I thought to myself, (sheesh, I can still think...) since I am weaning off the Neurontin maybe I'll try and not take any meds at all and see if I can tolerate it...
But, then I wonder if this could cause spread!
Has anyone tried Topomax?
To med or not to med...that is the question 
Cold turkey or brain fog??

Dear H4tB -
Short of agressive therapies (and BTW Dr. Richeiner has applied to USC for permission to do ketamine infusions there - following Dr. Schwartzman's protocals - and USC always takes insurance) I don't think that much of what we do effects the march of the Big Brain Fog.
Sure didn't with me, and I hit it with almost everything I could, although I sure wish Cal. law would have allowed RUL ECT for CRPS; I had an in-patient treatment using ketamine as the general anesthetic all lined up before the higher ups in the psychiatry dept. put the kibosh on it. Current Dx: organic brain damage 310.1
And looking at Schwartzman's article, I figure either we get it (in various degrees) or we don't.

C'est la garre.
