Isn’t there like one more injection they need to do to make me better?

I hope something that will help can be found.

Since so many drugs have already been tried, I think I'd be tempted to experiment with other possible solutions--maybe physical therapy, maybe a new rest routine, maybe even diet changes or different ways of spending my time during the day.

Are you getting adequate sleep, for instance? Or does the pain prevent that?

I sleep good every day and rest all day. I got a bad memory because of this and I’m slow and stiff and weak and fatigue. I feel fragile but I’m not in pain. Isn’t there a injection for this to finally get rid of the pain of 17 years once and for all?

I'm confused. When you say:

I'm not clear about whether you have pain or you don't.

Maybe you mean that you have pain but only during your waking hours.

I'm sorry I don't know of a medicine that will help. People here at NeuroTalk aren't medical professionals. I'm afraid you'll need to turn to your doctor(s) because they're the ones who know what to prescribe.

I’m not in pain anymore thanks to the Botox injections and the haloperidol injection but I still feel stiff and have a bad memory and light headed and fragile. I don’t feel 100% still and I haven’t gotten what the next step to recovery is I have been resting since 2006.

Thanks for explaining. Sometimes problems like fatigue and light-headedness have a way of going away, given enough time, but unfortunately the time seems entirely too long.

Keep working at it, and you'll probably hit on some little tweaks in your daily life that will make a difference in the way you feel.

But I'd hesitate to add any new meds without carefully looking into all of the information about them that you can get your hands on.

I’m seeing a neurologist again in a couple of months. I don’t know if I’m getting Botox injections or if there is another way of curing this. Does anyone know what the next step is with the neurologist? My symptoms are fatigue memory loss stiffness dizziness and a feeling of dehydration but it’s not dehydration it makes me feel fragile and weak.
