I apologize that I was not in the best of moods last couple of days. I have had a total of about 40 hours of sleep in the last month or more. Been sleeping only about 2 hours at any given time. When I try for a nap, I have been lucky to get 45 min. in. The doctor's idea was to double one of my meds and increase another. This did not make me a happy camper as I wanted off all meds! Every time I threaten to quit meds, they counter with hospitalization. Sheesh. I so hate hospitals and doctors.

Now for the next two weeks I am restricted to the house unless I have an escort until my body adjusts to the new increases.

Just really ticks me off that I have to have a babysitter!!!

So much for "progressing nicely"! GRRRRR
 
Been there. Doctors can make anyone nuts. My meds were killing me so I stopped taking them. Not taking them will kill me too but I figure if I'm gonna die anyway, it is my right to choose how I want that to happen. Taking the meds made me get to the point that I couldn't walk or do anything. At least now I can walk and stay active. I stopped going to the Doctor too because all they do is yell at me about taking my meds. hehe
Good luck with your situation and hope it gets better. We all have those cranky days so don't worry about it too much. I think everyone will understand.
:nilly:
 
I will be thinking of ya, I hope that it all evens out soon and your are "making progress" very soon. I will be thinking of you.
 
Every time I stop the meds my wife notices right away. Usually the second day! I guess they do me that much good. I have tried stopping them before but doing so makes me a bit too dangerous not to mention clumsy and unable to talk. Unfortunately my neurons haven't found a way around the scar tissue as of yet but I keep pushing it. Now the doc is talking about adding another addictive drug. Gee thanks doc, just what I need!

I just so hate walking around in a drug stupor most of the time. I don't know which is worse, walking around in a stupor and being semi-functional or being clear- headed and unable to care for myself! Neither option makes me happy. Guess I'm just grumpy!
 
I'd be grumpy too. No one wants to be a pharmacuetical balancing act.
Best of luck healing up!!
BTW, those neurons will find a path. My wife has MS which is a different kind of neuron trouble, but I always believe nature will find a way!
