Ok..so which Med do I take??

Jul 09, 2009 09:44AM - 2 comments

I'm still quite overwhelmed by what has been going on, especially with my sx. I'm quite frankly wishing I was more than a number! I have an appt to speak with a counselor on July 17th but today all the same stuff that happened a week ago has happen again today. I had ben feeling a little better but still no use in left hand & still dragging L leg. I was giggling with my daughter on the phone & about 30 min after hanging up I was trying to make my way through the house the BAM... the dizziness, felt like motion sickness, burning tingling feeling, & then the nausea hit. My head has hurt for the last 9 days, I feel like I'm in quick sand trying to move, so I guess even though I was in a pretty good mood the so-called anxiety & conversion disorder hit again (umm-hmmm yea right). Hubby called the DRs. office only to find it closed @ noon today, then called the on-call DR, who promptly prescribed me tramadol & phenergan. I started the Celexa yesterday in in BOLD letters on the Rx info it plainly says do not take with Tramadol???? Mabey their trying to kill me to get me out of their hair! I feel like I'm drowning here & no-one seems to care. I'm trying not to get discouraged but WOW....enough is enough! Please keep praying for me , only God seems to care at this point! So now which med do I take??Celexa that I don't really need or something that might ease my aching head(although it hasn't in the past). I'm sorry if I'm coming off sarcastic but is there a DR. out there that also not only has medical knowledge but common sense! Is there one somewhere that cares & has compassion? I guess I just haven't found them yet. The E/R Dr says I had seen too many Drs & that makes them scared to treat me....well what happened to 2nd opinions...or being your own advocate. Drs. are human also & can mess up just like anyone else! I just don't know at this point! I'm gonna just try to let it be for a while & calm down although the humiliation of this whole saga is a little harder to get over.

You might want to enter your list of meds on the pharmacist forum here and get their take on the drug interactions.  

http://www.medhelp.org/forum_disclaimers/show/296

is the address and they are wonderful about looking at the lists and giving you the feedback.  Be sure to include all of your drugs - even the OTC's.

I'm sorry you have been so humiliated with this to date - I believe there will come a time when you will be completely cleared of all doubts and they will find the medical reason for your problems.  I just hope that happens soon.

take it easy, Lulu
