Thank you DejaVu so much, it means a lot. Distractions I have. The problems with my hip, groin and surrounding area is getting worse. It kept me awake for a couple of hours before going to sleep last night and greeted me this morning when I awoke. I'm being taken off the Lyrica because it's not helping with the pain. With my Neurologist concentrating on the coming brain scans we didn't talk much about it. I was going to wait after Thursday's scans but if it continues to get worse I will contact her. I'm not on any pain relief.

Sorry to go on and on when you were only wishing me the best.
I really do appreciate it
Phil

Hi Phil
Seems like you're getting the full work-up. Hope all goes smoothly on Thursday and there isn't too long a wait for results.

Take care over there - at least you'll have the RWC coming up to distract you.

Wishing you a good outcome.

Hi Phil,

Please, no apologies needed!
You have an open invitation to express all you wish to express, anytime!
we are all interested in how you are doing!

Glad you are tapering off Lyrica since it's not helping you.
I do hope you find relief soon!

Warmly,
DejaVu

Neurologist got back to me this morning, she is so thorough. She said besides the Brain scans she wanted me to have an ultra sound of my hip and also an MRI of my lower back to find out what's causing the pain in those areas.
She also said she didn't believe the memory problems and the PN were linked and that she believed they were different issues.

She also has ordered another blood test, not sure what this one is for. will be interested to ask when I have it.

Thanks again everyone.

Phil, it sounds to me that your neurologist is doing a great job.

I hope that you get constructive/helpful answers soon.

Hi Phil,

I am relieved you have a very thorough neurologist.
It's so important we are treated with integrity and our health care providers are concerned about every aspect/detail, are responsive and trustworthy.

I believe any of us have a much better chance of doing better when our health care givers are listening, responsive and compassionate.

My best to you and to your wife during this trying time.

Thanks so much DejaVu
Phil
