I have been on the 7mg but that is as high as they have gotten me. They

don't like me being on so much Tylenol, you can have Maximum of 4,000 mg of

Tylenol. If I took all my medications for 1 day, I would be over by 250mg of

Tylenol. My Midrin has Tylenol, the Percocet. My pain nurse practioner put

me on straight tramadol 50 mg but I think I am allergic to it. I end up with

swollen eye lids the next morning.

i have had MRI's both for my head and my neck.

They found arthritis in my neck.

Now I get injections in my upper back and neck for that.

That would bother me and unless he has something to say, he shouldn't be

saying anything.

Mine wouldn't say anything like that, though the one neurologist I saw down

in the southern part of the state would put his hand on my knee. Like he was

that comfortable with me. Okay

> I also will be seeing a sleep disorder clinic!

> Does anyone have any expience with this?

I have. They check for sleep apnea, if you don't have that, that night. Then

they have you the next day most of the day. They let you sleep for 15

minutes and then wake you up. And every hour they do that. They just found

out that I was " sleepy " during the day and I was like, I could have told you

that.

Thanks for the book title.

Hope you get to feeling better,
