notes 4.12.2006 15:00

i feel like a four cylinder four valve four stroke cafe racer speeding down the interstate...

been to the dr and saw again that i did the right thing for the wrong reason. it may be that my earlier request for a tryptophan load test would have shown a higher level absorbed than normal. that would explain why the stomach is so sensitive, the nerves needing to correctly channel serotonin rather than allow it to freely float to a destination and the feeling of pressure of expanding.

i'm to add some over the counter vitamins and minerals supplementing my diet ... coenzyme q10, alphalipoic acid (antioxident) and fish oil. i'm also to reduce my tryptophan intake.

unfortunately that causes a fiscal imbalance ... the money for health insurance will run out when the insurance itself runs out - 12/31. medicare part d will be a new expense of over $300 not including health coverage. the new supplements aren't covered by the insurance and will run upwards of $50 per month, a week's worth of groceries, a month of rent.

my next visit was supposed to be in two to three weeks, but the only available time was 40 days away. i only got 2 weeks supply of zyprexa, so ...

as i've lived i have faced challenges that have never reached closure. just like an onion grows a skin, an oyster swirls a pearl, but not the terrible crystal of a diamond. no wonder there's so much pressure. these notes are the need to keep that shell open for others to see inside long enough to get the precious contents to safety. i just need to know that someone recognizes this!

on a positive note i'll be referred to a neurologist. the three nerves causing the migraines will be further investigated and hopefully something can be done.
