Alternative xmas gifting 2005 December 22 0:45
Posted by diamond in : Random , 3 commentsMyself and molc ordered each other’s xmas presents earlier. I’m buying him this, and he’s buying me one of these. It’s a slightly unusual setup ,-)
In other news michelle has been very kind by giving me a teddy to set on fire (virtually at least. am waiting to see if it materialises in real life). Apparently the appropriate response is “yes Michelle, you are wonderful indeed”, consider it now given.
Went to the doctors’ yesterday. I go to a practise of about 6 GP’s on charlotte’s quay. I’ve been going there for about 4 years, and usually you get assigned a random GP when you make an appointment. When i was there a month ago, i decided i’d try asking for a specific doctor, one i’d only seen once, about 3 years ago, but she’d really impressed me as someone who listened and understood. Anyway, it was her i saw yesterday, and again, she was amazing. It really helps when you find you’re talking to someone who really gets it, even if there’s nothing specifically that they can do to help. She’s told me to try 60mg instead, and gave me a prescription for said. She prescribed me hypercortisone for the eczema on my right eyelid, which scares me. A cream which shouldn’t be used more than twice a day and for no more than 14 days, because it’ll make the skin thin and brittle, scares me. She also told me i have many of the classic signs of depression -/ If that’s true (and i don’t doubt her), it’s been the case for a long time.
So, we’ll see how this goes. The current dose of 50mg isn’t working well at all. I suspect my body is even better adjusted to it than before i went on the higher dose for the month. Inappropriate yay. The one good piece of news is that i can currently drive. That makes getting home to athlone for xmas vastly easier (or even possible).
