Here's the new scoop! Some good, some Not.

Well, just got back from seeing my internal medicine doctor.  Since nothing with the edema has changed, except it getting worse...she is scheduling me for cardiac testing to rule out something being wrong with my heart and doing another venous ultrasound, to look for blood clots in my legs again.  She took a bunch a blood to work up again today and I go back to see her on the 30th of August.  Until then, she is letting the pain specialist figure out the meds, since she doesn't think they are causing the edema anymore. Oh, and the funny one, not sure I have enough pillows in my entire house to do this, but I am to lay down for 15 minutes, 3 times a day with my feet raised to a 45 degree angle above my heart, so the blood will drain down and stop some of the swelling, hopefully.

I see the pain specialist on Monday.  She said to suggest to him that he replace the Neurontin with Lyrica. AND she wants him to increase my Cymbalta to 90mg until I can get in to see the psychiatrist for my depression and anxiety disorders.  That's it for now.  Will let you know how next week goes.
