A slightly longer post encapsulating things, I guess.

Good news: I am completely at baseline, am making steady progress bridging my oldest son into adulthood although he will continue to need lifelong assistance, and am waiting until Thanksgiving holiday and the following weekend are… done with before I call my primary care physician about possibly, probably needing to be put on Plavix (aspirin is a no-go for me for a number of reasons and has been untenable for years), and touching base with a neurologist about my epilepsy rather than having him handle it as admirably as he has handled it in the past. I don’t mind this as long as I don’t get the most recent neurologist I had before I switched migraine care to the local pain management clinic, because all she did was throw triptans at me telling me that I would “have to get used to the (migraine) pain” when triptans are contraindicated in people with cardiovascular issues and this was something that she did not even bother attempting to look at or confirm, come to find out that triptans were causing significant problems in me unrelated to my migraines and that I shouldn’t ever have been put on them in the first place. But no, it was triptan after triptan from her, and I’m glad not to have been in her care for as many years now as I… haven’t. I’d really like that to continue.

That’s all I can think of to update this with right now so I suppose I’ll update with more when I think of more!
