First, wonder if anyone's ever posted anything like this before...

Second, would like to report that since coming here - I am soooooo much better. I have my second opinion tomorrow and the first thing I have to tell him is gee - I was in some distress when I made your appointment, but now I am sooooo much better.

However, being bipolar, I had to replace one of my antipsychotics, Geodon, with another golden oldie, respirdol, or something like that. Leg cramping did diminish when the switch was made, 20%, worth the switch, but now I feel a little more depressed than I used to.

So, I decide to go see a dermatologist yesterday and try to get prescription Retin A, as menopause have cause excellerated wrinkling - this thought upped my mood and made me feel happy.

First I tried miniscule dab on hand - nothing happened. I put it on last night in half strength, being super careful - and did note an increase in pn symptions, very mild leg cramping, bit more foot tingling. This has happened before with new things and over time, they just stopped bothering me.

I used to have worse reactions with flaxseeds and flaxseed oil and fish oil capsules. Now I can take flaxseed oil with no addition in symptoms and I can take one large fish oil pill with very little noticeable increase in symptoms.

I just wondered if anyone else noticed nay increased in symptoms from pn from trying Retin A.
