I was laid out with a migraine yesterday, a result (I think) of the change of the weather  — or changes, plural. Barometric pressure changes get caught up in my skull and my brains push their way out from the inside, or at least try to. I’m having many fewer of them, so I almost forget what they feel like until they lay me out. Yesterday, one started at 1 and I was only able to teach at 8 with the help of medication, another issue. When you need pain medication and run out, it’s hard to get refills — between doctors and insurance, they want to know what you’ve been doing with those pills. I haven’t been selling them, and I need the medication. How do we deal with that? With the increasing focus on teenagers taking pills from their parents’ medicine cabinets (a truly important issue), we also have to have the ability for people in pain to get relief. I sobbed, I threw up, and I waited four hours for my dr to be able to call back and call in the prescription. Pain is so serious, I cannot emphasize that enough.

And this morning, my head is a raw egg. I am walking around carefully, trying to keep it from cracking.
