The block absolutely would have caused throat discomfort but should have worn off after a few days at most. (I think this is one of the signs along with the eye droop that it worked. The doc that did the block didn't know this???) I also remember experiencing acid reflux an hour two after my procedures--usually in the car ride home. Eating something small helped calm my empty stomach, but it had to be soft due to my throat. It usually took me a full week to feel all the effects of the anesthesia clear from my body. Lots of water, massage, and rest are what you need to plan for the week following a block...and not much else. They warn you not to drive for 24 hrs, but I often wasn't safe for 3-4. There are some people that have them weekly for long periods of time, and they must not react so strongly to them.

Blood in your stool can be very serious. You need an urgent doc appointment.

I guess I didn't state myself clearly! Lol that has been happening a LOT lately....
anywho I a;ready went to my PCP who ordered an occult and lab work up for stool issue. The other symptoms I couldn't find info! Very frustrating. I eventually found a site..can't remember where now, that said that reflux/gerd can be cause by Lyrica. It is RARE when it does but hey that's just par for course right?
It seems all the "Rare" things are happening with me lately!!

Generally ehow articles are junk, but this one is spot on.

And it reminded me about the talking issue! It's been years since I had one done.

Is your throat still bothering you, btw?

The other issue I just want to mention, is your should only be introducing 1 med at a time. 2 weeks would be a bare minimum to test the effects of a new med, and 4 is definitely preferred.

A contract for scheduled narcotics is the norm. It may even be required by your state, county, and/or city. Urine testing and pill counts are some of the only options that can be used to monitor those that are taking their meds as directed. It's a good thing IMO. It also provides a record for you. Often pharmacists (at least the good ones) know the meds better the docs, and will catch issues with your scripts.

oh I know. The contracts are there for a reason....just seems over the top for us people who use them how they're supposed to be and not abusing or selling them. No my throat is ok,. it came and went for about 4-5 days but didn't actually hurt just sounded like I had laryngitis or something.



Right now....taking the darn prometheizne...not doing crap for me. Still vomiting........pulse rate 110-120 normally a steady 80-85....called pharmacy said tt doctor...doctor not it tt nurse.......she says no appts go to urgent care or e.r. good lord.....seriously.....I don't feel well or right.....have to finish work though.......fml
