Default Good news, for a change!

Wide-spread joint pain for months and months...

Went to an rheumy, orthopedist, and to PCP again to rule out things; and everyone pretty much assumed the pain was because of my MS treatment Tysabri. I got 3 treatments of IV solu-medrol before treatments and that seemed to help for a few days after.

My PCP put me on an NSAID for arthritis, but it didn't help.

I guess my neuro is sending me to a new rheumy in the city (appt. is Nov. 2nd). In the meantime, she increased my lyrica (now 150mg am, 225mg pm) to see if that helps, and my PCP just gave me a script for 50mg of tramadol 4 times a day. It seems to be helping finally!!!!!!

Also, I ordered a new mattress and it arrives Tuesday. I hope that will reduce the number of times I wake up during the night in pain.
But I'm a little worried because I also see the new MHRN Tuesday at 9:30am. I hope the delivery company can come after I do to the appt. I have to call in the am to see if they can accommodate that.
