Day 4-5 Lyrica, gluten intolerance, plus Danzig

First of all, Danzig was amazing. I wore my nun costume and some drunk girl told me she loved me 3 or 4 times and wanted me to be beside her in the VIP section, which just wasn't possible. Another drunk told me to check out Slaughtered Priests and their song, "Bestial Nun Sluts". He was convinced I'd love them, haven't checked yet, but still find that amusing.

I didn't have any energy shots left like I thought I did, so getting ready for the show was trying, and I only had chance to down a protein shake before leaving, so by the time the show was over I was HOOOOOOOOONGRY. Now, hungry for a diabetic is different for others. When we don't have enough carbs-glucose in the blood, our heads go cuckoo, and there's the shakes and whatnot. I can be a real nonsensical bitch. So, the first chance to eat we stopped and I had onion rings, and then an irresistable piece of texas toast. Until last night, it'd been so long since I ate white bread, I don't remember when I did. I knew the breading for the onions had wheat flour in it too...but I was hungry and weak. And, besides that, I really needed to test my gluten intolerance. Immediately, a new headache appeared in my head and I started getting the sniffles. Later, I had intestinal distress I won't describe. So, I've figured that I may not have celiac disease, leastways, I may never be tested for it...but I KNOW definitely that there's intolerance that acts like an allergy.

As far as Lyrica goes...the sleepiness seems to have dissipated. Which is great. Whether or not it's helping my pain levels is up in the air. I'm having terrible joint pain all over my body. Could have something to do with the change in the weather...but it's weird and annoying. I guess I'll keep taking the Lyrica at least until my 2 weeks update with the rheumatologist and see if I feel any different.
