So, I had an appointment with my Neurologist on Tuesday. He was extremely pleased at the six month record that has been set so far do not going to the ER due to migraines. But it wouldn't be an adventure if it were just a "Let's keep it up and see you in six months", now, would it?
Dr. Daniel was a bit concerned about the lack of appetite. I explained that my appetite was dodgy even *before* the Topimax. I truly am making an effort to watch it. I wanted to continue to try it my way. He wanted to try Ensure. We compromised on a daily vitamin regime. (Gah. More pills.)
The only misunderstanding we seem to have had was with the Toredol. At the start of the year, he wrote me a script for 20 with on refill. During the visit, I asked if he could add 10 to it, bringing the total up to 60 instead of 40. (Heat does bad things to my head.) He seemed concerned about the increased amount and questioned me about my usage but agreed. I stopped at Rite-Aid tonight to pick them up and was rather shocked at the price increase in just a few months. Thankfully, the pharmasist signed me up for the stores prescription card that saved me about 13-15 dollars. Then I looked at the bottle and realized the doctor's concern. :) The prescription is for 60 with refills - instead of 30 with refills.
If I were a doctor, I would have been concerned about a request for a 20 to 60 pill increase, too!! And I got it, that part kinda boggles me.
