Wow...it's been a long time since I have done a diary here...you see, real life got in the way and kicked my butt around for the last 6 months. Tonight I find myself totally out of sorts and missing the company of my kos friends. So, here's a bit about what's going on with me...I hope that you will fill me in on what you have been up to of late.
I lost my job with the law firm that I had been working with since graduating from law school....started teaching college. Love the teaching, not so much the hours! For the last two weeks though, things have been going a bit off the rails. I get migraines...a lot of them. To prevent them, my doctor put me on amitriptyline (which is also a try-cyclic anti-depressant). It worked great...cut down on the migraines and it also helped me sleep. This all went well until my doctor refused to keep giving me refills without going in for an office visit (which I can understand to a point).
The problem with this is the side-effects. I cannot sleep. I can eat. I swing between happiness and horrific sadness. My muscles ache and I am often running a fever. It makes concentrating incredibly difficult. I understand not wanting to give a patient medication without seeing them and, hey, it's an easy $100 visit, but I can't help but wonder how much less trouble I would be having had the doctor given me a month or two to wean myself from the medicine.
Anyway, done rambling now...how are you?
