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.

Hi, Ruben562,

Any doctor should have done some lab work on you if you're having the symptoms you mention. If nothing unusual shows up on the lab tests, then the usual procedure is to move on to other types of tests.

It's important not to be uneasy when you're at the doctor's appointment. If you're too worried, you might be more confused or forgetful than usual, and you want to be alert so as to understand exactly what the doctor says.

Often doctors' offices are giving out an "after-visit summary" for you to take with you, and it should spell out what your test results are and what the doctor has gone over with you.

It sounds as if you're a bit uneasy about seeing the neurologist. I hope you can try to stay calm. Some doctors are huffy and even rude but they can be replaced if you feel that a doctor isn't dealing with your problems adequately. It's you who are hiring that doctor, and if you don't like the treatment you're getting, you can move on.
