~Hi, my name is Courtney. I was a full time college student, starting to be a dancer, and used to work with kids part time, living on my own until my illness disabled me.
~I became sick in 2005. I created this blog in the summer of 2006 to record my "headache" diary and to see if anyone finds it interesting.
~12/2006 I lost my job then after, failed a year of college.

more tests

Got some basic blood work done, turns out my Vitamin D levels are down. Anyways, I went in today to see the doctor and she ordered food allergy tests, a stool test for signs of bacteria in my stomach, and a celiac test. Gonna get my blood drawn this weekend.
Got a new RX for nortiptyline and singulair. And another referral to the neurologist, yay!

ALSO: the bedbug issue was a bit crazy, had to get a stupid RX just to relieve the itching. They are gone now, finally! still getting my apartment back in order :/
and I got a wonderful sinus infection in the middle of all that! steroids and antibiotics kicked that.
