I have learned in the last few years that when switching meds, especially the addictive ones , may seem a good idea, but always keep the old stuff or some of the old stuff handy , believe me, when you or if, as I have read, you feel "foggy" or ill, you an lways revert to your old meds , until you ask the correct questions, not just to your doctor's, but get the pharmicist involved , after all who else can better tell what meds may be cuasing what and they are easier to reach than the doc's and NP's or their nurses ..

well, the verdict is in , and my meds were changed to suit my needs. seems the nurse for those two day, Martha , just did everything on her own and just bybassing my NP .. Wendy , his nurse yesterday and today talked with Mat, my NP, and he was not happy .. so he immediately called in the correct script and dosage .. i think my aches and pains are just a little more agravated by the cold.
So i am planning to leave my place for sale, but become a dreaded ladnlord .. lol .. hope y'all are doing well .. rest time ...
