten 4 or 5 hours of sleep on my couch.

I've got yet another migraine, my yeast infection came back much worse since I started taking cephalexin. And the reason for the cephalexin is not responding. Which I anticipated because it's not a wound. It's a cyst. And that's gonna require a surgeon. And you won't believe this but yesterday or the day before I did an insulin injection and when I was done there was a hard bump. Well this morning I accidentally injected the bump and it kinda bled a bit. I'm gonna have to schedule an in person appointment. If I had my previous doctor all I'd have to say is "got another cyst like last time, tummy area" and he'd send the referral immediately. It's just so frustrating.

Especially my left side. It's awful. Pain at 7. Shooting down my legs. I just tried to shift position and my lumbar tensed up and pain spiked to 8. I took a Norco about a half hour ago. I'm hoping it kicks in soon.
Pauley said I looked really cute yesterday . I was happy cuz I found my newsboy hat. I'm trying to see the cute boy that she claims she sees in me. I know you're probably sick of seeing pictures of me and my dumb face.
The walker was great. I was able to handle walking and, when I needed to, I was able to sit down. My back hurts much less than it would if I didn't have the walker. And I wasn't the only one in our group who had one! Pauleys QPP had one also.
My next appointment is next Friday. It's with my headache specialist. I'm gonna explain I'm having memory gaps still. Last time I saw her she took me off topomax and put me on zonegran. She said it should be less sympathetic. I dunno.
My hair is doing really weird things. It's getting curly since I started taking my testosterone. It's not awful but it's just weird. I've had straight hair for 42 years and now it's just like doot dee doot weeeeeeee!

I attempted to walk to the bathroom and oh frell it hurts so much. My hips and back are awful. And there's pain shooting down my right leg to my toes. And then there's the migraine which OMG feels like a steel rod rammed right through my head. My jaw hurts so much. I'm waiting for Pauley to come back from carrying the old walker to her mom's car. It's 730pm and her mom just left. I had enough social time at lunch. I'm gonna have leftovers for dinner tonight, maybe some French fries. I feel so exhausted. But I went out to eat!

I was laying down on my bed watching reels and I remembered I needed to take my evening meds. So I sat up and attempted to cross my legs. My right hip is just screaming. Pauley is asleep but I think I might go wake her up for a Norco. I always feel bad when I gotta wake her up. I took 2 tramadol 3 hours ago and it didn't help.
My doctor wrote me a script for 7.5mg Norco cuz she knows I'm struggling with so much pain and depression and anxiety and adjustment disorder and she knows that the Norco is the only thing that has been helping.
I'm trying to find a pain clinic. I hate going to them cuz so many drug seekers go there and it's usually standing room only. I just want my back and hips to stop hurting.

It came down so hard I couldn't see the other side of the road. I put my noise cancelling Bluetooth headphones on so I couldn't hear the thunder. After the storm was done we lost power for about 10 minutes. I wasn't stressed during the storm. But I've been crying a bit. And Pauley is concerned. I've got some pain in my head and eyes. And I've got pain in my neck. I've been feeling very down. I'm struggling with my feelings. I think I might be cycling through the symptoms of adjustment disorder a bit more than normal.
