The Season of Hat Hair Is Upon Us
Well, I apologize for my recent lack of posting. After Nano, I got distracted by real life. I’ve been ill, I’ve had a severe migraine, I had to cook gumbo and a cherry chocolate pie (recipes now at The Weekend Chef) for a holiday party, and my cats gave me The Movies computer game as an early Christmas present. 
I ended up having to go to the doctor on Friday about my digestive trouble as my throat was raw from the stomach acid that was doing it’s imitation of a volcano. I woke up choking on the acid Thursday night. So, they’re doing some blood-work and have put me on prevacid. The blood-work is to see if I have some sort of internal bacterial infection. I’m actually hoping that’s what they find because otherwise, I can’t imagine what else could be wrong.
They also put me on a bland-ish diet. I’m not terrible thrilled about that, but I’ve already noticed the difference. No more Italian red sauce foods. 
Then I got one of the worst migraines in a while on Saturday and the migraine medicine I’d been most recently prescribed didn’t do diddly to help. Since I couldn’t mix meds, I had to wait more than 24 hours to take some zomig, which did dent it for a while. I ended up calling in sick on Monday because I was still feeling crappy and I had no clean clothes to wear to work.
Now, my insurance won’t refill the prescribed prescription again until January and I’m not g Tuesday oing to pay $220 for 12 pills so I don’t know what I’m going to do. I left a message on the neurologist’s machine but she never called me back.
I’ve got a growing headache today, which I think might have been triggered by my earmuffs, but I’m not taking anything for it. I’m just hoping it’s going to go away on its own.

That sucks — I hope you reach your neurologist posthaste. What’s the new medication? I’m having the best luck (and fewest side effects) with Relpax.
Now that my hair is long, the hat head is almost unnoticeable. One advantage to wearing it long!
Hang in there and I hope you feel better soon.

It sounds like gastric reflux; I hope they can give you some meds to make it go away!!
