Test Results

Talked to the doctor today and got the results. All tests including the MRI came back normal. YAY!!! Dr. office had me scared because they said he had to see me today to discuss. So, just primary generalized Dystonia in all 4 limbs now. Going on a new medicine and go from there. I was told today that if it gets worse, ...I am a candidate for DBS (Deep Brain Stimulator). We'll try this medicine first. 

So now I am on Gabapentin (Neurontin). Started Sat night with one 300 mg tab. I do that for a week, then go to 2x a day for a week, then 3x a day for another week, then add a 2nd tab to the evening time for a week, etc. until I'm at 2 tabs (600mg) x 3 times a day (total of 1800mg a day) We'll see if my system will tolerate this one.
