MDJunction to me

"MDJunction to me is a life saver... when i first was diagnosed with Scheuermann's Disease i wrote a message to a page i found on google, hoping that they could help me.... you'd never know it but that weird feeling (you know that one where it feels like someone actually cares) came over me when i opened my email next day to find that someone on the other side of the world (at the American Medical Library)had read my message while i was sleeping, and there low and behold was the address to MDJunction.... well it is everything to me, i live it breathe it and love it!!!!! I have found many people who are struggling with similar issues banding together to help each other. It is the best place in the world, and i couldn't think of another place to go to meet so many lovely people....

thanks MDJunction

Change in Gabapentin
Apr 23 2008
    Today I went and saw my regular pdoc.  I told him about the manic episode last week and about the adjustment in my Risperadone from 1mg to 2 a day that the other doctor made.  He felt that the risperadone treated my manic episode rather well and maybe the gabapentin wasn't doing it for my manic side.  He then lowered my gabapentin  to 600mg 3 times a day ins 3 instead of 4.  I guess this is a way to see if the gabapentin is actually doing anything for me.  Also he said that the gabapentin kinda sedates me a little, so that could be the reason that I have slept so much since he upped the dosage nearly 3 weeks ago.  So hopefully this combo works a little better.  I want to go back to work soon but I don't want to till my sleeping patterns are a little more stable.  Tomorrow I go to see the new pdoc so I'll see what she says
