Same vibe as “it’s all in your head”
Like… yep. That’s… that’s a factually correct statement. What’s your point again?

Just read a scientific article that found that we ADHD folks tend to focus on the cost of a task more than the benefits and that medication helps us see the benefits of tasks more which helps with motivation for hard tasks.
And god does that make sense to me, it explains so much! It explains why it’s so hard to get anything done no matter how important to me the end result is. I procrastinate even for things I really want like making chocolate chip cookies. My brain just thinks of all the things I would need to do to get those cookies and gives up instead of thinking of how amazing it would be to have freshly baked cookies.
Lord have mercy. I DO NOT need to go off ADHD meds again. Second day back on after a week of being out, and I sorted my online store and gratitude packet items, sifted out the expired and soon-to-expire snacks to make room for new inventory, and sorted the laundry. In the last five hours. I’m tired, but god, it feels good to be able to get things done again.
3rd shot in the arm today!! Whoohoo! Who’d have thunk I’d be psyched to get a shot. TBH, I have been nervous because - even tho my test results showed I made some antibodies - I am on one of the meds listed as preventing ppl from making a high amount of antibodies. Like my Drs just haven’t been sure if I’ve really been protected. Hopefully now I am. #GetVaccinated to help protect me even more! (Seriously, I don’t wanna get Covid. Pls help protect me. This has been my Ted Talk).

“Why did you abruptly stop your medication?”
Your insurance company when they refuse to cover the price but know you need the medication
Me @ myself forgetting to take my medication
Looking through the side effects of a new medication
30 minutes after you take your medication
I haven’t had to update this in a while, which has been good, in this case no news really has been good(ish) news.
So what’s happened since last April? To sum up:
> I caught so many bugs it was unbelievable, but none of them caused any hospital visits and as my immune system regained its strength I did stop catching everything.
> I have Trigeminal Neuralgia & take Carbamazapine to stop it from causing me pain, which coincidentally has also seemed to help my back problems.
> I still have to use crutches every so often, but much less than I was starting to use them.
> I’ve had 3 mysterious skin allergic reactions (as shown in previous post), around 10 issues with my eye - itching/pain - that was stopped by piriton - & now have very dry skin/eczema on my eyelids (Aveeno cream clears it up within 24 each time). The GP I saw has suggested that this is all an allergic reaction to the TN meds, but the TN is definitely still worse than all of that. I’m yet to see if my neuro agrees…
> I had a 2 week spell of headaches behind the eyes couple with some mild vertigo recently, but optician couldn’t find an issue, neither could the GP. Again, yet to really bring it up with anyone on the MS team.
> Fatigue, stiffness and memory issues are unfortunately still ever present, but I think they might be something that stick with me for ever to be honest.
> There have (of course) been other issues here & there, but right now none spring to mind…
Once again it has been a while since I have posted on here but I am hoping that now I have an actual computer, not a laptop that I keep dropping, that I will be posting a lot more.
Not much has gone on really, i’m still ill but not so heartbroken any more which is a good thing I suppose, finally think I may actually be getting over him. Still depressed and anxious plus ive gained weight due to being on steroids for a prolong amount of time. I keep trying to stay positive, but its really fucking hard too, I know things could be a lot worse but they could also be a lot better, I think what gets to me the most is the fact that there is just no end in sight with my illness, especially as none of the medication that they use for my condition works on me,

Thedeath of Michael Jackson occurred on June 25, 2009, where the American artist, described as the “King of Pop” for his contributions to music, dance, and fashion, died of acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication at his home in Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles County Coronerconcluded that his death was a homicide. Shortly before his death, Jackson had reportedly been administered propofol and two anti-anxiety drugs in his home. His personal physician was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2011 and served a two-year prison sentence.
Jackson’s death triggered an outpouring of reactions around the world. A public memorial service for Jackson was held on July 7, 2009, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, where he had rehearsed for planned London concerts the night before his death. The service was broadcast live around the world, attracting a global audience of up to one billion people.

Lonely Hooves 4-10
Winter gloom is setting in outside, time to fill the comic with ponk to offset the utter lack of color and light.
There was a strong temptation to make her expressions more wild on this one as well, but considering the subject matter that felt… inappropriate. That middle panel is pure sugar-tier sweet tho.

Jfjskkd so I got my new prescription today for Suboxone and I went to cut the pills in half like normal, since I do a half at night and half in the morning. Well, got to the second of two tabs and my pill cutter exploded. So I called them and was like hey in the future could we just do the same total in 2mg tablets rather than 8mg tablets? And she sort of paused like weird question but okay. And I was like I break the pills in half and I almost got diced by the pill cutter
And I hear this little chuckle in the background followed by a much louder “of course!” followed by more laughter. Which like, can’t blame them for it. I laughed pretty hysterically. After I got over the fear that I almost dropped a brand new prescription of Suboxone down the drain and would have had to wait until Friday to refill it.
Meowmeow is a very well behaved cat, most cats aren’t this easy but the information is helpful. If you can’t pill your pet tell your veterinarian! We can often get medicine made into easier to give forms like liquids, gel, transdermal, or tiny pills that melt in the tongue. Not all medication can be made into different forms but we can always find out. Also keep in mind that getting meds compounded does increase the cost a bit but often it’s worth it.
