> At least now you know you aren't out of your mind! Its a real SE. Its amazing how doctors can look at you like you're crazy just because something is new to them. They have to learn about things sometime – they don't just pop out of medical school "all knowing". But yet I think a whole lot of people have gotten the old "oh, no, it couldn't be connected to that" brush off, or worse, that disbelieving look that tells you they think you're nuts. I think they have to put up a front because if everybody really knew how much they were winging it, nobody would listen to them!<<
I have an appointment with the neuro a couple of days after I get home from here... going to run it all by him and make him listen... should be interesting experience trying to make him listen.. but shall give that a shot... and then the eye guy next..these people have to get together I think and work things out for my benefit... here I have been so concerned about the SEs of Topomax and there are all these SEs with Tegretol and they sound just as scary... I feel like a walking mine field...and if I stop taking either let alone both all the mines blow up!
