Guest guest Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Now know butting in on this conversation about spasms but Deb Ducote has a new med for that same thing in her legs and lately not been able to get the digest for some reason. This new med is helping her and they took her neurotin down some and added this new med. You may want to call her but she is having hard day so if call tonight need to do so maybe 8 to 9pm your EST. Okay? Do not think she will mind at all. Donna, hope you get better as this must really be difficult to have to deal with. Hugs JoAnn s momma Re: Somewhere UNDER the Rainbooooooowwwwww Barbara, lol you act insane? no way? purple spike hair and nose ring..lol...going to think I am at lunch with my daughter and her friends. We know your wild side..new orleans and beads...i may have a bad memory but you wanting to toilet paper your drs house and wear camoflage still sticks with me..lol And I believe someone mentioned chickens and talking to them...but could be confusing you with someone else but doubt it...lol. It's you rainbow...so maybe you need to re-evaluate where you are sitting on the side of sanity...lol...or are you dancing yet?...Hugs..GinnyBARBARA TORREY wrote: Okay, gonna fess up here. Tricia has heard me act a bit insane (shhhh, Tricia, don't tell them how much. JoAnn's heard me too). Still I'm thinking it might be kinda fun for me (and I have been pretty bored lately) if I arranged for the docs and the eval team to meet us where we're going for lunch and have them cart you away. Hugs - Barbara (who still has no freakin idea what this rainbow thing is about) Her, Tricia...If you're reading this...I called the clinic like I was supposed to? Well, I get a call back with the nurse asking how I was doing on the levorphanol. I kindly, using my most patient tone of voice, explained that the was the reason I was calling....to see if I was supposed to switch over to it! Good grief. I swear I'm going to start a communication skills group and send all of them an invitation to join. Of course, I'll also let them know what my going rate is for running a group. See you all on Sunday. JoAnn, I'll send off a full write-up of our meeting to you on Monday. Hugs and smooches.

Neurontin is actually sometimes prescribed to help with restless legs syndrome.... You know, that jumpy feeling that we all get in our legs sometimes as we're trying to go to sleep? SInce I'm seeing you on Sunday, I hope that you're be able to tell me then that the new med is helping. He put me on flexeril which I did call the pharmacy and ask about since Im on ultram but he said the dose was so low that he didnt feel the interaction would be significant enough t! o worry about. I had minimal tremors last night, maybe 2-3 small abdominal tremors and a little bit of leg and arm twitches, hopefully this will improve.Unfortunately here in this area waiting 6 weeks or so for an appointment with a neurologist isnt uncommon. I chose this neurologist though because I worked for him for about 2 yrs and trust him over others in the area. I dont feel that right now its imperitive that I see him immediately but Im sure if it becomes a bigger problem my primary and him can work out an earlier date.I have an appt at the end of the month with the pain clinic and I will mention the question my dr has about the neurontin issues then.Cant wait to see you Sunday Barbara!HugsDonna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Okay, so basically I go out for a day (yup, actually left the house not a typo) and y'all go around the bend before I have a chance to catch up. Just have to catch the next padded wagon out, I guess. Gotta keep a low profile about the tp and camoflague.....we haven't ruled that plan out just yet. Last hint on the rainbow thing.....it lives in the craft store; remember I thought it lost it's green. Donna, I hope the flexeril starts to help you more soon. The waiting for the appts does suck, I know but at least it's for a doc your comfortable with. Barb, hope the "closet" session helped.....how much do you charge you anyway? Communication seminar wouldn't help the clinic clan.....think it's more a selective hearing issue; or perhaps they can't stand the double talk that spews out of each other's mouths anymore than we can Ginny, wouldn't worry about Barb committing any of us.....something tells me if we go down, she's comin' with us. Besides, she still lets me roam free in the wild TriciaGinny Barrientos wrote: Barbara, lol you act insane? no way? purple spike hair and nose ring..lol...going to think I am at lunch with my daughter and her friends.
