Wow...what a difference a day makes!

I can't believe how much better I feel today!  Those Amantadine have changed everything!!!  I wish it would take the pain out of my hip but such is life!  I am wondering though, for anyone that has used this drug, how long have you or were you on it?  I have 2 refills so I should be good for 3 months but is that the limit for it?  I am normally totally exhausted by 1/2 hour after I get out of bed but I have had no problem at all today.

Now...it could be just that I am having a good day but I hope that these meds are really helping because I don't know where to turn next.  For now, I am thankful that I had a full day with only a few yawns and no couch time!

Lots of Hugs,
Rena

It is so great to hear you reporting good things, like a great new neurologist who is willing to say, "Hogwash" to the stupid opinions of your other doctors.

I don't know that there is a time limit on the amantadine.  Many times a doc won't give many refills on a new med until they see how it is working.  I say enjoy it!

Many [[[hugs]]]
