Default Well, New Meds on Board a While now....

... and its my turn to see NPA....

I forget when I started my new dosing of the Topamax at 200 mg twice daily, however....I seem to have a decrease of the level of daily headache pains to maybe a consistency of 1/10 - I know its there, but thats about it.

I still have at least 1 Grandiose acute headache a week, lastly at a minimum of 24 hours, forcing me to use my Phrenalin (aka Fioricet) at least 3 capsules in that time frame.

All in all, thats an improvement....heh.

Pretty much all else of my symptoms are still present, cognitive things, listlessness, tinnitus, fatigue, etc.

Now.......Part deux....My lawyer has secured an NPA for me; since I have had the Psych eval for SSDI and been approved for SSDI on their exam. The Work Comp aspect is still ongoing.

The NPA is scheduled for 2 May 2013.......the letter says, prepare for at least 2-4 hours of testing, beginning at 9:30 AM - which is before Im due to take my medication - soooo, I have to take extra water, and my meds with me, and take them there, and break for the meds, and wait for effects to hit while testing, and hope I don't fall asleep while testing - ya see, I have this tendency to just drift off, no matter what Im doing without alot of self control within an hour of taking the meds.......should be interesting....usually short, not even a nap, but a nod.

Anyway, Best wishes...

I'll change my sig laters.

Medication update: Topamax 200mg twice daily it seems to minimize daily headaches to a 1-2/10 quality(I still know they are there); and acute headaches erupt without warnings.
