Well, back from Pain Clinic - I am doing all the right things, says nurse.
re probs with Clomazepam - she told me I did the right thing in stopping them - caused insomnia, muscle twitching and incontinence plus more...
don't need anti depressants, they are suppose to help neurologically with the shooting pains I was experiencing.
Told her about increase in mtx to 20 mg. Was told to get use to this before I increase the Pregabelin in eve from 150 to 300 mg. Take the 150mg in morn. Same goes for Tramadol Funny how I had worked all this out for myself. The only benefit I have derived from my visit is that she will hurry up the nerve test, get me some more occupational therapy who will in turn give me some better walking aids. Told her that I had been too busy with weddings and art exhibitions to feel the pain. Suffering today though Hands, elbows, knees, hips, well everything just about. So will rest today.
