Life with the elves has been pretty rough the past couple of weeks. They just won't give me a break. They're so excited about summer that they just party all day every day. And if you've ever had a party inside your brain (a non-drug-induced party, that is), you know that it's not very fun. Because it's summer and I'm living in a new place and thus want to make friends, I've tried to have a little bit of a social life. I've been fairly successful, but only because I medicate myself before every social function. I have to sedate the elves so they'll give me a break. I've been trying to plan for school a little, but the elves don't like it when I do that either. I guess I take some of my brain power away from their party so their loud music and strobe lights don't work as well. Then they get mad and try to take it back--usually successfully.
The potentially good news is I go to a new doctor Wednesday (any and all prayers are greatly appreciated), and supposedly he's suffered from migraines himself. It will be nice to get a different perspective--and from someone who's been there. Going to a new doctor is always a bit of a pain because I have to explain seven years of my life and then see his shock when I hand him a list of the 40 medications I've tried without success. I'm making Christian go with me to the doctor to listen for me when I get stressed or start hurting and tune out what he's saying--and to make sure I don't minimize my condition. Hopefully it will be a good experience, and hopefully he'll have an idea none of my other doctors have had. I'll be sure to update you after my appointment (if the elves will give me permission, that is--darn those elves).
