We can't stop here! This is BAT COUNTRY!

In my ongoing quest to straighten out a morbidly fucked-up body, my doctor and I are experimenting with various things, including some amphetamines he prescribed yesterday to give me energy and suppress appetite (not that eat much, but I guess the idea was that I would learn how to scale down to carrots and celery full-time).

NO I AIN'T TAKING THAT NO MORE AND YOU CAN'T MAKE ME AIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE

Everything was peachy for about five hours and I was Alerty McWorkistan. Then, the effects wore off and I had a bitch of a headache, horrible stomach gas, wanted to sleep, and ... cold arms!

The hell?

How do people get addicted to this? Or cigarettes? Shit, alcoholism is the only real thing I can get behind. Well, liquor and maybe narcotics.

WHERE'S THE MESCALINE?

Whoa. How much do you trust your doctor? I mean, does he seem okay to you, semi-competent, really competent, etc.?

It's still a fairly new thing. I may end up going to an endocronologist to see if I can get more specialized treatment - it feels like we've been experimenting, doing hit-and-miss so far, and that has some value, but I need things narrowed down SOON.

Good luck. I know how frustrating it can be. It can take a while, but there really are answers out there if you beat the bushes long enough. I really do think a specialist is the way to go. If they strike out, they are probably better able to advise you where to go next, as well.
