Or that it will turn out to be nothing (I know it sound wrong to wish it to be something, but when you are just waiting for symptoms so they can make a full Dx you want things to be something.

DRUG LIST

Migraine
1) Amitriptyline- 10mg tablet (6 at night)
2) Topamax- 100mg tablet (1 at night)
3) Magnesium- 500mg (1 at night)
4) Nerve Block (Occipital Nerve)- 9/11/09

Allergies/Asthma
1) Benadryl- 25mg caps (1-2 caps as needed.)
2) Singulair- 10mg tablet (1 at night)

Period Regulation
1) Solia- (Desogestrel 0.15mg, Ethinyl Estradiol 0.03mg) tab (1 at night)

High Blood Sugar (Important to note doc insists it is not diabetes)
1) Metformin- 500mg tablet (2 tabs- 2x a day- before breakfast & dinner, if >140 take 1, if >180 take 2.)

Irritable Bowel Syndrome/Acid Reflux
1) Florajen 3- 460mg caps (2-4 caps a day)
2) Flagyl- 250mg tablet (3 tabs a day)
3) Miralax- 1tsp daily
4) Protonix- 40mg tablet (1 tab a day, as needed)

Peripheral Neuropathy/Auto-Immune Disease
1) Gabapentin- 600mg tablet (5x a day)
2) Lyrica- 100mg caps (1 cap. 3x a day)
3) Baclofen- 10mg tablet (2 tabs. 3x a day)
4) Methotrexate- 2.5mg tablet (8 tabs per week)
5) Folic Acid- 1mg tablet (1 tab a day)
6) Vitamin D3- 1000IU tablet (1 tab daily)
7) Vitamin B12- 1000mcg tablet (1 tab daily)
flagyl can be nasty on the body, ...with the need of period regulation and BS issues...i would presume you have PCOS?..the D3 mrs D recommends the "oily" kind, which would be in capsules; perhaps a larger dose? Vit B12, on a totally empty stomache, and perhaps a larger dose, at least in the short term....was this new weakness shortly after your weekly methotrexate dose?
are you getting enough calcium?
good luck
