Newly diagnosed but going insane!!

My body is so sensitive to meds i stopped taking everything except what my neuro told me to take while i wait for my xray results to come back for my migraines:topamax..now i get the tingling hands and feet stumbling (like i dont already) more dopey feeling and occasional black out feelings im graduated to the 50 mg this week (2nd week) im havin the shooting pains in my arms sharp excruciating stabbing and also feet. achy joints, itchy foot soles, rls, water makes myskin burn in the shower, ringing in ear, blurry vision, seeing things in the corner of my eyes like someones there or soemthings moving, i have dyslexia, i drop things, cant open bottles no grip in hands, just feel like im losing my body.. slipping away, i forget names numbers where my kids are..if im cooking i burn things.. not good, i fall alot, my ankles are weak i get sharp pains behind my ankles both legs stops me from walking for an hour or so sometimes days till it stops. also my wrists. it feels like someone kicked me in the crotch.. like deep within my bone thats the only way i can explain the achy dull pain. when my period comes omg.. i cant even walk my hips and legs wont move. i want to die. its so horrible. my pcp was just giving me vicodins and naproxyns but those made me constipated and i already had the ibs issues. ive been on cymbala celebrex fiorcet zoloft elavil sinament carbomol. they all make me sick i vomit every day and prolosec isnt helping that issue at all. i switched to an old doctor who sent me to a neuro who knew exactly what was wrong by asking me the questions and doing the trigget points on me.. they sent me to physical therapy i was supposed to go 3 times a week.. the first day the lady moved me so much i couldnt move for 3 days.. i also found out i cant stand on one leg.. my balance is screwed. I tried to talk to my doc and explain to her that i cant understand when she tells me alot of things at once because i wont remember any of it and she told me i was depressed and needed to see a psych doc because all my problems are mentally based. Umm well im depressed because i have 3 kids to take care of and i cant remember their names or where they are!! So i went back to my old family doc who at least would talk to me at a pace i could deal with and read or tried to read what i wrote for him lol now im just taking excedrin migraine and extra strength tylenol total of maybe 1800 mg a day btw the 2 until i can find a doctor whos experienced in my area and can prescribe something for sensitive people. Also im trying to find a disability lawyer i appealed already a denial from last year. im going to peek at some of the info on the board i just joined today im glad i found this site.

Hi Chrissie and welcome to our fibro family, as Robin said we have a great group here who really do understand and care about what you are going through. I am so sorry you are having it so rough right now. I have major sensitivities to oral pain meds also. Just can't take them. I use fentanyl patches to control my pain. They say to change them every 3 days but I make mine last at least a week.

I hope they can find something that helps you soon. Also good luck with the fight for Social Security Disability. Usually with Social Security the lawyer will only get paid when you win the case and they take a percentage of what you are awarded.

Glad to have you here and always feel free to ask question, vent if you need too, or offer advice to others. Hope to hear from you soon.

Gentle Hugs
Shirley
