ABSOLUTELY! I really want to change my primary care doctor but every one keeps ranting and raving about what a good doctor he is. He is the one that prescribed those meds. We are putting so much faith in the doctor appointment I have tomorrow with the neurologist. He is supposed to be the senior neurologist. Does anyone have any suggestions on what we should ask? We really want to be prepared.
So far we are going to ask:
1. Does the lisinopril cause Peripheral Neuropathy
2. Did the antiboditics Cipro cause Peripheral Neuropathy
3. What other tests can we do? We have already done Liver blood panel, EMG and a cat scan.
4. what about other drugs like Cymbalta, tramodol.
5. What about the socks with the electric transmitters I see on the internet that is Medicare and FDA approved? Can insurance cover that?
6. Can we change his blood pressure meds from lisinopril to something else?
7. He still has slight skin itching, is that related to Peripheral Neuropathy?
8. Was the staph infection on his skin related to the Peripheral Neuropathy?
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks so much Monika


Thanks Monika

Is his Dr aware of his alcohol intake and still prescribing these meds?

If he doesn't do an 'accidental' OD, his liver will eventually fail.....he does NOT want to go that way!!

Can you get some 'backup' and do an 'intervention' ?

Frantically Praying,
