It's been such a crazy week, I forgot to tell you all how my neuro visit went.
My docs new PA is great. She is very good too.
I'd been wanting to try LDN because I'm looking for a silver lining, always. My doc she said, she wouldn't write a script and no local docs would either. It is unsubstantiated and no papers have been published.
I got her to agree to try Namenda. It's a alzheimer med. It starts with a 4 week titration pack. I'll be starting on Sunday. I'm hoping for some relief. I had seen a pain doc in Colorado who had found it had helped a couple of his MS patients. My neuro out there said no.
Is anyone else taking Namenda?
She also refered me to OT to get some help hopefully for my hands. I curl my hands and wrists in as I sleep and wake with much pain and stiffness.
I went yesterday and they made a splint to fit the bottom of my forearm to just below my fingers. It velcros over the top 3 places. I tried it last night and my wrist is better, but my fingers are still sore. It needed padding around my thumb and I found some from my walking cast to try. It helped.
I go back Tuesday. I had a temp OT because my regular one was out this week. He tested my hand and finger strength which was near normal. I'm like, I can do things it just hurts like crazy to touch anything. But it was good to know.
