Hi Tricia,

I agree with you on the pill organizers. I have 2 of them, weekly ones, my

nurse comes by every 2 wks and fills them up and draws up 2 wks worth of my

long acting Insulin too. This way I only have to handle my short acting Insulin

as I almost put myself in a coma once with the insulin. And have had to call

poison control a couple of other times due to over dosing myself with my

other meds. I take, I think, 28 pills per day, not including pain meds or

allergy stuff when needed. So, no, I don't want to mix my meds up or take too

much

of anything. lol

The Neurontin, I can only take a small dose of it as it caused too much

sleepiness. I only take 600mg 3x's a day and it helps for what I need it for.

Oh RSD I hear is a really bad illness to live with Bless you. Do you take

Requip for the RLS? I use to take that for mine, but I'm not too terribly

bothered by the RLS anymore, after many years of having horrible times with it.

The Requip helped me when I use to take it.

Yes, 2007 MUST be better! I don't want to see worse. lol

Hugs

Tommie

o tommie that insulin pump would be great for u u take your blood sugar

then type it in then type in the carbs and it tells u how much insulin u need

and u either say ok or u can make it less.. but it sure keeps sugars in

control...my husband handles filling it im sure i could never remember howit

holds

enough insulin for 3 or 4 days not to bad

The Baclofen does help the spasms from the RSD. I was taking

Flexeril, but I had been on that for so long that it no longer worked

for me. I can't say if it makes me sleepy because I take so many meds

that make me sleepy, but I have no adverse effects from it.
