I took a DNA test…

Turns out I’m 100% that impatient.

I spit into the tube, I put it in the mailbox this morning. Now we wait. I still have a headache and more neck/back pain this morning. I am going to be anxiously awaiting these results.

I also looked into filling my migraine medication, as I have a prescription at the pharmacy. I thought maybe if it was reasonable I’d just pay it out of pocket. That was a big fucking nope. The price was outrageous and that was even using GoodRx. So I’ll wait till Friday, have my neurologist get it preapproved again through insurance and then hopefully have a reasonable cost on it.

I’m just sitting down to work so for the next 8 hours I’ll be working on a project simultaneously while doing my regular work. I’ll of course post this project here later once it’s done as it’s for you all and me.

Have a rad day x

So I know I mentioned in the first post that I am HORRIBLE at remembering to post on a daily… weekly… or even monthly basis. I am telling myself I will be better at this. So here we go. Things that have happened since the last post….

I got the Botox injections into my neck and shoulder. 100 CC, the lowest dosage. The effects lasted for about 3 weeks maaaaaaybe 4 weeks and now I am back to daily intense pain and even mind splitting headaches. I need to remember to write down my daily problems.

I also had my 4 month check up with my PCP and he tested me for RA. It came back negative which was very disheartening. My joints have definitely gotten worse in the past year (my knees, my elbows, hips, and ankles). I did just purchase one of those 23 and Me for the health testing. I curious to see the results it gives.

I am still going to work everyday, as I am considered essential. I am working in medical records in a Cardiology office. Unfortunately for me and fortunately for anyone who goes to a healthcare provider it is against HIPAA for me to work from home and have any HIM out of the facility.

I know this update isn’t much but it is where I am. Also my head is killing me today. I have been off of my Amovig and Trokendi due to switching jobs and now I am waiting for my new insurance to kick in (May 1).

If you have ideas of posts you would like to see or questions post them below. I hope you all have a safe and happy week x
