Naltrexone?

Naltrexone? Thoughts? Success stories? Horror stories? Please share.

I’m awake at this ungodly hour because my arm is throbbing and it hurts. A week ago or maybe even less a spider, or something bit the back of my arm so now I’m sick and have a nasty sore that hurts. The medication the doctor gave me should start making me feel better soon. I think antibiotics take 48 hours to become effective but I could be wrong. He told me after one day I would begin to feel better but there really is no change yet. The sore will heal and is starting to itch which means it’s starting to heal. I had a low grade fever, chills, nausea, and I was really tired. Normally I’m cranky and “fucking tired” but this time I was REALLY tired. And cranky. Real cranky. It was so hot the last two days but I was sick and couldn’t run around in the sun with my pasty white self and horrify everyone. :( Yesterday it was more humid than usual and of course yours truly received a visit from the headache fairy. Stupid bitch. Thank god it didn’t last very long. Oh! I was getting ready for bed like 7 hours ago and I saw a spider on my comforter so I went to try and kill it and the insane little shit JUMPED on my shoulder. I did the “a spider just jumped 3 feet to attack me dance” and took off all my clothes while running out of the room screaming. I slept on the couch after that fiasco then moved to my mom’s room when my dad left for work but she was annoyed by the fan and it’s hot and I wasn’t about to turn that bad boy off so I’m here now. Maybe I’ll try to sleep and update more later. You’re wonderful if you read this far.

Fireworks are sooo lame. Unless you make really large illegal ones that rattle windows and set off car alarms! And then set them off super late to scare old people!

Only up because I woke up with a sick feeling in my stomach and a pain in my head. Cranberry juice and Advil to fix it. Maybe.

As SOON as I sit down at the computer my door flings open and there is mom …”ARE YOU STILL UP” uhh…sort of? If she sees my up at “this hour” (I’m also 26 years old) even if I just was up for a second or somebody else who I know that is also up sees that I updated t his blog I get the third degree about being up after I said I was so tired and going to bed. I can be up okay guys? It’s okay. I often wake up during the night and poke around the house. Not so much if I’m sleeping over at a friend’s because well that’s just weird. I mean I have …but only to pee, look in the mirror, sit on the toilet and stare into space even though I’m not doing anything, grab a drink, stare into the fridge, and then go back to bed. Don’t you ever sit down at your computer for a second if you wake up and can’t get back to sleep? I DO! ALL THE TIME! Sorry that was a really annoying tangent.

My headaches are frequent lately and severe. This happened before 4 or 5 summers ago when I was living in VA. I think the change in climate (heat, humidity) didn’t agree with my body and that mixed with my refusal to drink water created monster headaches. The pain has nothing to do with drugs so shut up. This has been something that comes and goes often throughout my life. 2 weeks of headaches and then poof gone for 3 years. Possible headache reasons and explanation:

  • I’m going to get my period. (Very possible since I am also crabby as fuck and sweaty for no reason. Okay that is not true. It’s very hot outside however I rarely sweat like this. Besides girls don’t sweat they glow. In this case I am not glowing. I am SWEATING. In the past I have also had a headache 30 to 40% of the time before my friend came to visit.)
  • Lack of water. (Was not drinking enough but 3 days ago started downing a gallon a day. That’s enough right? More? Does grape Gatoraide count?)
  • Heat and/or the actual exposure to the sun.
    (I know heat can cause headaches but I’m not sure on this one because I am not an expert or even very informed on health issues relating to heat and sun exposure)
  • Stress. Very likely however I doubt this is the ONLY reason for the head pains. (I got sick of saying headaches) Stress mixed with my period, lack of water, exposure to the sun, and becoming overheated explains everything!

Okay, I just spent 20 minutes trying to find a photo of Maddox to use for the following.

It’s late and I should sleep. It’s just mom and I and Maddox (the love of my life) is with his trainer for two weeks so I’m missing my snuggle bunny head!

Goodnight! Oh! IF anybody knows why I can’t enter my own HTML by hand please comment.
