MRI Tuesday. I'm sort of weirdly excited about it. I've never had one, or any sort of scan or EKG or anything more involved than an x-ray, which I've only had once. So I'm intrigued to see what it will be like and what the neurologist gets out of it. I'm going to have to wear pajama pants and a sports bra with my t-shirt though, because all my regular bras are underwire with metal hooks and I don't have any other pants (except for a pair of palazzo pants that are three inches too long) that don't have metal snaps or rivets or buttons or zippers.

I am also finally on medication that will hopefully, eventually, reduce both the frequency and severity of my headaches and my migraines. So far it's not working, but it's been less than a week and I'm on the lowest dose. She said most people with chronic headaches end up needing double what I'm getting. I suppose I understand the concept of not taking more of a drug than you absolutely need, but at the same time, if you know, based on extensive experience with the drug from treating patients with similar conditions, that this dosage is almost certainly too low, why bother with it? I had the same question when I started Wellbutrin. I went back three weeks later and the doctor tripled my Wellbutrin dose. It seems like a waste of time to start so low. But what do I know. I'm not the MD here.
