Guest guest Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 Hello Connie - Good to hear from you again. I'm taking 2 25 mg Topomax and feel I'm experiencing the constipation problems that Nick is, but so far, I haven't experienced the taste problems, but I do take them just before bedtime, and I can't (well shouldn't) drink sugared drinks because I'm diabetic, but even after Topomax, diet Coke doesn't taste too bad. > PS.... Joe and Nick... the comments you two make have me in tears sometimes laughing so hard, thanks for keeping our spirits up (at least mine). Don't encourage us, Connie, we'll be tasting you next. joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 Hi Connie, I don't think I've read any of your posts since I joined the group in March, but.... I've been around long enough to ask you this question: Are you sure you want to encourage these two? ;^) They can be very, and I mean very naughty at times! I can see a spontaneous road taking shape at this very moment. And need I argue the case any further than Joe's last post. THanks for the laugh! ! > Connie > PS.... Joe and Nick... the comments you two make have me in tears sometimes laughing so hard, thanks for keeping our spirits up (at least mine). For everyone, thanks for the info/help with the questions I had for my friend a while ago, he is just a friend as it turns out, he's too into his computer to want a relationship and *gasp* told me when we were talking about it one day that having a healthy sexual relationship with a partner is not that important to him. That's fine if that's what he wants, what I want to know is where can a girl find a decent guy who will understand that she has back problems but is not dead and wants a healthy sex life and more kids????? LOL *Face beet red from being imbarrassed right now* LOL *Sigh* Oh well what can we do, can't find a fix to our back problems how can I even think there may be an answer to any other questions on life, right? Just have to laugh at it all sometimes it sucks so bad Haha > -- > _______________________________________________ > Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com > http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 Joe, Joe, Joe.... I don't know what to say, you have me in a bit of shock with that one LOL I do think you're WAY Overdue tho!!! LOL I have been curious and through all the posts over the year+ that I've been reading, I seem to have missed most everyones ages.. not trying to be nosy, just curious I guess with how young/old everyone has been when we've been struck down with disabling back/neck/etc problems. I just turned *Choke* 35 in February... as I said, my daughter is 9, will be 10 in May.. I was never married, dated her dad for 12 years then 7years ago decided I didn't want to live with an alcoholic anymore, I couldn't take it. That's my life story LOL Born and still living in sburg (Toledo), Ohio, wishing I could move anywhere warm, the cold here kills my back. Anyhow....As for the Neurontin... I never had the negative side effects of weight gain, etc, I'm wondering if I should have just stuck with that pain med.... or if I will be ok with this one if I take it at bedtime as I was told, I'll have to see how my taste buds are acting in the mornings. It's weird, it's almost like my tongue where I put the pills is numb when I take a drink, that feeling in a way, then again not a numb feeling, just a different taste...it's hard to explain, hopefully someone understands how I mean tho. Oh quick background fyi ( and others) who may not remember me... 2 unsuccessful L5-S1 Surgeries, currently on duragesic patch, percocet and now topamax instead of neurontin ... Pain started Feb of 2000, put off work May 15, 2000, first surgery March 2001, second surgery October 2001 (same disk re-ruptured 2 weeks after first surgery) .... in the Very shortest way I can put it all.... LOL Did go thru the meds, then physical therapy, then injections, etc etc etc Connie -- _______________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 I wasn't chewing on the Topamax.. the taste question is because I just started on Topamax and after I took them, Pepsi and foods, any foods as I'm noticing more and more, are not tasting like they used to, so I was wondering if anyone else had this side effect Thanks!

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 Hi Nick, Ahh well that explains it then Thanks, I'll go make some changes so I make sure I'm posted as 35, every woman loves to tell how much Older she is... LOL jk Also, thanks b/c I forgot I filled out info originally when I signed up and didn't realize I guess that others could view me thru this group And lasty, thank you Very much for the link, otherwise I'd really be lost! hehe Connie Re: Topamax Question Just started... > Hi Connie, > > Actually on your profile it said 34.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 Ok got my part fixed, forgot how my name was in there so I'm glad I had the link from you Nick! LOL Now the question(s) of the day... why are you and Joe hiding, or should I ask what are your hidden identities?? LOL jk I know that's private info, just teasin ya's And no, in case anyone is wondering, I do not have Emerald eyes... I have Hazel... but HazelEyz just doesn't have the same effect LOL Have a great night all, I need to lay down for a bit, back is killing me and can't even enjoy dinner Wonder if we could do that meeting you all were talking about not too long ago and just see about a meeting room with beds instead of chairs so we could really be comfy? Well, at least it was hopefully a funny thought, all those professionals in their suits and sitting in stiff chairs and us in sweats layin on beds in our meeting room " Can the next person please roll their bed up to the board and pinpoint where their pain is without pointing yet again to their surgeon and using the hotels knives? " LOL The best thing about a trip like that besides meeting people who know how each of us feels and sharing useful info is the use of a pool/whirlpool for a couple days, that would be heaven enough for me... outdoor pool in the 80 degree weather would be a plus! I have got to lay down now or else lol ttyl Connie Re: Topamax Question Just started... > Hi Connie, > > Actually on your profile it said 34.
