Lyrica

Hello to everyone! It has been a while since I have posted; I was reading about the wonderful things happening for some of you taking Lyrica and I wanted to consult with my physician to see if it would be something I might take. I am very sensitive to all medications and have been unable to tolerate...

I was not signed on; did so and when I tried to find the posting again, regarding Topomax so I could respond, I couldn't find it. If the person who was interested in t...

Listing Location

Hello Lake! I, too, would like to know where people are located so if they are near me, we could perhaps meet and talk one on one about OT. I have met several wonderful women and it is amazing how much it helps to be able to talk to someone who truly understands exactly what you are saying. It is so...

Harry, I, too, would like to know if you tried Neurontin before trying Lyrica. If so, did you have any adverse side effects and if so, what were they? I am very sensitive to all medications I have been given to try for my OT and have been unable to take any of them. I have not yet tried Lyrica; but ...

Newly Diagnosed with OT

Hi Theresa, I, too, was very sorry to hear of your problems. It is difficult enough to try to learn to cope with OT without having other problems thrown into the mix. You do have your hands full especially with two young children. I read, with interest, the symptoms you described and that your neuro...

Exercises and OT

Thank you for your suggestions regarding drying after a bath. I also enjoyed your comments: "My mumma and dadda gave me their bath seat to use which is an old-fashioned piece of wood that sits across the bath above the water so you sit on that and lower yourself down then, do the reverse to get...

Taking a Shower

Hi Maggie, Thanks for your suggestions. I guess my main problem is we spend our summers in the mountains of North Carolina and our baths here only have tub/showers. I find it very difficult to stand and step out of the tub in order to dry myself. I have been standing in the tub and you know how unst...

Taking a Shower

Hello to all! I was posting on another topic site and added the following: "This should probably go under another topic ~ but I will ask here; do any of you find bathing one of the MOST difficult things you do? I have a built in seat in our shower, with a "wand" type shower head, but ...

Too Little Exercise

Hi Eleanor, I had to smile :) when I read your posting ~ YES! I, too, have found I am getting a little more waist and tummy than I would like! I know it is from lack of exercise; yet there are few exercises I can do other than walking and even that is beginning to become limited and difficult for me...

OT and ET

Hello Porotin, You asked if people with OT and/or ET have problems sleeping; I can only speak for myself on this one ~ I have no problems sleeping. When I lie down in my bed, I have no tremors at all and sleep very well. Do you have problems sleeping? Perhaps your doctor didn't know you had OT until...
