Oh my.

But don't nobody be fooled; this "three day conference" is a euphemism for something else.

The neurontin didn't work out

Last week I was at a 3 day long conference. And the neurontin I had been taking was giving me nasty side effects.I walked into the room and a few people asked me if I was OK. I told them I was.

I didn't know it but I was walking around like I was drunk or something. I had been dizzy for a week or two I had gotten used to being dizzy and it had been intensifying apparently.

So when I saw my therapist the next week she noticed I was moving funny too. I couldn't keep my eyes from twitching and moving too.. As I got up to leave I ran into her door frame,bounced off, caught myself,ended up ping ponging down the hallway.

My therapist said the neurontin was obviously not working for me,so she got me some cymbalta samples,since med assistance refuses to pay for it,and it's an ongoing battle.

The difference between the side effects of neurontin and cymbalta are profound. I am a bit more tired than usual,but not as beat as I was taking the neurontin, the dizziness and eyeball twitching stuff has stopped too.

Cymbalta and the neurontin both are to help the neuropathy in my back,that's why it was prescribed.

And cymbalta works on the pain a little better than the neurontin did.I was actually able to sleep on my right side for awhile!! It has been months I've been sleeping on my left side only.It feels good to be able to rest in different positions.

I hope they can keep me afloat with samples.

The always-encouraging Doug's ex-wife:

2. That's exactly what happened to Doug on Neurontin.

I'm so happy you straightened that out!

Don't nobody be fooled; "Doug on Neurontin" = "Doug's ex-wife on Nuerontin."

Oh, it'll be worse than that.

I've seen it.

Before I went to the socialist paradises of the workers and peasants with free medical care for all, I had read a book about a British nurse who had been with the armies of the tsar 1914-1917, in which she described how, because of rampant corruption that got pharmaceuticals "lost," pain from wounds and amputations was relieved by occasional Orthodox monks using.....hypnotism.

Wow, I thought.

I however never dreamed that I myself would see such things during the last half of the last decade of the twentieth century, and in Europe.

If any of 0bama's nonsense gets through, I suspect the subway cat's going to be seeing a hypnotist on a regular basis, because there won't be any drugs, period, not even cheap ones.

Rationing is a terrible thing. All those medical companies will stop spending billions on discovering new medicines because there won't be any incentive. The new meds would be much more expensive and would never get approval by the rationers.

I hear there is a new psoriasis pill. interesting, but govt will make us stay with DermaRest I guess and that pill would never be produced.

How many cures will not happen??

I have a feeling Catnip has heard this question many times, though it had nothing to do with any medication she was taking.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government.

it would not take a psych major more than 5 seconds to know the woman/cat is screwy. Now those who are professionals and get paid by the hour would need years to make a judgement
