Phillipa,
I'm so sorry you are feeling so poorly. I do know a bit about theophylline. I used to have to give it to my son for asthma. It made him a bit hyper and his mood was all over the place. For instance, he cried because his hand got wet when he touched the car door. He was about 7 at the time! This was WAY out of character for him.
I'm sorry I don't know about how high a dose this is but I do know it can make you jittery. Sorry!
Hugs,
MidnightBlue
> Sara, Thanks for your support and concern. My taste left a year ago last April. I saw the first specialist at the Wake Forrest Medical Center in Winston Salem NC. His tx recommendation was the same. But it seemed like voodo to me. I live in NC near the Beach. But this Dr. Henkin is supposed to be the worlds first and best. Google him at Washington DC Taste and Smell Clinic and you'll see all his sites. He's mean and ugly and I was ready to go home. But he's associated with Georgetown university. This is such a specialty there are only 4 I believe in whole USA. Other lab values were my vita D was low so he said take a supplement. No he didn't repeat the ANA but I had a lot of medical records from lymes specialist who tx'd my chronic lymes, and MRI's of brain, sinuses, neck which I brought with me. I'm waiting to see what Ed says about how the theophylline will affect my depression/anxiety as i trust him the best. Fondly, Phillipa
