Any way i wanted to make sure you didn't get the grief I did ,when it truly was a medical error ,drugs can have weird interactions that aren't commonly seen .

Thanks for sharing!
Sorry that happened to you.
this is what I wrote to my pdoc:
Dr. Orazio,
Just wanted to update you...knowing that you won't get this message until monday.
I am feeling much better, thank goodness.
I appreciate your patience with me.
I am better, less disorganized getting things done so that is good.
Unfortunately I am having side effects from the zyprexa
I am noticing some neuro involvement in my hands., fine motor skills.
Occasionally,, My fingers are falling off of the keys when I type.
Hopefully this goes away in time, or doesn't get worse.....
My mother in law is off the ventilator and doing better, so that is good.
Not sure when Jeff is coming home, either sunday or tuesday.
Walked on the tred mill today so that is good. got some bills done.
Elizabeth
I am not taking anything for gerd.
I also stopped taking my supplements in case they were interferring with tegretol absorption.
