Pain Doc Agrees

Got a call back from the PAIN DOCTOR

I faxed a list of the meds, and the order they had been rx'ed and how I take them.
They already know this, but to see it all on one sheet of paper..

He said to stop taking the newest medication:  Keppra... well I already started stepping down off of it, cause I had a bad experience when I MISSED the durn pill for 3 days..

My trick of taking a half pill every other day, and then I will be clean by my appt next week.

When they said that my moods and my stuff that is going on now isn't beause of the drugs.. really?

The idea of taking this med instead of increasing one I am already taking?  for neuropathy.

Nothing has worked so far on the hand pain, and to have the neuropathy in my legs get worse was the icing on the cake.

Too bad the shots are not working...

We will discuss WHO I need to see next.

Sometimes I want a real DRUG, but this stuff is just the same as analgesics and anti inflammatory..and they are not working...

Maybe 5 days of IV steroids to break this cycle? 

Brain Scan 1

I didn't know I had to change the batteries!

This was a weirder (I think that is a word) weekend for me in many ways.

I was all over the place mentally, and I guess it finally resembeled something like a "break" .
I was a mess, I was crying, I was writing lists of my lists, I couldn't complete any task, even pouring a cuppa coffee was a challange.

I took my meds in a time frame that was correct, and still had so many strange SX... ones that I I call strange, yet they are familiar but not what I expect to happen when I am taking my meds!

Next stop.. compare the drugs on drug dot com? or the Stress Ward...

Early Christmas Present

Got an early Christmas Present for myself.

Seems that I am always in the zone ..
