Did you know that the two migraine preventative meds that my PCP first thinks of are, respectively, an anti-depressant and a depressant? This is less than useful when I'm already _on_ an anti-depressant! She will do additional investigation to find something for me.
Potassium levels _very slightly_ high.
"Good" cholesterol is high, thereby increasing my overall cholesterol. "Bad" cholesterol is only very slightly high, though. (this is as per normal for my family, so I'm glad that I didn't have to ask her to look at that rather than assuming that high cholesterol was automatically bad)
I have no idea if my slight increase in anti-depressant meds is helping. I suspect that it is, though. I don't feel much worse than a month ago, and I normally would be, I think. However, I suspect that my psychiatrist'll want to increase it more, since not being depressed at _all_ would be good (if annoyingly variable a medication dose depending on season!).
My head hurts. And I'm so tired of being congested every winter. On the plus side, it's not the near constant weird migraine of mine. Just often, instead of always. And still always true when I'm lying down (as is a dizzy side-effect when I lie down or get up). Mrf. (sleeping with a nasty headache is difficult, I note)
Tired. Approaching first school application deadline at the beginning of next month. And then there's three due in early and mid January. And then one in March (go figure). I may be slightly insane in December, due to those three in January.
I keep having to pester my former boss to finish my school recommendations. He claims this week. We'll see.
My self-contained shrimpies have died. Is sad.
I have apple pie. It will be my mid-afternoon snack. (nom nom nom!)
