Dancing the dance

Of the MOH tango.

I've been sidelined by an elbow injury. I've found that I can't take anti-inflammatories more than 3 days in a row without getting into trouble. However, I can be on ultram for weeks and not have a problem. This has been tested a couple of times. It's hard explaining that to people. Doctors don't understand (for the most part.), and wonder if you're drug-seeking.

No, not I, she said

All I want is a clear head.

The employee health person here at my job "gets it." I almost cried from joy when she said that she understood what I was saying, and there was no reason to have me worry about MOH. She wrote the script until I could see the ortho. The ortho doesn't get it. He finally reluctantly gave me a script for 7 days. Great. Considering I don't see him for another 3 weeks, that ain't gonna do it.

Still, I worry that this is the time that it won't work anymore, and I'll have to either choose the pain or MOH. 

So much to think about. Typing this with one hand, getting voice rec. software, oh, gosh, this is a major pain in the... elbow.

But I haven't had a migraine in over a week. It feels amazing. Is this what other people live like? i hardly remember now a time without head pain even though it's only been a few years since diagnosis.

cheers,
