The Medical Roller Coaster Continues

Night and day, the difference between August 25th's rheumatologist appointment, and the ophthalmologist one earlier. All my questions/suggestions were things she was already thinking about. She talks to me as if I have rights, and a brain.

I'm on Lyrica now. I hate drugs that build up in your system, because by the time you know they're harmful, you're already full of the stuff, and it takes days to pass it out. It's an anti-convulsant used for less-than-full-blown epilepsy, so it's a good idea, to quiet down the "current". Like most drugs though, the possible side-effects are the things I'm taking the drug to relieve.
