Well, I have a number of problems, Janelle, if you want to get right down to it. But it's a chicken-egg thing: did the anxiety give me insomnia? did the insomnia give me anxiety? did lack of sleep lead to depression? did depression lead to lack of sleep?
I found PB doing a search for a new drug I was trying, Gabitril, to see if anyone had success on it. But I didn't like it, and others suggested that Serzone might not kill me if it hadn't already, so I reduced my dose but stuck with it.
My husband thinks I am a hypochondriac. Both my dad and my sister are. Unfortunately, hypochondriacs don't usually get that way without reason. I had an unusual reaction to an antibiotic (a relative of Cipro) that made my body ache for two months, and, after one of those months, I got dizziness that never went away. These are things you can't see or do tests to rule in, only rule out.
Anyway, now I've got some GI troubles, possibly an ulcer (endoscopy's for that) from taking so much Ibuprofen, which have kept my aura migraines at bay since October.
Oy vey. I'm going to bed. I'm starving.
