i was late for work today. but not for the usual reason. I went to the doctor to get my head checked. I was having my daily dose of migraine again. The doctor was unconcerned. Asking me questions absentmindedly. So I told him my theories. I said maybe because my hair weighs a ton. Or maybe because I just got a new pair of glasses. A friend said maybe it’s because I got a terrible bump last June when I hit my head on the stairs. I was sleeping on and off for three consecutive days before I could go out and look for a job again. The doctor wasn’t even a least bit alarmed. He just said that I should take this drug (Avamigran) for the migraine. He even looked it up in a book before he wrote the prescription. I was like, “No way I’m taking that drug without looking it up myself! If the the doctor ain’t sure, how the hell could I be?!”. He didn’t look young so it’s improbable that he just got his license. I don’t care. I don’t trust him. Doesn’t matter that he’s the city hall doctor. I haven’t bought the drug yet. maybe tonight. I’ll have my allergy tablet ready too, just in case of another break out. See, last Friday, I took Tylenol and I bloated. It was weird considering that I’ve been taking Tylenol for 2 years now, I think.(etz said it’s been banned in the
Philippines
—then y d hell r they selling it to me,goddamnit!?!) It must have been the dosage. I’m a little worried coz this headache has been bugging me for 2 weeks now. I hope it goes away. I have more important things to worry about. Besides, getting anything remotely associated to any kind of disease is out of my budget. I can’t get sick this month. Maybe on March.
