Sporadic working interventions

Sensory problems in Multiple Sclerosis, numbness, tingling, burning, electric shock sensations, spasms... if asked I would have to check all of the above box.
Once established and knowing the cause doing what should be done to take care of the problem(s) is what is next on the agenda!
Problem solving, a job that most of us are well familiar with in most all businesses, career paths or parenthood alike those muscles have been taught/taut to succeed, ha!
Fixing some problems are done by trial and error, or a way of exactness with well defined perimeters and known results.
So when it comes to medical issues that would mean science is involved so scientifically tried and true methods should be used, although, medicine in treatment is still called "a practice" though science is an exacting form of much substance, hmm?
Thus the conclusion one must draw from that, Geez, I gotta use the term, "assumption" is that it should by all rights work, true?
Especially when it has been proven to work in the past for someone using it for the same or similar use or purpose, true?
Albeit many a chemical product has been utilized for a patient and when not used for some time that person/patient might become immune or allergic to its benefits; also true.
Example me: I have been using according to doctor approved dose of 1200 mg. of Gabapentin daily for above symptoms and yet I must still use ice packs and the medication still takes an hour to kick in for its full but short lived benefits to kick in, the last time this happened with another drug I knew it was time for me and it to part company!
I cannot continue to use anything that fails to work and requires possibly higher doses than I am willing to take...only thing is I now have to wean myself off of something while still dealing with these major sensory problems!
Guess I will have to discuss it once again with my new neuros assistants tomorrow.
Thanks, you have no idea how I love these little chats and how much it helps me, and it is so nice to have someone who really just listens, a great sounding board, so thanks again, truly! HA! Nah.

Moving on...

Rained on and off all day long! So no boating or swimming due to thunder and lightning here; if just rain oh poo, no big deal.
What happened to this my sunshine state? (Kidding; it is our state's rainy season!)
Well, at least no hurricanes in the forecast.
Although, August is the historically busy season for such things, OH NO two days away!
September too has a reputation for nasty weather.
Stay tuned.
Hope everyone stays well prepared and has their plans at the ready!


On that note, allow me to be the very first to wish you all a very happy good night and ask you all to share those blessings and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
