Went to the pain doctor today

He was nice, and took my problems seriously. And he put me on 3 new drugs. He says they aren't addictive and have no physical side effects -- hopefully that will be true for me. I was told Tramadol wasn't addictive too, and while it's not like Percocet, if I don't take Tramadol, my brain decides that life is horrible and I hate everything and everyone and I basically lose it. Next month this doctor's going to start tapering me off Tramadol if the new drugs work, so I'm excited at the prospect of being able to easily form coherent sentences and think of words again. Also he's sending me to another doctor for more tests, joy. But that's good, because he's actually trying to figure out what's going on, rather than just drugging me up.

One of the creams is coming in the mail. That is weird to me.
