There's nothing wrong with me probably! The headaches are a normal thing after a concussion, and I might have them for up to another year! Awesome, huh? The weird, on-and-off stabbing pains are likely muscle spasms from the whiplash I didn't even know I have!

... But the doctor admits there's a small chance my brain is leaking blood and other nasty fluids, so I've got to get an MRI. And by small chance, I mean really freaking small. Smaaaaaaall. Still. Fuck.

Edit: And I'm an official hire at GameStop! Just filled out all the paperwork!

Too bad you don't have my constitution. I've lost count of how many times I've cracked my head on something, and yet I am fine!

See, that's the thing! I've hit my head harder and had no problems! I don't know what's going on, here.

You are getting old.

... God, Kendra, don't say that.

Hey, I'm the same age for most of the year.

FREAK COINCIDENCE, THEN. THE . . . WHATEVER IT IS THAT HIT YOUR HEAD WAS OUT TO GET YOU.

Plus at least you don't have serious cramps, tendon and back issues, and potential carpal tunnel like I do.

I'm becoming weak, obviously. But in my Wikipedia webcrawling, i learned that getting a concussion can make it easier for a future concussion! So maybe one of my PREVIOUS head injuries... weakened me? DDDX

I do have serious cramps. They make me want to kill myself. They make me actually take medication! It's very sad.

That's generally the case! My cousin and a kid on my brother's team both got three concussions and had to be banned from hockey because it was too much of a risk.

Ditto that, except my medication does not work! Ever.

Wow, that's excellent news. Except not.

... That sucks.

Well, you don't play hockey! Do you? How many concussions have you had?!

Yup! If I'm lucky and manage to take them the day before, it can cancel them out, but I'm so irregular that my starting day can be off by more than a week. And the drugs are hard on my stomach, so I can't exactly just keep taking them until I start.

I have no idea!

I only get the suicidal urges every few months or so, but man, is it baaaaad.

[halfling-rogue.livejournal.com]

You have no idea how many concussions you've had??

Almost every month for me, since I was thirteen! I sometimes get them even when I'm not on my period. I'm used to it by now.

At least I don't get migraines like my sister does sometimes. They make her throw up. D:
