I am on a handful of drugs and I have been for months since stroke and I expect that someone is watching over what I am taking. I just found out yesterday that I am taking some that interact together from the pharmacist. I have been taking it for a while he said and he siad that he had called the doctor. He was informing me and putting it in my hands. My hands don't know what to do. I said should I stop them and he said no just talk to the doc and ask him to run for interaction on my drugs. So there seems to be an App for this! Could I do it? I didn't think to ask. I am also between doc and don't have an appt until later so this has to wait.

I have so many drug side effects as it is. I hate the one that is that my hands will do this kind of jerk thing just slightly but they seem to drop not shake but I worry that is next. One of the drug interaction symptoms is leg pains are you kidding me I have leg pains. Ok I have nerve pain going on but I have aches and pains too. I mostly hate the grogfog and how I can just nod in public so awful. I don't wonder that I don't just pass out in a coma with the handful that list drowsiness on the label. I am so sedated that when I feel stress I wonder what it really is on the Richter scale.

I go to class and I need to wean down to think so I cut down in the day but I still need at night. I hope that in the new doc place that I can go to pain clinic and get some new ideas like biofeedback or other things that are kinda woowoo but may help. I read that when the nerves are overstimulated with pain that they get used to that and so they fire up pain more again. some kind of loop. I wonder if I got that right but I think so but anyway I read that and thought maybe it worth a little try. I am surely desperate now but as long as insurance is game for it I will try it. But not acupuncture as I am terrified of needles as long as chop sticks.

I walk more now because I have my shiny new red walker. I put a bit of decoration on it to personalize it. I would like to have some snazzy hubs on it but not too crafty today. I need some more ribbons on it though gotta shop. Anyway back to topic.....I walk more so I get more swollen at end of day despite them telling me that it should help swelling so I must get do to do something about this swelling. It is sandal time here again and I want some manicured feet out of these shoes.

I am walking the campus alone now which is something I couldn't do before. It was scary at first but I am doing it. I am planning to get on a shuttle bus alone and travel alone in a couple of weeks. I feel ready and if I need help I can ask someone. I am pretty good but slow now. My vision is still poorly but I am getting accustomed to. So I hope that it will come together with some new med evaluations to keep me safe in health but not dull my mind to living. I also notice pain is lower lately if fluctuates so I hope that is a good sign. I also notice that sometimes I get a weakening in my leg when I walk or stand, It is just for a second and weird. Physical therapist said that it is my brain losing track of where my leg is for a second. it feels like it is going to give out so it scares me. But so far is hasn't so therapist said it wasn't something to worry about and that it was good practice for the brain when I walk.

I will take it as good news.

I look forward to the new doc world and hope it offers me some hope.
