Hey

Sorry for the light and frivolous posting recently. My apologies for giving you "too much information" in advance, but I've really not been feeling very well and have been experiencing some major side effects of the muscle relaxers I was prescribed two weeks ago. I've been off them for over a week and I am still experiencing these same side-effects with the same intensity. Essentially I'm walking around in a haze that won't go away.

Today, after returning to the doctor, he told me that the muscle relaxers that I was on were actually designed to shut down certain pain impulses going to my Central Nervous System. In otherwords, it was literally shutting down a portion of my effin' brain. If he would have told me this when he prescribed them to me (and I did ask), I would have suffered through a stiff neck instead.

So, I go to the Doc again today and tell him what I am going through, his nurse incorrectly takes my bloodpressure not once, but twice, then he prescribes me something else and almost walks out of the room. I asked him what it was that we was prescribing and he said, "Stuff to clear up your head."

"Yeah, how?"

"It's medicine for your head."

"What does it do?"

"Makes you not groggy anymore."

That was my last visit to Dr. Non-Specific-Engrish-as-a-Second-Language-Guy. I went to the Pharmacsist and asked what the perscription was, and it was a bunch of little yellow pills that counter dizziness by stabalizing your inner freaking ear.

Dummy.

In the meantime, my brain literally hurts, and I've got all these paranoid thoughts that my brain has been running on Microsoft Windows 98 all this time and is just ready to crash permanently.

Labotomy is looking good.
