d'oh

Bonus fun with fibro meds: I locked my keys in the car. Keys in the ignition. Car still running. From 8 until 5. There's a reason they call neurontin 'morontin' on CrazyMeds.com.

So, uh. Does anybody know where to find good information on the 'other' Dark Angel characters? IE, the transgenics who aren't Alec and Max?

You've probably used this link but it's where I've used in the past.

My husband used to take neurontin for his chronic back pain, and the forgetfulness got so bad that I begged him to talk to the doctor about it. The doctor switched him to Lyrica (it is chemically like neurontin after it is metabolized by your body - but without the brain-fart part - according to the doctor), and that seemed to help. I don't know if that is an option for you or not. It is damnably expensive.

Babe? I hate to tell you this, but I'm not on fibro meds. I did this once. While the child was in dance class. Only not only did I leave the keys in the ignition, and the car running, but I FORGOT TO LOCK THE DOORS!!! Gods only know why my car didn't get stolen.

D'oh!! I mean, the car running?? Why would they even manufacture a car where that's possible? But maybe that's the case with any model where the keys can get locked in at all? Anyway, don't feel too bad - people lock their keys in all the time sober and unmedicated...

Heh, my friend takes something called Tradolan, which even medical staff apparently refer to as "tralala" - tralala being our word for "lalala", like happy silly humming. :)

there are other transgenics?

Other transgenics? Does that mean we have to watch Season One? (I'm such a bad fangirl. I love Dark Angel for a few characters like Alec and Cindy... but I never could bring myself to watch all of season one.) Um, I tried to wiki it for you but wiki apparently sucks. I know there's resources out there. There have to be!

*uses google-fu*

Okay so here's a more useful wiki page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dark_Angel_characters

... and my google-fu fails. Most of the links I could find weren't working or were written by a twelve year old "Dark Angle RULZ!" Dark Angle? Really? That's awesome.

Ahh, sweetie.

I feel your pain.


When I first started Topomax (aka Dopomax) I completely lost any directional sense.

I would get in the car, start driving, and then not remember how to get to the grocery store. I'd have to drive around in circles until my muscle-memory kicked in.

It was like an Alzheimer's preview.

Maybe someone's been secretly dosing me with neurontin!

That must have sucked purely from a financial standpoint, stupid fuel :/

Thank you! I love that site.

I'm back on Lyrica as of this morning. \o/

*laughs* Somebody must be looking out for you! Thank you, love, I appreciate it and I feel better now.

Oh, your icon! I want to squish it. Have I mentioned my sister-in-law's 12 step program level obsession with Snoopy? Wooddstock is my favorite.

It's one of the few Dark Angel sites I've still got in favourites. It's great for silly details I never thought I needed, although since I stopped writing I probably won't need it for that again.


Hugs.

*g* Let me tell you I nearly gave myself a heart attack with that one.

Btw... in my search to put together your bracelet, I've found several stones reputed to help with fibromyalgia. :)

There is a lot of stuff in the "Eye's Only Dossier" Mostly about the X5Rs (Which is what Alec is.)but still. If you didn't want to buy it or can't find it I can try and give you a hand with my copy.

No tthat you know me from Eve, but still.

Oooh hello kindred spirit! I adoooore Woodstock! And at the risk of freaking out Peanuts-lovers everywhere, I ship Snoopy/Woodstock, or as I like to call it, Snoopstock! Because isn't it obvious that Snoopy and Woodstock are soo in lurrrve??
The one little piece of writing of mine that has ever seen the light of internet is no less than Snoopstock schmoop (a little embarrassing considering my tastes in reading, I might add)! And I have a few items of H&M Snoopy underwear, etc etc...

I DID THAT ONCE! Before cell phones. Outside my high school. While I was in high school. (All I needed was for then-current crush to show and humiliation would have been complete; fortunately I was crushing on a guy in WI at the time.) And I wasn't even medicated. ADD is fun. Thank the gods for AAA and ritalin.
