explodingcat left for CVS. he's going to try to pick up his Singulair prescription and also get my naproxen.

i found some darvocet, so that will help. part of this headache is neck tension, part is jaw, and part is sinus, so i also took some pseudoephedrine. and i have a bottle of coke, so the caffeine will help a little, too.

of course, i'm starting my period, so coke is *not* a good thing, but i'll survive. the cramps are starting to rumble, so i'll be doubly thankful for the naproxen.

in other news, i'm really ticked off at the insurance company. last thursday, boy went to the doctor to talk about his blood sugar issues, his fatigue, and to ask for a leukotreine inhibitor (asthma med type--he's severely allergic to dogs and my parents have two). The doc took tests, talked about what boy's doing activity-wise, and gave him a Singulair prescription. Boy tried to pick up his 'script on Friday. no go. The insurance company is now (as of two weeks ago) requiring a pre-auth for this type of asthma med. AFAIK, we had no warning. Since it was Friday, MAMSI said it would take *three days* to approve. The doc and boy *both* called to try to expedite things, as Singulair works best after it's been in one's system for at least a few days.

I'm just livid that an insurance company would do this to an ASTHMA medication. I'm on another leukotreine inhibitor and I received no letter about anything of this sort, which would be the norm. I'll have to make sure to remember to try to refill it a week ahead, to prevent being off of it at all.

I'm also prone to sugar crashes, which is one reason I don't eat the stuff often. (You guys are a bad influence. ;) )

I take naps almost every day. I just can't function otherwise.

Do you actually sleep, or just enter a half-conscious daze? I've never been able to truly sleep during the day.

Sleep. Usually for 20-30 minutes; longer if I'm really bushed (today's nap was almost an hour because I slept so little last night). But I've always been able to cat-nap. Not everyone can.
