Hi Cam,
Here I go again:
Does Topamax raise Lactic acid levels, causing muscle and joint pain?
Reason I ask my joints in my hands, especially my fingers are really achey, like arthritis I'd imagine to feel like, many of the "older" people in my family have arthritis and say maybe I am starting to get it, I do get bouts of scleritis on my eyes sometimes which is a form of arthritis, the opthamologist says most people with arthritis can get scleriitis because the sclera is made up of the same tissue and is prone to the same thing.
Next question Does Topamax change the ph of the saliva, which would contribute to the gum bleeding the drug mongraphs mention? I fortunately haven't experienced that "yet" but was interested because I do have to pay extra special attention to oral hygeine due to the drying some of the meds I take and "my age", ha!ha! and excessive talking when I am in a "happy" mood, when I am "down", naturally I refrain from talking and socializing except here. When you have a chance please let me know your view on these questions. Other than that, how are you and the family doing? Can you please send us an Albert Clipper down this way to cool things down a bit?
Take care,
"darkeyes"
