Health update
On the downside, I should NOT have drank while on vacation. I didn’t drink a lot — maybe two drinks a day. I messed up my medication routine because I didn’t want to take the medication with alcohol (i.e., didn’t take my third daily dose so I could drink in the evening or took the pill much later in the morning than normal because I slept in). My arms and legs are absolutely killing me and even the slightest fabric touch hurts like my skin is sunburned (it’s not). I have switched neurologists and have an appointment with the head of neurology at a large local medical center on Monday. They doubled my medication right before finals and although the pain lessened some, the tingling and numbness is constant. I’m pretty scared about what this means and hope that I can get some answers and a long-term plan. I barely want to sit here and type because my hands hurt so much. Thanks for listening to my little pity party. Please send positive thoughts that this new neurologist will take me seriously and have some good answers for me.

Consider them sent! I hope this neurologist is tons better than your last one.
And congratulations on the good grade! I continue to stand in awe of your succeeding despite your health challenges.
