Title: Any ideas ?
Post by Jackie on Oct 4^th, 2004, 11:23am

Roxy/Tracey is still in Florida working 12 hour days 7 days a weeks.

Here's the problem......Relpax has quit working for her and so has the 02. She got hit 7 times Saturday night.

Has anyone had Relpax and/or 02 stop working for them? Were you able to get them 'going' again and if so how?

I suggested she find a doctor in Florida but that could take weeks and she may be moved to New Orleans soon.

I'm completely lost on this one......Rox could really use any help or ideas at this point.

Thanks,

Any chance she could hit an ER and get something short term that she know would help? Atleast until they go to New Orleans.
Somebody from that neck of the wood could be looking for a good(?) doc.. Soo that her lead time for help is as short as possible.
Medical records,insurance info etc. Could all be shifted around so that it preceeds her.

Just a thought YMMV

Good idea Kirk.

I'm not sure if a referral from me will help with my (local) neuro. Most times you are asked to get on a list before they will see you as a new patient. I can call and will beg if required.

I would not hesitate to recommend my doc. She's good.

Call me Tracey if I can help in any way.

Jacks,
Idont know much, but that has happened to me. If the relpax gives up the ghost, move on to another ...frova,maxhalt,trex.... Ive never had one abortive work more than four or five times the beast seems to always find a way around. Hope that helps

I had Relpax AND o2 stop working for me.

I finally got o2 helping again by laying off of it for several months and then going inpatient for DHE IV for a few days. Now the o2 works for me again.

Relpax....I'm off of it for a few months and using Frova, but have yet to have to use Frova because of the success with the DHE IV treatments, but will go back to Relpax in a few months after laying off of it as well.

I have no advice but can say that the DHE IV every 8 hours works real well to sort of "reset" everything.

good luck
renee

Check your IMs

If she calls her Doc back home he could call something in for her.
