[TMIC] Lots to chat about
I've been checking in to see what's going on too! I had my annual neuro appt last week and have to say he sure is interested in the amount of pain I deal with. Last year my Neuro gave me samples of Lyrica that I never took due to various posts from others and the cost that I will incur if I can't get samples. So this is the route he would like me to take: 1. replace my 2400mg of daily gabapenton with 75mg twice daily 2. increase 60mg Cymbalta to 90mg for 2 weeks, then to 120mg daily 3. increase Baclofen from 10mg every 6 hours to to every 4 to 5 hrs 4. Take 5mg Valium if needed on a rare basis I know this is a lot of changes, however, I'm going to do them one step at a time. I decided to take the plunge and try the Lyrica immediately. Literally! My Neuro assured me again that I could switch from the gabapentin to the Lyrica without any effects so I did it that evening and the change went fine. I had a slight headache for about 1/2 hour for the first 3 doses and that was the only side effect. I just went thru the big weather change from 90 degrees to a 50 degree with rain and tolerated it better than I could have imagined. I'm not out of pain, but I'm not ready to cut my leg off either. I have taken the Baclofen often than at 6 hours twice and it helps to know that I can take them as soon as my back muscles start to spasm. That is a big relief. Now, specifically for those of you who take CymbaltaIs ther a time of day to take it that works better for you? I asked my Neuro if it mattered and his answer was not unless it keeps you awake. I don't have trouble falling asleep, just staying asleep. I wonder if the Cymbalta is the culprit. My Neuro also wrote me an RX for a walker so I can walk distances without the muscle spasms. I paid attention to the questions and answers recently so I think I have that covered. Does anyone have any suggestions or comments on my news? Patti - Michigan
[TMIC] A blissful weekend story
I have something to chat about. I had the wonderful priviledge of meeting Heather as in Heather, from Calgery, Alberta, Canada, this weekend. I'm still living on the adrenilin rush and am almost jumping up and down in my seat as I tell this. It was so nice to hug her, sit beside her, and talk and share and laugh about all we have been thru during our 4 years with TM. She's just as nice in person as she is on the TMIC and on the TM Forum. She's younger in person than in the pictures we exchanged because she has the warmest smile and a most infectious laugh. Remember when Heather tried to unsubscribe two weeks ago? She and her hubby flew from Calgary to Ontario, Canada, to spend time with their families and that visit put her within a few hours drive of my home in Michigan. My husband and I drove to Ontario to meet them and it was a drive worth taking! I'll let Heather tell you what she said to her husband when I was walking toward the door. It says a lot for what it was like to meet each other. Well, that's my chat info for the day. Patti - mid Michigan
Re: [TMIC] A blissful weekend story
Patti, It is nice to read your e-mail about meeting someone else with TM. I met with 2 ladies that live in the Atlanta area last Saturday and we had the best time! So to everyone on the list that hasn't ever met anyone else with TM in person. It is worth it!
