ADDITIONAL MEDICATION AND SYMPTOMS

by trueblue06, Jan 05, 2009 05:53PM
I JUST WANT TO SAY FIRST A BIG THANK YOU FOR THIS TRACKER, IT WILL BE SO USEFUL FOR ME!
COULD YOU PLEASE ADD THE FOLLOWING TO THE LIST OF SYMPTOMS WHICH ARE COMMON TO MS
"DOUBLE VISION"
"BURNING PAIN" WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PAIN AND COMMON TO MS

ALSO THERE IS OTHER MEDICATION WHICH IS NOT LISTED THAT I AM SURE THAT OTHERS WITH MS TAKE.AS I LIVE IN AUSTRALIA THE NAMES MAY BE DIFFERENT SO I WILL LIST THE INGREDIENTS OR THE COMMON NAME.

*PANADEINE FORTE*
CONTAINS PANADOL AND CODEINE AVAILABLE ONLY ON  PRESCRIPTION FOR PAIN

*TEGRETOL*
CARBAMAZEPINE PRESCRIPTION ONLY USED FOR NEUROLOGICAL PAIN SUCH AS BURNING PAIN

*NEURONTIN* PRESCRIPTION ONLY AND USED FOR NEUROLOGICAL PAIN, I AM NOT SURE OF THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF THIS DRUG AS AT PRESENT I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO IT.

*ENDEP*  
AMITRIPTYLINE HYDROCHLORIDE PRESCRIPTION ONLY USED FOR NEUROLOGICAL PAIN AND DEPRESSION

*STEMZINE / STEMETIL*
PROCHLORPERAZINE PRESCRIPTION ONLY USED FOR NAUSEA AND VOMITING


THANK YOU IF YOU CAN ADD THESE TO THE TRACKER
THIS WILL HELP ME IMMENSELY KEEP TRACK OF MY SYMPTOMS WHICH I FORGET SO EASILY

Thanks for the suggestions. We'll add carbamazepine (tegretol), codeine phosphate (Panadeine Forte), gabapentin (neurontin), and prochlorperazine (Stemzine) to the MS tracker as treatments. We'll also add double vision, but since burning pain is covered under pain, we'll be leaving this out for now. If you want to track more specific types of pain, please use the Pain Tracker in conjunction with the MS Tracker. In addition, we'll also be adding a category called Anti-depressants, which you can use to track the use of endep.

These changes should be available soon, but we'll post again when they are.

Thanks,
MedHelp
