BAD, BAD Seizure!

October 24, 2009 in ADD, Cranky, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Head Injury, Health, Medicine, Meds, Neat Neuro Stuff, Patient Advocacy, Seizures, Therapy

Alright, let’s move back a bit to the beginning of my day, prior to when I exploded last night.  Something was desperately wrong with me.  I felt like I was permanently living in a state of Orthostatic Hypotension.  I was so dizzy, felt so faint, and like you could knock me over by simply blowing [...]

Not.So.Good.So.Far.

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 [...]

Simple Partial Seizure Notation

October 19, 2009 in Facts About Patient Anonymous, Head Injury, Health, Medicine, Meds, Neat Neuro Stuff, Seizures

I’m kinda baked so I’m putting this here.  Well, I think they’re all here anyway but I’ll add it to my big document later.
Epigastric rising, unsure of rapid eye blinking but did not seem to occur. *shakes head* Epigastric rising lasted several (app. five?) minutes.  During said time period, minor motor spasms in right leg [...]

For Worse or For Better?

I can barely string enough words together to be coherent (well, maybe…slowly…and my typing sure is slow!) I guess that’s what happens when half of your brain is still lying all around one of your best friend’s apartment after your worst meltdown ever.
I wasn’t going to post anything but some Valium has given me energy [...]

What’s Left Then?

Well, the ADD is all pervasive.  It never leaves.  I could wake up with another Migraine From Hell tomorrow but we’ll have to wait for that?
So, within one bloody, fucking day, we’ve (I’ve?) managed to go through all of all my diagnoses.
This is some kind of record.  No.  It is a record.  This makes no [...]

You Are Not Sick…You Are Well…You Are Not Sick…You Are Well…
As Far As Meds Tonight:
Another Maxalt/Rizatriptan (On The Heels Of Just Getting Over “The Migraine From Hell?” Another One? Neurologically Not Good?) Gravol/Dimenhydrinate, Valium/Diazepam.  The Regular Stuff: Topamax/Topiramate, Lamictal/Lamotrigine, Clobazam/Frisium, Seroquel/Quetiapine.
Ibuprophen That Didn’t Even Make A Dent Before Taking The Migraine Triptan.  My World, It [...]

The Second Time, The Worst One

October 7, 2009 in Cranky, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Health, Medicine, Meds, Migraines, Political, Spock, The Tummy Blues, Therapy, You Decide

This migraine is my worst ever.  I have only had two “Puking Migraines” in my life.  I’m sure you have guessed this is one of them.  The other happened when I woke up on my 29th birthday.  “Happy Birthday!” *horns tooting* That didn’t matter so much; it happening on my birthday.  I’m not really big [...]

Merlin #2 and Stoopid Guvmunt But…(!)

September 24, 2009 in ADD, Asperger's, Bipolar Disorder, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Head Injury, Health, Humour, Life is Stranger Than Fiction, Medicine, Meds, Neat Neuro Stuff, Patient Advocacy, Political, Seizures, Therapy

I saw Merlin #2 today, and the first thing he said to me was, “How much weight have you lost?!” *laughing* I responded in my typical fashion, not knowing what the fuck I look like, with a blank stare.  This was of course after we had our happy exchange of:
“You ready PA?” (Merlin #2 more [...]

And the Neurological Saga Continues…

September 21, 2009 in ADD, Bipolar Disorder, Cranky, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Head Injury, Health, Medicine, Meds, Neat Neuro Stuff, PTSD, Patient Advocacy, Seizures, Therapy

Bear with me.  I can barely see.  This post may be a mess.
I went to see Non-Arsey Neuro who was most accommodating.  He fit me in after I telephoned him this morning.  I tried to mumble all of the information I wished to convey to him within our app. 20-25 minutes together–mostly about (what I [...]

Extremely Tired, Yet Extremely Impressed!

September 21, 2009 in ADD, Facts About Patient Anonymous, Head Injury, Health, Medicine, Meds, Neat Neuro Stuff, Patient Advocacy, Seizures, Therapy

It would appear that Tsarina Seizurella© may have some pull with Non-Arsey Neuro.  Or, perhaps the fact that she is still sick for nearly, three, bloody weeks after a tonic-clonic seizure! Maybe both?
The Empress of ADD© also had to wake up early this morning.  She had to call Merlin #2.  She’s been so out of [...]
