Dark Shadows
No, I'm not talking about the old soap opera. Shadows are a sort of pressure or presence felt on the cluster side of the head The pain level is usually around 1 - 3. They can either be a warning a hit is coming, hang on after a hit is over or sometimes just come and hang on for a while and never materialize into an attack. Anyways, I'm having heavy shadows today, just shy of a 4 on the Kip Scale. Depression is also weighing me down pretty hard. I got woke up this morning at 2:00, 3:25 and 5:15, then up at 6:00 to get the kids off to school. Got the wife up at 7:15 and off to work. Got hit again at 7:50 and 10:00. That's my 5 for the day, except it's only 12:45. There's a lot of day left. How many more do I have to suffer through today?
I'm waiting on a new prescription. STILL! I sent it in over 2 weeks ago. I finally get a call from the insurance's home delivery service yesterday, saying they can't fill the script, because the med isn't made anymore. Don't these people talk to each other or write notes in a person's file or something? The script is for Methysergide, the generic name for Sansert. Sansert has been discontinued in the US, but a compounding pharmacy can still make it. I called them about a month ago to make sure they could fill it before I sent it in to them. I received an e-mail saying yes they could fill it, go ahead and mail it in and they would send it to their specialty pharmacy to be filled. So after 20 minutes on the phone yesterday, they finally figured it all out and sent it over to the specialty pharmacy. Today, I get a call informing me that my prescription had to be sent to their specialty pharmacy and gave me the number to call them to track the status. Hello? Talk about the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing! Sheesh!
Oh, well. Back to the daily grind.
