It's 50 degrees out today and I am sooo hot. Since last week when I went to see Dr. S.D. we discussed or rather requested I be taken off of another medication. He said Tegretol XR. Since I'm at 800mg a day I can go to 600mg of 2 weeks, then go to 200mg again after that. My weekend was so mixed up. On Saturday I woke up at noon, and then that night I forgot to take my medication before bed so I felt as if I slept only a couple of hours. And then again with the dreams about death and someone else's suicide. I looked it up again in my Dictionary of Dreams, it all says the same. Death, Murder and Suicide in dreams are the loss of control or the loss of a situation. That would make since. The doctor informed us that even though I was not taking Tegretol for seizures, coming off of it can cause seizures. WHAT?!?! I tell ya, I don't know what is worse.
With this new pain, I just ache in my limbs. I hate it! UCLA called this morning about my new referral. I have to call on Thursday to get make the appointment with the different doctor. I called and cancelled the other appointment and hotel reservations. On Friday I let our neighbor girl know that I didn't need her on those dates to watch the kitty. What a hassle, Blaahhh!
I have my appt with my Pain Specialists this week. I'm going to ask him for a different medication, other than the Lortab. That is very hard on my stomach, but I want something also to help get me through the withdrawal if there is any.
