is a hard one. My brain doesn’t work until after the first cup of coffee, or second depending on the night before.  That makes it sound like I am out drinking every night, but I’m not. Like many other people, I am on regular medication for a condition that comes with heavy side effects. In my case — migraines are a serious problem for me and now I have started having every day headaches. New meds, different side effects, and another MRI coming up as soon as I have a chance to schedule it.

Honestly, I am lucky. Of all the things to have as a medical issue, there are meds that do help, even if they make me sleepy, and lots of things to turn to in order to try and figure out what causes this. But I am still frustrated as hell. The weirdest thing is that I have some memory loss — saying or doing things and not remembering that I did them. I’ve been trying to keep this part a secret, but if I don’t explain that this probably has something to do with the meds and headaches, then I just seem like a ditzy blonde. I’m not. I’m just a blonde with something wrong with her head. That doesn’t sound all that different but it really is, I promise.
