Title: Update Neuro.... visit
Post by Lost_in_cluster on Nov 15^th, 2006, 11:12am

Hello everyone :'(

Got started on a new sleeping med persey Haldol Dr. wants the sleep wake cycle back on track as do I. I saddly had to take Haldol and Ambien to sleep last night because the pain kept waking me up each time I dosed off. Once asleep I did in deed sleep through the night though. Continue on the Dilaudid for the Pain but only take it if the Imitrex doesn't cut it as to cut down on Pain meds. Verap is now up to 180mg and the Topamax just continues to increase. I got hit in the Neuro office three times once in front of him and he got to see how random they can be. So many want a trigger and I don't always have one. Thank goodness no admission my parents and I feared with the hits the last two days that it might happen.

Hey question for everyone have you ever felt leg cramping/foot sleep after a prednisone taper??? The Dr. told me it was do to Decreased potassium from the prednisone and I hadn't heard anyone say that.

KIm,

Sounds like you are getting some help from your Doc. I am guessing he sees this as a multiple ha problem. Sorry can't help with the preg, but bananas are good for potassium.
