Up and at ‘Em

The past couple of weeks for me were as much about the holidays as they were about dealing with a never-ending migraine. A visit to a fancy headache doctor produced some new pills for me to take, which I still haven’t tried. There’s your clue to how much I “love” taking any medicine… But sometimes they are a necessary evil. As I’m now at a point where lobotomy is no longer a “thriller book option”, and guillotine sounds more and more appealing…

The doctor gave me a 3-day pack of steroids to try to get rid of my 2-week long migraine. I hate steroids in general but do enjoy their “up and at ’em” energy rush that they often bring (a necessary evil’s  pleasant side effect 🙂 ). I told the doctor I’m going to chase the pills with alcohol – “one upper and one downer”, to be in a perfectly balanced mood – I learned it from my patients. I don’t think she appreciated my joke. She is a new doctor, I know she’ll learn to “love” me… You simply can’t not to, I’m just too adorable 🙂

“Up and at ’em” in the kitchen, courtesy of dexamethazone, at least the “side effects” are “perfect and balanced”.

Now if I could only get rid of this headache! Maybe I should try chasing it away with alcohol…
