Eleven. Most of which are MS related at least. But I also have two other diagnosed diseases and another they are trying to diagnose. I am trying to convince my doctor to wean me off of Gabapentin because I don't think it's helping anymore, but he wont even think about that until my next clinic visit. He says he thinks that's probably a good idea, just not until he sees me next

Jim was on 50+ a day when he was on Gabapentin. He's now down to 29 a day as of this week because he's weening off Zanax and Tizanadine. By next week he should be down to 27 and then we'll start weening Baclofen. That should bring him down to 23 a day. Makes no sense to stay on meds that don't work.
BTW, Danrolene is still working very well. He's on three a day, 25mgs each. We may have to tweak the dose as he's coming off the other drugs, but for now, mj and Dantrolene are working very well together.

I was counting all supplements, too, as my neuro has me on some to prevent UTIs and I'm on one to prevent statin damage...
Sandy, glad to hear the new drug is helping!!

I take one LDN capsule. I've given up trying to get my stomach to agree to vitamins and/or supplements. I try to eat well...

I counted 26 but it could be more since I take Vitamin D & Niacin. It's hard to keep track. I also take more or less depending on how I feel each day.

I only take 4 - 1 Celexa, 3 Neurontin. Oh wait - I take a multivitamin (kids chewable as I can't swallow adult ones) every other day. The kids chewable, believe or not, has the same daily values as what a woman my age needs.
My neuro really wants me on an antispasmodic but I just don't want to get in to the medicine game - you know, take this pill which will help you symptoms but causes this side effect so you have to take this pill to counteract the side effects of pill #1 but pill #2 causes this side effect so you have to take pill #3, etc., etc. So basically, I just deal. Sometimes the spasticity gets out of hand an I'll take an Ativan (that's all I have on hand) and that seems to help some. |
