I have had a great deal more pain in my back and my leg. I am considerably slower at work because my leg is hurting much more now. Soon I won't be doing much movement at all.

I talked to my pdoc today about this (he received my numerous phone calls and emails while he was gone) and he was going to call Walgreens and have them contact my insurance company about this development and see if they would be willing to reauthorize another month's worth of meds, only in the capsules. I have to call Walgreens tomorrow and see what happens.

The lithium has killed off most of my appetite and when I do eat/drink anything, it has this horrible metallic taste to it - which my pdoc says is a side effect of lithium. I am able to swallow the tablets of that, but not the Neurontin.

I've been trying to figure out why my anxiety/stress levels have increased so much and thought it had something to do with the Neurontin, although that isn't what it had been prescribed for. I guess it may have some bearing on it, but not most, according to the pdoc.

At least I'm still trying to figure things out, that's a good sign! lol.

Btw Greg, you are such a sweet person. Thank you for those thoughts..........
