Thank you Eva,

At this point, my rheumy will try Keppra next when I am ready to try another drug for the RLS or the nerve pain or whatever he is treating. I am currently 14 days post op from my total hysterectomy, so he is letting me set the pace. He did give me a script for Tramadol as a rescue medication.

My neuro is really concerned that my body builds a tolerance to the migraine preventives so quickly. In a year and a half, I have been increased to 300mg Topamax and now 90mg Cymbalta. He is really interested in the next brain MRI this coming February/March. This last one was a waste, the gabapentin the rheumy had me on had my body jerking and was could not be read. He is still monitoring me for MS.

Sometimes, I find it hard to accept my reality and wish for my old self.

Gentle hugs to everone.
