I figured, It's been a while since I posted one of these, so maybe I should post one. Plus, I'm having trouble sleeping, and maybe this will help me go to sleep.
We left off on day 16.
(16) Someone or something you definitely could live without.
I guess the things one could really live without are bullshit, drama, etc, etc. I think that the more realistic things I could really live without are headaches and migraines.
I get them alot.
When I was in sixth or seventh grade, I started to get really bad headaches. I never told my mom until the day it hurt to even open my eyes because the light peeking in through my bedroom's blinds would make my head hurt even more. I went to the doctor... and apparently when you have really bad headaches like this... the first that they think of is: "oh you might have a tumor in your brain".
Luckily, I didn't (and still don't).
I was told I might need glasses.
I went to the eye doctor, not really digging the fact that I would be a "four eyes" and how acquiring spectacles was going to hurt my street cred. In the end, I needed glasses. I started wearing them, and they fixed my headaches, and everything worked out happily ever after.
No. Not really.
If anything, they made my headaches worse. Granted, the first eye doctor I went to was an idiot who didn't even send out my glasses to be made until like 2 months after my visit. So I didn't have them for like 3 months. Eye sight got worse. Then the second one I went to said I didn't need glasses. So I went a year without glasses and my headaches got to the point where they would make me throw up. And the fourth one I went to made my prescription too strong.
I didn't know this until two years ago when I started going to a new eye doctor and she did all these cool tests including dilating my pupils. For nearly 12 years I was making my headaches worse because I wasn't given the right prescriptions for my eyes.
But even now, with the right prescription, and knowing my eyes are super healthy... I still get headaches. And they're so awful that nine out of ten times I have a headache, I most likely have to sleep it off and not be bothered with anything, because it hurts that bad. The bad thing is, there is no known source to my headaches.
Recently I read that Botox can help with migraines, and it's FDA approved. So maybe, if I feel adventurous one day, I will consider getting botulism injected into my face to get rid of my migraines.

That sucks that so many doctors didn't treat you efficiently and made your headaches worse. I think Botox is weird, but if it helps with the migraines it's worth it!
I used to get migraines in high school all the time, but they weren't anywhere as bad as yours sound. Headaches are the worst. It's so difficult to work through them.
