Hey, Rosie... just wondering what instruments you played? I played piano and cello. And a tenor recorder... now I haven't played in months, but I aim to
try. I played a teeny bit on piano about a month ago, though... and boy, that was so hard. My fingers didn't want to move, and my piece sounded horrid, but hey- it was more than I had done in 3 months, and so I was proud.
(when I told my physical therapist, he said to not fuss because it sounded blah, just remember that I wouldn't have done that a month before. So, that's what I have to try and do, just remember where I came from with the RSD, not what I could have done a year before, without RSD). It is hard, because I could play fairly well, and I played piano for 5 1/2 years. I had only played cello 8 months.
Anywho... are Topomax and Lyrica both anti-epileptics?
I think I'm seeing some benefit from Neurontin, so for the time being I'm staying on it.
Thanks.
How are you doing today, Rosie?
