I am so lucky.  I seriously am.  I really think they have gone above and beyond “Customer Service,” this time.
Because I am still not working, I am on a stoopid guvmunt plan where I need to pay out of pocket for my meds.  As you can imagine, this is rather painful when you are on [...]

My (Very Early Morning) EEG

November 20, 2009 in ADD, Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Head Injury, Hospitalizations, Humour, Life is Stranger Than Fiction, Medicine, Meds, Neat Neuro Stuff, PTSD, Seizures

Ugh.  I’m still waiting for the Tea Faeries to alight upon my shoulders, with blessings of sweet caffeine relief, but to no avail…  Yes, I was up very early this morning (after staying up a little late?) for another EEG!
Let’s just say the whole thing started off with a bang.  Literally.  The hospital’s revolving door’s [...]

Networks of Contagion: From the Social to the Psyche and Back

November 17, 2009 in Asperger's, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Humour, Literary, Medicine, Meds, Neat Neuro Stuff, Profanity, You Decide

I’m going to try and keep this as succinct as possible, so you won’t start (yawning and), fall asleep!
I’ve been noticing for a while on Twitter, that when people express themselves, they tend to change their writing styles to that of whom they meet and Follow.  Certain acronyms, emoticons, abbreviations…all of these things get used [...]

The Flashback That Didn’t Flash Back

November 13, 2009 in ADD, Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Health, Medicine, PTSD, Patient Advocacy, Therapy, You Decide

That Post Title is actually a lie.  If you’re not already familiar with PTSD, or you don’t have it, flashbacks always do “Flash Back” in one form or another.  That’s just the nature of PTSD.  You never know when flashbacks will hit, what they’ll be like, what to expect…  But I’ll bet you my last [...]

A New MP3 and My Story Behind It

November 2, 2009 in Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, Blogging, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Life is Stranger Than Fiction, MP3 of the Moment, You Decide

First, this is somewhat long but I don’t want that to turn you off.  I want that to turn you on.  If you can listen to it, I guarantee it will affect you in some way! *laughing*
I don’t know if any of you have heard of Christy Doran.  Irish born, extremely talented guitarist, who, when [...]

fish-thoughts

October 30, 2009 in ADD, Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Fiction is Stranger Than Life, Health, Humour, Life is Stranger Than Fiction, Literary, PTSD, Therapy, You Decide

It seems I’ve taken to lying in my bed these nights, with too many things running through my head.  I can not stop them.  They are like demented fish in a shallow pool, with half of their tails missing, and gills on either only their left or right sides.  If I owned a gun (which [...]

I Received a Very Special Privilege and Honour Today

October 29, 2009 in ADD, Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, Blogging, Blogroll, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Health, Life is Stranger Than Fiction, Medicine, Migraines, PTSD, Patient Advocacy, Seizures, Self Medication, Therapy, You Decide

This morning I found out that I was considered for an award, and received an “Honorary Mention” from Psych Central. If you haven’t heard of them, they are pretty awesome. They have been recognized and received accolades themselves. I should have blogrolled them ages ago, but PA can be a little bit [...]

Ending the Cycle of Abuse

October 26, 2009 in ADD, Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Health, PTSD, Patient Advocacy, Therapy, You Decide

I have discussed this topic with my sister who is five years my senior.  In fact, we have discussed it many times.  We both have a complete: “The buck stops here!” attitude about it, actually.  However, there are multiple, marked and varied factors at play for both of us.
Even though we both suffered the same [...]

Not.So.Good.So.Far.

October 21, 2009 in ADD, Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, Cranky, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Head Injury, Health, Hospitalizations, Medicine, Meds, Neat Neuro Stuff, PTSD, Seizures, Therapy

I feel like a filthy, disgusting rat that has been traipsing endlessly, throughout the sewers of the city all night.  And speaking of filthy, disgusting and night, I awoke from the worst nightmare of my entire life! Absolutely! Without question! Bar none! I will not disclose any of the content, lest I throw the majority [...]

Home Again, Home Again! Drinkity, Drinkity, Drink!

October 20, 2009 in ADD, Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, Blogging, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Humour, Life is Stranger Than Fiction, Migraines, Seizures, Self Medication, Therapy, You Decide

NO! I DID NOT DRINK! But oh, did I want to! I was so anxious leaving J.’s that I had to take a Valium/Diazepam as I thought I was going to throw up all over the place! After being so sick before, with the tonic-clonic in early September and staying there for a week, I [...]
