I am sorry your head aches are still coming and going. I agree with donna that you should call your doctor and give him an update etc.

I had 3 appointments last week. It's just too much for me, but I'm going to have to put myself through the same hell next week, too.
It's not just the appointments... I still have cleaning to do, and have to get to the grocery store and laundromat every week, and there are always other errands that need to be done...

I'm not doing s*** today, but can't shake the feeling that there's something I have to do/somewhere I have to go...

I have a preexisting appointment with my neurologist on Friday, and I will tell him about the concussion, so no worries.

My mood has been on the low side. Part of it is I'm so f***ing tired, but the 400mg of gabapentin I've been taking was too much for me when I saw my pdoc a month ago, and I'm sure it still is. She said the concussion I had could be contributing to my low mood. She did lower the gabapentin to 300mg. Hopefully that helps.

I started the South Beach Diet on Wednesday, and have already started to lose weight

I am glad that you see your neuro guy on friday!

Good luck with South Beach, Kay.

When I went from 400 to 300 gabapentin I felt awful for a day -- like I was doing a withdrawal.Weird.


I send lots of good thoughts for your head recovery.

I reduced the dose of gabapentin from 400 to 300mg on Friday and was fine- until yesterday when I started experiencing a sharp increase in my anxiety, and started having catastrophic thinking, and some changes in thinking in general... It's kinda scary how fast that happened.

I don't want to deal with this misery at all, and don't want things to turn into something even uglier, so I think I will have to go back up to 400mg again even if it means my mood will be on the low side. I'm going to call and leave a message for my pdoc today to see what she says.

I'm going to be miserable until I get these symptoms under control because I can't take more than 1mg of Klonopin and drive, and I have to be out of the house every day but Thursday. I don't particularly like to be around people when I'm feeling like this....
And this was already going to be a very tough week without this psych s***.

I have PT this morning, and will tell them that it is my last session.

The diet is going very well. I'm past the point where I'm really craving the sugar and carbs, and I feel well because my body has adjusted to the dietary changes. I have Corey on a diet, but he's really not doing the South Beach Diet, and he's still drinking. Yesterday he was already ready to throw in the towel! He will probably lose some weight, but not much, unless he starts driving through McDonald's every other day again.

I hope that you PT went well.


Continued good luck on the South Beach Diet.

I went back to taking 400mg of gabapentin last night, but I feel worse this morning... now it's an anxiety BOMB

I made things worse for myself by texting my sister last night about her withholding all of the family pictures and my half of my mother's jewelry from me for over 20yrs. For some reason this has become very important to me again recently, and has been weighing on me. She's an a**hole, so she said a lot of things that bothered me, but the worst of it was, "I know that your memory and perceptions are not what they once were." I said I would not respond to that BULL S***. She says that I feel like she's my enemy and I think she's out to get me (LOL), or at least that's what she wants to turn this issue into. Anyway, I got nowhere... for now.

I have an appointment for a mani/pedi at noon. I have to go because the polish on my thumb is chipped, and I can't get this kind of s*** off myself. I have no idea how I'm going to be "normal" for 2 hours, aside from trying to be as quiet as possible.

I may have to break my rule about not taking more than 1mg of Klonopin and driving. because after taking it, I'm still soooo f***ing miserable
