a doctor’s appointment today
I had a fun day today – first my Mom came for a visit, then I went straight to my doctor’s appointment. This is my neurologist. THEN my dear sister-in-law came over to make dinner for us and watch a little TV.
So let me tell you about the doctor’s appointment. We didn’t change many things around because I just spoke to my primary care physician. PCP wanted to start me on Neurontin — for my back. I am really hoping this helps. So I start tonight, titrating up.
Ok, back to the neurologist’s appointment. We talked about my recent experiences with Imitrex and Zomig. They aren’t helping much, and I’m having side effects nearly every time I use them – nausea (even with anti-nausea meds) and pain in my joints. Weird. I told her it just didn’t feel like it was worth taking them, so I hadn’t been for the past month or so. So she said that it would be ok for me to take Lortab twice weekly (instead of twice monthly). This is fantastic, because I have hours with Lortab where I actually feel NORMAL. And I could do with more of those.
That’s all she wrote.
