Ahahaha you guys. This morning I woke up at 5:30 a.m. with PIERCING ICE-PICK PAINS in my left ear, and a headache, and a crummy-all-over feeling. So I went to the doctor's office (okay, I TRIED to go to the dr's office and was told "full up, go to the ER!") and the guy there said "Um, yeah - no ear infection, but have you been stressed lately?"
Me: WELL MAYBE A LITTLE UM YES POSSIBLY SLIGHTLY.
Him: Does this hurt? [sticks fingers in my ears, waggles my jaw back and forth]
Me: Um, a little? Like, it's tender.
Him: And you said you have a headache?
Me: Yep.
Him: Yeah. You've been clenching your jaw. Here are some muscle relaxants and here's some prescrip-strength ibuprofen. Stop doing that.
Me: Oh, boy! Drugs!
Last time I took this muscle relaxant (cyclobenzaprine, I think, if you're playing along at home), I fell asleep 20 minutes after swallowing it and woke up 14 hours later. For a gal who averages 5 to 7 hours of sleep a night, this is super-exciting news - I'm getting kind of anticipatory and hopeful, here. I'd take it right at 8 p.m., since that's when the kids go to bed, but I want to watch SGA. So at 9:30, cyclobenzaprine ahoy, and sweet SGA dreams to follow. Hurrah! |
