meds,heat, and disability

[Guest guest]

For me the heat helps and the cold makes my legs worse. Since I am from Canada

the winters are horrible for me to say the least.

Is there anyone who is on xanax and neurontin? I would be very curious to know

how much you are taking of both. As of yet the neurontin has not helped and also

wondering if when you take your 2 day holiday from xanax , so as not to be come

addicted if you take anything else for these 2 days. I was not able to sleep,

which I fear is worse than the addiction!!!!! I sleep very little to begin with,

and finding it hard to cope. I'm actually leaving the province and travelling to

B.C. to stay with family for awhile. I feel the doctors here(or at least the

ones I've come across know very little) and I am to the point where I feel like

I am ready to go over the edge, as the pain, side effects and no sleep are

getting me down.

I also am on long term disabilty job,for up to one year from my govt. job, but

my next avenue must be to apply for disability through Canada Pension, which I

hear is a torture test from...

Is there anyone in the group from Canada who has had to go through this ordeal?

My disability from work will only be approved, once I fill out the forms for the

Canada Pension Plan, with much cost associated with it. I'll tired just

thinking about it, so if there is anyone out there who knows what to expect,

could you fill me in?????

I would just like to add that I have not been in this group for long, but do

hate to see the squabbling going on, and I would hate to see Judy resign over

it.

For me I read everyones opinions, and the ones I don't agree with, I just think

" oh well, everyone is different. I feel we all contribute, but the attacks

against each other on a personal note, gets the group no where.

Sorry for the long space I've taken.
