So many, many times, I just don't feel like talking. It depends completely on how I am feeling at any given time. There are very few people with whom I would want to talk and talk and laugh and laugh for hours, and not notice the hours for the laughing. It can and will energize me bit by bit, even if I am exhausted. That whole 'drained introvert thing' still happens, but the energy levels keep rising. Because of what we are talking about, because of why were are talking, because a lot of things.
But somehow, if I don't feel like talking even if I had just been vivaciously howling with laughter, I often get scolded. You know. Oh, you were just doing that earlier, so why can't you do it now? That kind of retort, the kind that says more about the other people than about me. Sometimes I just run out of everything. Sometimes, gray things happen. That's okay. That's okay, right?

Migraine migraine migraine. Codeine codeine codeine. I'm one of those chronic pain patients who cannot imagine ever abusing a pain drug because, well, pain. It's my pain. I don't necessarily want to have to take a drug like codeine for this kind of pain. I don't want anyone to see me as a drug seeker because my gods no.
But yeah, the drugs may provide some desperate relief - but I never want to need more than I have already.
Migraine plus spasticity plus deep fatigue plus neurological twitching is evil. I had pain in my dreams. Just. No.

Damn it, I still feel like shite. This has become ridiculous. I can barely breathe now. Aargh, life.

DISCLAIMER. WARNING: DISCLAIMER.
If you do not want the flu shot because your immune system is awesome, yay for you. Seriously. Rock on. I will not ever insist that everyone get shots. I learned my lesson last time when people screamed at me so hard I lost my head. (and also now I have that song "Shots" by LMFAO running through my head. "Shots shots shots shots shots shots shots, everybody!" "I hate flu season.") Please do not assume I am jumping on you. If you do not think you need the flu shot, then don't get it. As long as you're not telling me that 'vacciness cause autism!', we're fine (because hi, autistic person here, and that's like saying autism is worse than diphtheria, and have you seen how diphtheria kills people and have you seen how autism doesn't kill people at all?) and I won't say a word. If you don't want to click and read, that's fine too. Just please please please don't jump on me. (Also, if you do wind up getting the flu, I cannot be anywhere near you, because I am an at risk person and I might, like, die.)
And remember, if you do get the flu after you get a shot, just remember that it takes time for your body to build up defenses - it was not the vaccine that caused your flu, but the flu itself because it sneaked in before your body could activate proper antibodies. That is how it works. The flu shot cannot cause the flu. Only the flu can cause the flu. The flu shot does not work against all strains of flu, but it can help against most. Just... be informed. Be properly informed. Okay? Okay?
IN CONCLUSION: DISCLAIMER.
