Hot weather making me feel worse
 

Hello all,

I am currently coping with a massive heat wave in Adelaide at the moment it has been 38 c and above for the last 14 days here and is not going to cool down until next thursday! it is going to be 42 degrees today! :eek: i think it is maling my tn worse! the new medication has stopped making me feel dizzy i feel alot better in that perspective but the neurontin still isn't working properly yet i findwhen i get up in the morning the pain is most severe because it has been so long since the last tablet and then it takes me till early afternoon to feel like they are working!

Tablet times for me
Morning 6.30 am
Lunch 12.00 pm
dinner 7.00 pm

any advice on a better way to get me through the night anyone do you think it would be wise of me just to tkae one more tablet later at night???

I would add a dose right before going to bed like 10 or 11 p.m. or maybe just half a pill even. BEST TO CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR as I am not a doctor or a professional of any kind
when I was able to take meds for my pain I took one right before sleeping.4 times a day 6am, 12 noon 5pm, then last one around 11pm and it was neurontin and it helped till I had to up and up and up it... it no longer was usefull as all the meds eventually became useless for me then they realized
what my problem really was that my nerve was snapped and the plates screwed to close to the area of damage. I live where it gets hot ...Florida and I can not handle when it is below 75 degrees. I do not know how everyone else deals with the cold and snow and blaah. when it is windy or breezy ..cold I wear a fleece "neck wrap" pulled up to my eyes covering my face. if its just windy i use a bandanna... so I cant help with the heat bothering you as we are all different and have different things that bother us. yet we all get the ugly pains. maybe and ice pack would help???
