Ever had a headache all day? Makes the day just draaaaaaag on, right? Ever had one for 2 days? By the end of the second day, things that used to be funny just be come annoying? Ever had a headache for a week? How about 2? I was running on my THIRD week of headache fun before I went to the doctor (and all of you who know me well must have figured out that my friends here had to convince me to go even then.) But it is amazing to me just how tortuous law school is with a three week headache. I think the first three weeks were some of the worse I have had in my academic career. I had this burning desire to just tear into people, for practically no reason at all. And not just annoying people, but my friends and family as well. It was like my whole body had just gone insane, and every system gave up at once. Trying to think? NO! Try to eat? NO! Try to be cheerful? NO NO AND NO!!!!!
So I went to the health center, and thankfully they sent me to a neurologist. He's a cool guy, and he gave me codiene, which I liked for about a day. But man, trying to function all day in classes and meeting on codiene....woooooo...let me tell you I am glad I warned people in advance, because I was spacing out. This weekend I essentially hibernated in my room, with no human contact and as little movement as possible. And, thankfully, the virus that was beating on me seems to have taken a beating itself, as I am feeling quite a bit better. Granted, I am still on 2 different drugs, and I have not field tested myself (that fun shall be tomorrow, when I am back in school) but at least for now I can think without pain, read without my eyes tearing, and eating without puking. Man, it's good to be pseudo healthy. :-)
