Analgesic Rebound

So, I went to Kaiser because my head always hurts, and I have memory issues.

The first doctor had no idea what was wrong, so she prescribed Midrin (a pain killer used for both tension headaches and migraines) and gave me an appointment with an neurologist. When I went to see said neurologist, he told me that I am on analgesic rebound.

Basically, ALL drugs are habit forming, even ibuprofen and acetaminophen, no matter what you hear from anyone. And so the only way for me to get my head to NOT hurt is to not take painkillers. I must embrace the pain, and learn to ignore it, and this could take months.

This is exactly why I never liked taking medications. And exactly why I never did up until this year. Stupid irony sucks ass.

Oh, and supposedly the memory thing will straighten out on its own, and if it doesn't i have to go back for "rigorous testing."

So, if you see me, I'll probably be in pain...
