Cheryl, how are you today?

Jim and I are going to talk to his doc about the baclofen pump. We found a presentation on muscle spasms in person's with ms through Kitty's thread and it sounds like the right fit for Jim.

Sinus infection. Started antibiotics today.

I've readjusted the lyrica dose and seem to be doing ok. There is no way I can take this med during the day and function. Between the double vision and the drowsiness, I'd be a danger to anyone around me, let alone myself!!! The pain level seems to tolerable.

I posted something on Kell's thread about the baclofen pump.

Sinus infection! You just need to blow your nose! But not to hard...you will blow all that stuff into the vacant holes of your brain!

Cheryl, how's the sinus infection? I hope by now your feeling better. Jim started an extra dose of Sinemet but we haven't noticed any difference yet. We have hope but honestly the only thing really working is marijuana. Gosh, why can't they just legalize it for medicinal use?

Yes, I have had about a bazillion sinus infections! I am prone to them and always have been! When I saw the ENT doc earlier this year he said that I have had so much sinus bone damage that I will be prone to them! Great....

I am med sensitive...what can I say! I am glad I am getting the dose worked out too b/c I don't like that icky side effect! So far, I've had 3 nights of no hallucinations!!! The double vision and the drowsiness are there but I can deal with that b/c I am taking it at night!

But hey...tylenol 3 makes me drowsy!
