After much fighting with the wheel brakes on the stroller – we did it. Walked to the playground, a quick play, walked around in a field, and back home. Just a quick jaunt, but seeing as I have not walked for the sake of you know, WALKING in forever, I started with a short trip.
You have to understand I was all cracked out on Topamax. That shit made me feet tingle and want to go-go-go. I would sometimes walk just to try to shake the numbness off. Now – I am not feeling it. No tingles = good, but now I am quite lethargic, somewhat dizzy and just ick. I didn't know what to expect by getting moving and going. I was a bit spaced out. Although I am pretty braindead much of the day – until its time to take more drugs. That's how I know it's the meds causing it. GAH.
I wish there were something, anything! out there that would keep me from flopping like a fish WITHOUT effecting other brain functions. I cannot even begin to imagine what it is like for severe epileptics taking many meds at super high levels, here I am on three pills a day, saying, "Huh?"
Iam so sorry you are feeling so icky on the meds…It does take time to find just the right meds and doseages..I wonder with the bypass how much more difficult it is with the malabsorption? Hmmm…
Our DD has been on the meds for 27yrs. We always balance having some seizures in exchange for her NOT being zonked out…Take care hun…
Thank you Gail!
