bit desperate

February 21, 2002

Sorry for sounding a bit desperate, but I'd really appreciate any

information (especially personal experience) with Buscopan. I've taken

three doses so far, only thing I'm noticing is that I am peeing less, and

seem even less energetic (as if that is possible) then is usual.

Pharmacist said all side effects will lessen in time, but I doubt that she

or anyone I've spoken with has much MSA specific information. Nevertheless

I'll stick it our for a bit longer. I'll have to wait several weeks to get

urine testing strips so I'll have to head back to the doctor to get it

done. Temp was up a bit tonight. Just what kind of routine monitoring of

body temp does everyone do?? I never owned a thermometer until two months

ago. So far I only take my temp when my body is more out of it than usual.

Is that what you do?? I never take my BP (no equipment), the GP takes it

once in a while and has been normal (unless doing the OH thing), so I've

not bothered with it.

Got a reply from the College of Physicians and Surgeons about the complaint

against my previous GP. Now I have to reply to that. Lots of BS,

inacurate dates, takes credit for referrals he never made, mentions doctors

I have never seen. What a jackass. I'm spending way to much time dealing

with these fights that should never have to have been fought. On the other

hand it would be completely wrong to do nothing. Tomorrow I'll have to

make some calls, see if someone out there can give me a hand with all these

bureacratic nightmares. Takes a lot out of me. Would have been really

nice if the Parkinson's Foundation here would be helpful, but I'll have to

find support elsewhere.

I hope Ned will be fine, he's in my thoughts. Take care Judy.
