daily_migraine [taphophile]

02:42 pm - Post for the moderator Can we add more tags to the tags list, such as ganking those from the migraines community? There are tags I'd love to use here so I and others can look things up by tags, but there just aren't that many tags to choose from. Am I being to picky or controlling by asking? Thank you in advance. Current Mood: owie Tags: attention mod:

10:29 am Sorry about missing last week. As you all know, this time of year is always a bitch! Zetetic [ze-tet'ik] adjective or noun Definition Proceeding by inquiry; a search or investigation; a skeptical seeker of knowledge. A term originally used to refer to Pyrrhonists, a group of ancient Greek skeptics, it has come to mean both the process of inquiry and one who so proceeds. A zetetic is thus a sort of intellectual agnostic who, while seeking greater truths, is always wary of falsehood. Etymology Greek zetetikos, from zeteein, 'to seek.' Usage Sandra always used to refer to herself, in a rather grandiose manner, that she was a zetetic - a seeker of truth and wisdom, and wary of being mislead. I, however, in a zetetic manner rather figured her to just be an argumentative bitch. True story, except the Sandra of the tale isn't smart enough to know what a zetetic is!

10:26 pm - WAUGH FINALS TUESDAY contretemps [KON-truh-tahn; Fr. kawntruh-TAHN] noun an inopportune occurrence; an embarrassing mischance An unforeseen event that disrupts the normal course of things; an inopportune occurrence. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/contretemps I congratulated myself on being the first in line to speak to the new boss to recommend myself and my abilities. Unfortunately a contretemps in the form of a fly buzzing into my mouth as I opened it to speak kept me from giving this boss my name, and Eliza behind me got the promotion. Tags: c, noun

06:02 pm The one thing that I don't get is why I am having chest pains AND passing out with the said horrible migraines that I've been dealing with. I've been at a 9/10 for almost two weeks now. And I don't want to go back to the ER a second week in a row, after going the previous two weeks. But if I've got to go. Then I'm going to. But GD!!! I'm sick of the pain. I truly am. I feel like I can't breathe anymore... or at least right now. I'm scared y'all. Maybe it's my situation at home (read my LJ for more info)... but I really feel lost with this one. ~c x-posted migraines and daily_migraine

04:41 pm - can't live like this anymore. I know I haven't posted here in forever. But that's because there hasn't been much change. I'm off the Excedrin right now and on Celebrex which, like all the other drugs I've tried (I think I'm somewhere around 50-60 now) is not helping. I didn't like my new neuro, which is good, because we got a letter from MHNI saying he had to suddenly leave, and now I have another new one, a woman, so yay. But I'm having a moment here, like, I can't live like this anymore, you know? But I have no choice. (I've had headaches daily for a decade, you'd think I would've said this earlier). /whine Plus I've gotten into online dating now and it's like, how do you tell someone that your head hurts 24/7? That you have to avoid certain things and always make sure you have your meds and stuff. Current Mood: sore Tags: 4/5, medication
