Heather,

Thank you for being so open about the treatment you have received and or are receiving. It helps a lot as knowledge is power to some degree.

Some of the meds you are taking I am familiar with, but there are two I know nothing about and was hoping you could explain them to me (ie., what they do/their specific purpose).
1. Topamax (I know it can be used, sometimes, for migrains and as a mood stabilzer...)

2. Roxicodone (it sounds, obviously, like a narcotic pain reliever?). I take a low dose of Hyrdocodone. Is it stronger than that (so I hope)?

Thank you, and everyone, for being so kind and open in sharing your experiences. From what I have experienced, just until recently, this disease can be not only painful, but very isolating. At times, it's hard to say which is worse, the pain, or the emotions attached to it and all the surrounding circumstances.
