All In A Day, Okay Maybe Two

The day before yesterday I was not feeling good. I don't know, something wasn't right. I decided to go and fill the Rx's the new Dr. Y gave me. Lidocaine Cream and Divalproex. I tried the Lidocaine right when I got home. I did just as the pharmacist instructed, rub it on the areas that are in pain to numb it. I opened it and it was like Vaseline. I took some and rubbed it all over my face, and then my hair kept sticking to it, it just turned into a huge mess. Now I have to tell you that I requested this stuff. I read it on the TN Support website that someone tried it and it work for them. It did not work for me, not unless I wanted to turn into a human fly-trap. The next rx the Divalproex when I picked it up was told it was just like the Tegratol and the Nirotin. That makes sense.

Anyways, I started calling hospitals on the west coast that have Trigeminal Neuralgia Departments. The Mayo Clinic had no openings, but I got registered. Then I called UCLA and also got registered with them. I need to send them all of my records and then they will call me if they can do anything. I called US San Diego, registered with them and need to have the neurologist send a referral. Finally I called the Skull Base Institute. They were very nice and if I can get all of my information to them they have consults next week! They even do phone consults or Skype. I find this strange in case he would want to look at my eye that skips, or hear my every increasing heartbeat or the most important feel where the pain is. That all sounded strange to me along with the $950 price tag. I called all of the neurologists (Dr.L-G in DE and Dr. T & Dr Y). This sounds easier that it really is.

Basically I've felt like crap lately. I'm not sure if it's the other new pill or not. I'm sooo tired and my face is painful. If I move a certain way and too much weight is on it, it screams in pain. I don't want to talk, move, smile, chew, brush my teeth or be nice. I just don't! I had a horrible dream last night, which is common with some of these drugs. but I don't like it.
