I have been thinking for a while that some of my headaches might be
related to my diet, but I couldn't figure out why. So, I started
taking a closer look at what I've been eating. I'm the primary cook
at home (we don't eat out much) and my favorite spice has MSG in it.
A few days ago I developed a major like 10+ headache about 15 minutes
after eating dinner. I suspected the msg then, so tonight I cooked
with the same spice (on purpose) and within 15-20 minutes, bam, a
raging headache. I've already taken phenergan and 1 spray of stadol,
along with my klonopin, norgesic, and topamax, so i'll be setting at
the computer asleep in a few minutes. When I finally wake up
tomorrow, I'm cleaning out the spice rack. No more MSG for me.

Another note...beginning to feel funny, the stadol is kicking in, so
I better hurry. I'll be eligible for vision insurance May 1, so I'm
making an appointment to get my eyes checked very soon. Do you know
how funny it would be to have gone through everything I have and find
out it could all be fixed with a stupid pair of contacts (I refuse to
wear glasses).

I had a hard day at work today. It was more busy than usual and I
felt like I couldn't get anything done. The ER was slammed by the
time I got there and I had to weave in and out to get all my stuff
done. I never made it to critical care, a small oversight on my
part...oops, hope they'll forgive me. The operating rooms looked like
a series of tornados had gone through them. It took a big part of my
day to straighten them out. I think birthing was full at one point
today, I know they had a bunch of stuff to pick up. I had to go over
there twice. It was delivery day and the truck showed up earlier than
expected which totally messed up my schedule...how dare him. I'm
officially registered for class now. I am taking Anatomy I and
Computer Literacy in the fall (August). I can't believe they are
making me take a stupid computer class. I probably know more than the
teacher does....oh well, easy A. In the spring (January) I have to
take Anatomy II, which will be cool, we get to disect a cat! Then I
just have to take microbiology in summerschool or fall, and then I'll
enter nursing school. I can't wait to become an RN. Starting to feel
pretty funny and sleepy. Hey, my head stopped hurting. At least I get
a little brake from the pain. Go sleep now.
