Tonight’s blog is taking my desire to lose weight in a definite direction, not by assumption, but by facts as stated below. Not only do all these prescribed medications cause weight gain, but a few cause higher glucose levels in some, and stomach disorders in others, as well as sinus and thyroid problems…Here’s a question to any of you, is the feel good simulated sedation of an ill better than the ill itself?
Oh, the testing results numbers may make you wonder why I think they affected me in that way, when some percentages are so low…well, on the two medications that were administered to me by injection in the hospital back in 1983 that nearly killed me, I later found out in a PDR book, Physician’s Desk Reference that ONLY 1% were affected as I was by Stadol and Talwin that both are in the opiate family that were injected into me by medical personnel in a hospital setting while I was in neck and lower back traction, basically at their mercy. Thus me not wanting narcotics of any type, even given by pain doctors, but into my neck this time!
The last medication is my newest the generic of Singulair and so far at three weeks yesterday nothing has changed, my nose still runs and I sneeze and have by any and all means still have all my symptoms, nothing has changed, but the doctor said it could take a month and next Wednesday it will be just that, but I don’t give it much hope, since I still have congestion and still have had to use my Simply Saline too! Plus the fact that my other medicine is causing this reaction and I don’t suppose anything will help!

Today was my neuro
appointment and I told her my desire to accomplish a decent weight loss, and
that I have been going to the gym since April 9, 2013. By now I would think I
would have some more significant weight loss, wouldn’t you? I have been doing three
days a week since May and only missed three days.
She was amazingly
quite receptive to my interest in trying to lessen my dosages on two of her
prescribed medications, Baclofen and Gabapentin, the generic of Neurontin. And Dr.
Mellor even wrote out the twos step down processes, but felt I should do them separately
to see which was causing the bigger problem. The only thing is that especially the
Gabapentin has to be done over a three week period. And this is to make sure I
don’t have any adverse reactions, such as severe spasms, which is why I was put
on it in the first place. My Baclofen is also for spasms and I have been on it
for nearly seven years in different milligrams and I have been known to play
with it over the years and that is why I felt it would go second and the
Gabapentin was the most recent introduced anti-spasmodic.
Tonight, is my
first night of cutting back on the Gabapentin from my 1800MG. to 1200MG. I took
my dinner time one out and now for the rest of the week I will have one in the
morning and one at bedtime, sounds logical to me.
I was also told if
I become worse to halt the reducing process, and of course I will; a no brainer
in my mind.
I have heard
horror stories of people coming off of Gabapentin having seizures so I will
surely be cautious.
So that is my
story for this evening… I will keep you in my loop and posted as how it is all
working.
I can only hope
for the best with this first step.
On that note of
new hope, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good
night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share them with you
know who and we will too!
And next time
please be here or be square, ya hear!
PS last night’s
fish pictorial was due to a rushed blog with thunder and lightning scaring me
terribly! This PC is in the sunroom and last night it was the RAIN THUNDER AND
LIGHTENING ROOM! FORGIVE?
