It's really irritating me right now, probably because I went upstairs to talk to my dad, and all of a sudden my mother is screaming at me for no reason. (she's got a few...problems...herself. I was talking to my dad about my new computer chair, and something about that conversation set my mom off...no idea what it was)

I went downstairs to get away from the yelling, and now the grill my leg is cooking on feels like it's been set on "nuclear fire". I know thinking about the burning can make it worse, but it's kind of difficult to ignore.

I have some Amitriptyline from the insomnia I had over the summer (the Ami quit working as a sleep med a month or two ago) I seem to remember my regular doctor telling me it's good for neurological pain sometimes. I just dont know if I want to start taking it again because of all the weird side effects it was causing me.

I called the neuro about this today, but he never called back.

I guess I'll go upstairs and see if I get verbally attacked again for wanting to return my new computer chair (it's uncomfortable, but that could be because of the wacky/burning leg sensations)
