> Let us know what happens. It does sound interesting alright. If I could get better info than just what 'smart drug' sites put out, I might put more credence in it.
It's going to be a while until I see a neurologist -- I have to see a GP and then get a referral and who knows how long I'll wait after that and then they might not want to add anything to the Trileptal. I know what you mean about the credibility problems with smart drug websites (or any websites, for that matter).
> Your're right benzos don't help pain but I didn't know what else to do to fight the pain. All my muscles were so tight & tense & I wanted to be numb temporarily.
That's a good point: benzos can help with muscle tension, which often results from pain even if the pain isn't musculoskeletal. They're also sedating, which is always rather helpful if you're in pain.
> No way I'll go to the hospital for painkillers. I went once for a migraine & vowed to never go again unless I needed to seriously be admitted.
Oh jeez -- I bet they gave you a hard time when you went for the migraine. Can I ask what happened? (I'll understand if you don't want to discuss it!)
> No, they certainly aren't! I was somehow thinking on-line math.
I haven't investigated it, but I don't think there are any online math courses at the level that I'd need. Anyway, I'm not studying math anymore.
> I agree about not going to school for what you really love. Plants & nature is my big, BIG love & I can't get enough of it.
For some reason I want to go to med school anyway, though! I should probably practice what I preach. :-}
