...gababentin RULES.

On the one hand, I am very glad to read it is working well for you.

On the other hand, I have read a great many scary anecdotes from people in my cancer support group(s) saying how hard it is to quit gabapentin. So when you are ready to do that, do the prep work and planning with your medical team, then taper off carefully and deliberately.

Thanks, dcp -- I had read that, too, so I'll def talk to her first about how to taper off.

Anyone have any trusted sites where you can list symptoms so you can figure out if you need to go to a walk-in clinic? I’ve been down since Tuesday with what I think is the flu, except I don’t have a fever. What I do have is a horrible chesty cough (complete with discolored phlegm), and dizziness and shortness of breath whenever I move from the couch. I am wary of using Dr. Google, and my PCP broke up with me at the end of the year.

Atropa do you have a pulse oximeter? That’s a good place to start—if it’s low def go in!

According to the one on my Apple Watch, my blood oxygen is varying between 98-96%.

Can you call an advice line through hour insurance or as part of your benefits package? This is the sort of situation those are for, if you have access.

Atropa, I know you asked for a website and not a Steph, but discolored phlegm is usually a sign of an infection, so you might need antibiotics. And combined with shortness of breath, that's worth going to a walk-in clinic.

I am always willing to take the medical advice of a Steph!

It looks like my new insurance offers 24 hour telehealth visits (for $49, have I mentioned I hate my new insurance?), so I’ll do that.

I hope they can diagnose something and get you on effective treatment soon, Atropa.

After needing to leave the faucet dripping this time last week because it was cold enough to freeze plumbing, today I’ve had the windows open all day. It’s pleasant, but weird.

I hope they can diagnose something and get you on effective treatment soon, Atropa.

Definitely!
