Jim noticed with the one from the VA he has to make sure he eats or drinks milk more so than the one from the local pharmacy. Weird.

We're going to hang in there and see what happens. Jim's doc wont take him off Sinemet unless Jim agrees to it. There isn't much left out there to try you know?
Yes I do know....

Hope you are feeling better soon. I was on Lyrica for sometime, the only side effect I had was swelling in feet, and caused my BP to stay up around 152/101. When I stopped taking it, my BP came back down. It did work really well, haven't found anything better.

I hope that nasty head cold goes away soon...
Remedy from back in the 30's
2 tsp honey
1/4 cup of whiskey
1tsp of baking soda
2 tsp of lemon
1 asprin
Mix until all is dissolved...
Guaranteed to cure or wish you were pushin daises...
Drink first thing in the morning...my dad still uses this when he gets a cold...it is very nasty tasting, but it seems to help him a lot.

Thanks!

I am feeling a little better, the cold is getting better...at least my head isn't trying to explode!

I found that I cannot take the lyrica during the day. double vision and very very drowsy. So I can only take it at night.

Have no idea if it's affecting my BP as my BP is very low anyway. So I doubt it will be a problem.

My dad always used to say "honey, whiskey, and lemon juice. Throw the honey and lemon juice away and drink the whiskey. It'll cure what ails you."



I'm thinking, Twiffy, that even IF FG saw TWO hamburgers that she's still only eat part of one.

I figured it out Cheryl! I talked to the pharmacist last night. It was more than likely the Singular making him sleepy and dizzy during the day and the Sinemet keeping him awake at night. We switched the Singular to night time and the Sinemet to morning and 5pm. He's back!! For now. lol

Glad your cold is getting better! Maybe once it goes away you will feel better ms wise. Sorry you can't take the Lyrica during the day but understand big time after watching Jim sleep the entire day yesterday. He left me alone with the MIL!!!!!!! I almost left him there. lol

I take singular only at night for that very reason!

Still very stuffed up but I feel better, not so achy. My legs are still very weak and I can't walk very far. Stiff and feel bruised but my body isn't all achy like I was earlier in the week.

I hope Jim gets better and gets some sleep.
