Interesting news today from the BBC.

Chemo Makes the Brain Work Harder

Well, gosh darn it!

Why didn't someone ever tell the three neurologists who have treated me for...

um...

memory problems and cognitive problems?

Duh...

I take oral chemo...

DAILY!

Sorry, just in a very pissy mood this morning (it is 2:24 am) BECAUSE i am on the FIFTH treatment for the CNS symptoms from Ms. Lupus...

and every time I have to go in to see Doctors Neurology...

I get treated like an itty bitty bug under a magnifying glass.

Sometimes I just feel like jumping up and down on those cheap plastic chairs they have in the treatment room and scream..

"Hey Morons! I have lupus! DUH."

Phew.

That was cathartic.

Now when I get my butt dragged back to the doctor today (and the chances are very high that I will...

because medication number 5 (an anti-seizure medication) is no longer working...

and I am going to have to be checked out AGAIN to make sure my poor old brain is getting damaged from a stroke or vasculitis or whatever the heck lupus wants to do to make my life more flippin' difficult...

Whatever was I saying?

Oh, a rant.

A rant...yes.

Never mind.
