Kaola that pic is sooo cute....

twinkle..you bring the forks I will order the cake...hehehee mmmm chocolate...

well fell asleep about 330am....I think

sore today, even more in back, shoulders everywhere kindof....

glad I am off...but to ruin a day off hehehehe

I was suppose to go golfing with hubby...I was in tears last night, when he crawled into bed after his work...3ish am.....telling him...I cant golf due to protecting my wrists.....

I hate this stuff....I hate babying my body to still try to get to work....

anyhow, I called dr...my dr is on vacation till the 5th of August....
the first nurse said, (she didnt know dr was on vacation..as not my dr nurse) that she would put a note on the desk about meds...she seen that we have talked about trying neurontin in past...but was preggo...

then she transfered me to my dr nurse....at first she said dr on vacation...and the first to be seeen by anyone there is with her assistant...next friday...I took it and ew hung up....

hubby was like what about the pain till then...Sarah....

so I called back, realizing the dr wont see that note for long time..about meds....asked for my dr nurse...and mentioned what the other nurse was leaving note on...she said if in that much pain..I could go to ER first...but she also will check with assistant to get an ok on trying neurontin right away...

so got a call back and that is what they prescribed me...anyone taking this..and having any help from it.??? gaining weight??? is the weight gain only due to feeling hungry more..and so if still control how much eating wont gain.....this shouldnt be my first concern..but I am already pudgy and could lose some weight..dont want to gain...

anyhow, I have tried lyrica, and that didnt help the tingling pain or any sxs....hoping for better luck with neurontin...

is neurontin like lyrica...where if not buidling up to an amount you may feel woohooo on..it...I dont like feeling out of it....

what a baby huh...hehehehe

So I see a physicians assistant friday the 1st...day after bday...then I see my pcp sept 25th...she is so booked they tried and couldnt move that up either......anyhow that is where I am thanks all so very much...

I luv you all so much, you are truely the ppl who understand best....
love and hugssss,sarah

Ya know..I think I remember you telling me you lived in Shrewsbury.....I think.....Pretty hard to remember anything when you double your cog fog!!!!



I did the Neurontin.......Then hit the wall...with side effects some kinda severe....But I got up to 600 3x a day......

From what I hear I am in the minority....It is a great medicine that many swear by.......

good luck..
P

Well P...I am back, picked up the meds....and it was 300mg to take three times a day...but only 30 in there...that would only be 10days...but then I see the physicians assistant anyhow before the 10days would be up.

I talked to the pharmasist about if maybe taking it one a day for couple days and build up in case of loopy side effects, she siad I shouldnt have too much loopy side effect...(hmmmmmm) but that if more comfy I could build up like that....so havent decided, I took one, and going to take a short nappy..hugss,sarah

oh then I will see her next friday, hoping this helps the nerve pain...and hoping that the pain in wrist gets better with me babying it...we will see....hugsss,sarah

Hey Sarah, they usually tell you to slowly increase the dosage. When I started on it, I took 300 mg at bedtime for 5 nights, then added another 300 for five mornings, and then added another 300 in midafternoons. I now take 600mg three times per day, but I also slowly increased to that level. Neurontin is generally used for nerve pain; burning and tingling.

Barb, thinking of that, the pharmacist when I asked said no need to..but that If I feel a concern with feeling loopy to increase every few days..starting with one a day...

I took one at 2pm...havent felt funny so far..haha...but anyhow..might either stick to one for few days...or try one more tonight..then do two tomorrow also....then go few days at 2,, then increase to the three in few days...

Anyhow, just hate loopy feeling...so even though pharmacist said I wouldnt feel that way....hmmm I think I might...

thanks for the info...I am drinking lots of water, and making sure I do have protein in my day...someone mentioned the idea of those two helping them be less loopy with this kind of med....cogfog...to whom mentioned it sorry....

but all the ideas are so appreciated....hoping to not gain weight lol..hugsss,sarah
