No work for me

Well it is official- I am on short term disability (STD- hopefully it's at least one of the exiting ones ;) ) until February 12th- or basically until after I come back from vacation- employee health says that I can't work until all of my new meds are titrated to an appropriate dose and I am no longer having side effects- are they actually serious?! That could take forever! I have not been this frustrated with my headaches or my medications in such a long time- I hate this- I want my life back- is that really so much to ask for?
