I finally broke down and called the neuro regarding my leg/back spasms and heat related issues. They referred me to the nurse practitioner (grrr...) and she called.

She said that since I have problems on muscle relaxants (I stop breathing in my sleep while on them), she can't prescribe them. So she upped my gabapentin...she says it helps with spasms (if it helps so much, then why am I suffering from them so while I'm ON the stupid drug? of course I didn't say this, being the good girl my mom raised me to be).

Then I brought up my heat issues...excessive sweating on minor movement, weakness in heat after only a short time...
here's what she said...
"Well, we can't do anything about the weather now, can we?...giggle, giggle"

Wow, I am so glad I called for assistance.
