Good morning all. The neuro doc was yesterday. Yes, he thinks it is nerve related. And I have to get an MRI--as Gomer Pyle would say, SURPRISE SURPRISE, of my brain and my cervical part of my neck--with and without contrast (and I had that insane reaction to that contrast from the CAT scan, itched like mad for a day) Crap, if that is 2 MRIs the copay is going to kill me.
And, he prescribed this medicine (SURPRISE SURPRISE), gabapentin [neurontin] that is an anti-seizure medicine and one that's used for shingles pain and the
common side effects include blurred/double vision, tremors, loss of coordination, unusual eye movements, tiredness, temporary loss of memory, difficulty with speaking, jerky movements, viral infection and the ever-popular side effect, diahrrea, oh and suicidal thoughts or actions. I am overjoyed to be taking something like this.
Anyway, Billy leaves tomorrow to head to TX for his dental surgery on Monday.
So, I guess today will be getting all his stuff together and doing the things we didn't get around to earlier. I do NOT like how I felt taking that drug and I took it towards the end of the day and sort off ought off an anxiety attack from feeling so strange from it. Don't know how it's going to affect me doing normal stuff.
So...have a good Friday, everyone. Can't wait to see how your kitchen looks, Karla!
