Be prepared to sleep a lot again when he ups you to 20mg. Let me know how you are doing?

Miss you

Hey Mary,
I am in AZ., on my sis's laptop I can use it anytime I want too...so I do
We will leave for Oklahoma on the early morning of 5/15/09. I posted an update in the RSD forum.

We are having a great time; however, I was up until 3:00 AM this morning. It may be my late nap during the day; my water pt yesterday..having so much fun in the pool, or the fact that I need to get all my meds worked into the 24 hrs in a day! The last couple days, I saw that I was going to bed too early and skipping my 3rd dose of meds...I was waking up after 4 hrs of sleep in that burning pain to my right leg. I can't skip that last dose of neurontin of the day.

Miss you too
