Neuro and other things

I had weird dreams that caused me headaches when I woke up from them. It has been a fucking morning. I had one cup of coffee so far. I plan on having at least one more soon. I saw my neuro. She is going to put me on another PRN migraine medication that is similar to the injection I take. She is hopeful that this recent bout of headaches will dissipate soon. I hope so because I can’t read while my head is hurting and I need to get cracking on my textbook.

I had my meeting with my DMH worker yesterday. It was such a nice day. We talked about stuff and I got her caught up on where I was with Mass Rehab. I see her again in a couple of weeks. Monday I am going to call the place where the therapist is and see if I truly got to wait five months for someone. I really need to have someone to talk to regularly.

I picked up some hot dogs yesterday. I plan on having them for lunch today. I might make a pasta salad for dinner. I bought colored pasta and a creamy Italian dressing. I got to shower today. I was all sweaty and stinky yesterday but I ran out of spoons as I got a migraine in the afternoon before I saw my DMH worker. I felt so awful. I went to bed kind of late. I still woke up in the middle of the night to pee. I didn’t stay up though. I was able to get back to sleep.

My neuro wants me to talk to a therapist about the dreams giving me migraines. The therapist I was seeing before mentioned that it was psychological but she never delved into it or explored it with me. I really hated when she did shit like that. Part of the reason I no longer see her.

I am in such a mood today. I just want to lay down. I need to keep busy to prevent this from happening. I am going to make lunch soon. I might have baked beans with the hot dogs. I am going to try and increase my fluids today. I am keeping track mentally of what I drink. Goal is to drink at least 128 ounces (3840 ml). I am half way there, so far. This headache is making me want to lay down. I can’t seem to get rid of it. The migraine aspect of it is gone but the rebound headache sucks. The headache is now giving me pins and needles on my head. I got to take gaba for it. Neuro said to add it in the afternoon. Not sure it will make me tired. I know it will probably make me goofy and spaced out.

I had to call registration because my insurance has been pending review all year. I had to go through the whole speal. I found out that social security didn’t update my gender to Medicare so now I have to call them to change it. I also got to email my birth certificate to change it to male for my medical records. Being on the phone wasn’t what I had planned for today.

I need to shower. I hate showering. Always flares up my back and makes me tired. I am not in the shower long, maybe ten minutes tops. I really miss the days where I used to shower whenever and be ok with it.
