I Now Know From Tired.
July 28th, 2008 by trancejen
FOR the love of Jaysus, I am tired. I know I say that every other damned day, but today I mean it. Having seized a good portion of the day away, I mean it. Does Topamax not work for everyone, or just for me?? Cursing Topamax, I mean it. Listening to my niece and my son fight over a fake microphone while watching a taped portion of the Hannah Motherfucking Montana concert and singing at the top of their crazed little lungs, I mean it. I am soul-shitting tired.
I just want to sleep until the end of the week, please, in one of those Tempurpedic deals that sucks a person in like quicksand and will envelop me in sweet, sweet coma-like dreamland until I no longer ache, shake, or fall down.
That’s all I ask. It doesn’t seem like much.

Hee hee… “soul-shitting tired”
I’ve never heard it expressed like that before.

When I was on the Dopamax all it did was give me Neuropathy in my hands and feet - other than that it didn’t do shit. It’s an over rated medication that should only be used for Parkinson’s patients. Time for your doctors to get off their fat rich asses and get you the treatment that you truly need. If I had the means I’d pay for you to go to the Barrow institute for some hardcore diagnoses and therapy. So sorry this is happening to you Jen…I really am. It’s time for your sister to get her lazy ass out of your lives again so you can get some much needed rest. I’m betting the added stress is making the seizing worse.

Topamax didn’t do much for my friend with epilepsy. Well, his combo of drugs did keep him (for the first time in years) seizure free for over eighteen months. But, then they came back stronger than ever. Sadly he seized while kayaking (his first time ever in a boat) and, well, he’s not with us anymore. Doesn’t seem to be the best drug out there. I’m sorry if what I wrote is distressing to you, but I’d tell your doc that it’s not working.

okay this has absolutely nothing to do with what you are currently talking about. i am a long time lurker and very infrequent commenter (regrettably).
there are two of your entries that i am in search of because they were fantastic, and i can’t seem to find them. one being “the patrons of chez crazy” where you talk about j. love the olympic eater, and another in which you rattle off drug side effects and your various interpretations of them. both are awesome and i hope you can possibly steer me to where i can find them.
i have scoured your archives and done searches, to no avail.

Julie, let me look and get back to you on that. I think I have some idea what they both were called.

For some reason the J-Love entry is gone from the site - deleted. I think I have it somewhere on my computer, though, so I’m going to search through some files. I’ll look for the medication one, too.
