Yes please post when you can. We will be here either way.
And I too like the fact you have a psychologist you like. Good luck getting in with the next person too. Sorry I don't know the abbreviation. Donna |

MH = Mental Health NP = Nurse Practitioner hence MHNP = Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (i think).  it would make sense since Kay is referring to the person who takes care of her meds. ~ waves ~ |

There are some psychologists who have prescription priveleges...it sounds like yours doesn't so that is why she needs the nurse practioner to write her scripts for her...she would replace a pdoc.
hope you get one soon...glad that you are somewhat better...sorry about the sleeping issues. there are many here who can sympathize with you..lots of folks that have sleep issues. (((((HUGS))))) bizi

I got an appointment with my psychologist's 1st choice MHRN, but it's not until early September. I saw my PCP and he gave me some samples of a prescription NSAID to help with the joint pain. It's helped a little bit, but still needs improvement. So, I called today to ask if I can increase the dose and I'm waiting to hear back. I started a new drug (Ampyra) that's intended to help MS patients with the speed and fluidity of walking. It's knocking me out a little bit, and I'm itchy (no rash yet tho) all over. I really wanted to give this new med a chance to work, but I think I've got an allergy. I have my Tysabri infusion on Weds. and that will knock me out for a few days... So I'm doing okay except for the S.O.S. like $$$, medical & medication issues, and the husband. Anxiety as usual. Tired, but okay. Thanks for asking!  -Kay |

I'm still itchy, but still no rash. I took benedryl last night and it helped with the itching.
I'll see one of the MS RNs tomorrow when I go to Boston for my Tysabri, but I think I'll put a call in today to make sure it's okay to keep taking the med. I'm not doing great with the smoking yet, but I'll keep on trying. -Kay P.S. I'm feeling well enough to start reading and replying to other threads! Last edited by OhKay; 08-17-2010 at 10:02 AM.
