Default Update

Update ~ I saw my lovely GP today & he has ordered full bloods plus ESR on the off-chance an infection has crept in & is causing the heat, swelling & variations in my temperature over the last 2 days. In addition he has decided that rather than waiting 4 weeks for the PM to start me on Lyrica, he has started it now. I have to start on 150mg twice a day for a few days increasing to 3 times a day then returning in 2 weeks for a check up or before if I'm concerned or things get worse. I am nervous about starting the Lyrica but feel I'm about out of options now.

Oh, I did manage to get through to the Neurosurgeons office today & have an appointment with him on the 17 July. I just hope he lives upto his reputation!

Thanks again for everyone's replies
