I have been going to doctors for the past 6 months. Everytime I go to a new doctor they find a new problem. It started out with minor back pain for 20 years. Then I found a PCP that sent me to get several tests. I think sometimes we do need to do research about our problems and then ask the doctos to test us. This seems very unfair, but it seems that thi...

I can only comment on my dealing with Topomax. It really screwed my head up. Always had a lightheaded feeling and it also affected my vision.

Sorry it took so long to write back. I am going to see yet another neurologist because the first one was not competent enough for me. I have decided that I am taking more control over my body. I know how I feel, I know I hurt, and I know that my life ( as i knew it) has a good possibility of not returning. It's called looking at it logically. I spoke to a man...
