Pain clinic

Submitted by shaz on Thu, 08/07/2010 - 13:41

Yesterday I went to the pain clinic/palliative care doctor. Seems he wasn't the sort of doc who did tai chi/meditation stuff. Just prescibed stuff so I'm back on the Gabapentin which is probably ok because last night i spent a ridiculous amount of time contemplating the word "ow" and how stranhee it is and other words that sprung to mind.

Well I visited the guinea pig clinic on thursday, not much to tell most likely there won't ever be much to tell, but that's a good thing when you're on a trial, it's better than having to write about horrid side effects etc.

I have now been on the trial for two weeks, I went for my two weekly check up today, just a blood test and urine sample, no neurologist check up, two neuros do those standard tests that most of us would have when we visit the neurologist, eye test, walking test, the finger test to your nose, run heel down shin etc., none of that today, was in and out very quickly.

Well this is the second trial I have taken part in, I have been going through the screening process for the past few weeks, which in my case has included blood tests and a cat scan and the usual MS tests they give you, I was accepted into the trial today and was given the pills, three months worth for now.
