That EEG took me the hell out and I’m still tired..
Ironically, I had to miss an epilepsy themed open mic because of it. Still no results that I can see. -Allēna

With my back being fucky, it’s given me a lot of time to think.
There isn’t a lot I can do at present except stay in bed most of the time even if I would otherwise have the energy to move around and do things. When I do attempt to get out of bed and do things, my spine and hips start to scream again and that isn’t a…

I saw this post yesterday.
I have some things to say about it. Fuck the hardliners, as long as you’re doing your best to be a decent human being, all progress is good progress and the best praxis is to start right now with exactly what you have. There is no single definition of what being a “good leftist” looks…

Had a doctor’s appointment today.
My provider got me a referral to a GI specialist for my gut pain, is gonna bother neurology about FINALLY getting me in for an EEG, and when I told her about how I got my caffeine allergy (2,000 mg of caffeine per day for years), she exclaimed “THAT’S BAD!!” as if she were scolding…

Will wonders never cease…
It would seem that I am developing an allergy to caffeine. It makes me itch and gives me a splitting headache in high enough concentrations. I wonder if that contributed to the seizure the other day. Whee. -Allēna

I think seizure brain is improving??
It’s slow going and I’m still experiencing symptoms, but they seem to improve the more I sleep, which makes total sense. -Allēna
