Thank goodness, I can finally brush my teeth and chew my food. Still some discomfort, but overall things are much better.

Side effects have increased, but so far I'm dealing with it. (Nice to have the holiday weekend to test things.)

Going to work as usual tomorow, we'll see how that goes. I have to schedule some blood work with my family doctor too.

Hey Dan,
Glad to know you're feeling better. Chewing is such a luxury that people take for such granted!!!!! LOL Sometimes the side effects will go away. Topamax causing numbness and tingling in the hands, but it has decreased a lot in me. So, you do get used to the side effects a lot.

Good luck at work tomorrow.
