Some actual good news for a change: I'm no longer diabetic! https://dleejackson.lbjackson.com/2018/04/beating-diabetes/

I would still need an EEG to prove that it's functioning,

This doesn't bode well. My sales since the CDs came back in stock have been ... wait for it ... one. I've got a hundred of the damned things sitting in my bedroom. I might be stuck with them. The only hope I've got is a pending tie-in with Jon St. John. He's going to be giving away free CDs that he'll be autographing at his convention appearances. For those who don't get a signed CD, he'll have special square business cards with the Calibrations cover art on the front and the CD Baby link to buy it on the back. I ordered them from Vistaprint. They'll be arriving Wednesday, I hope.

I am officially a migraine patient. Damn. Hello, mlooney, you're not alone anymore. The CT scan definitively proved that I have a brain, and that there's nothing visibly wrong with it. My doctor is keeping me on the rizatriptan for whenever a hand grenade goes off in my left hemisphere. He's also ramping up my Topamax dosage over the next 10 days from 200mg to 400mg. He warned me that it might make me more dopey (i.e., might make me "lose more words"). I start by taking 200mg in the morning and 100mg at night for 10 days, then switch to 200mg twice a day. Just what I needed when I'm in the middle of a project. My anxiety level is going through the roof.

BTW, the CD is finally back in stock at CD Baby! https://dleejackson.lbjackson.com/2018/04/calibrations-cds-back-in-stock/

I'd do that if I followed the community. As is, such an attempt might be viewed as too blatant, I fear.

As scheduled, my personal stock of 100 Calibrations CDs arrived here on Friday. Now, all I'm waiting for is CD Baby to receive their stock so they can go selling again. I'm probably going to have to pay to boost my Facebook post on the matter so that word spreads as far as possible.

Had to take the rizatriptan headache medicine today. That's my third dose. Knocked me out for most of the day. This has been a wasted week. Between headaches and bugs in my music software, I haven't been able to get jack (censored) done. Tomorrow is tech support hell day. Monday is the day I go in to get a CT scan of my brain to see if anything visible is causing the headaches. I'm guessing it's going to be another mystery with no obvious cause.

Nonexistent, while CD Baby remains out of stock. The latest news on that is that they'll receive their copies on Monday the 16th. I am not happy. Meanwhile, my 100 will arrive on Friday the 13th. I will take care of the CD Baby restocking myself from now on.

He did send it, to the right pharmacy. The pharmacy found it 15 minutes after I called to check on it this morning. It's now ready for pickup.

Verified this morning that the pharmacy never received my headache medicine prescription. Appropriate countermeasures have been taken. We begin launching missiles in five minutes.

I had an unusual occurrence today at the doctor's office. Many times, when you go to the doctor about a problem, the problem doesn't show up when they examine you for it. It's just like taking your car to the dealer for a problem: the car acts perfectly when the dealer looks at it. Well, I had the doctor examine me for my headache problem, and lo and behold, I got hit by a monster while he was in the exam room. He's ordered a CT scan with and without contrast. He also sent a prescription for rizatriptan to my pharmacy, but unfortunately the pharmacy never got the prescription. I just have to pray that I don't get hit by another monster before Mrs. Prof can make it to the pharmacy (when they've got my prescription filled).

I am adding an item to today's appointment with my doctor: massive headaches that feel like a grenade has gone off down inside my skull. They're always on the left-hand side, and they always make me wince and bend my head down. I don't know what he can do for me with all of the other medications I'm on.

I hate my left foot. First it was the infected ingrown toenail on toe #2 (counting left from the big toe). The podiatrist removed the nail and made it so it couldn't grow back. It's not bleeding, but it still looks infected. Next, I broke toe #3. It seems to be healing slowly but surely. Now, some unknown crap is going on with toe #4. It's turned purple and black for absolutely no reason whatsoever, and it hurts. I can't get in to see my doctor until Monday, and I can't see my podiatrist until the 19th. WTF is going on here?
