My Last Nerve Block

So I just had my last nerve block yesterday. It was my 8th. Can't say that they have helped, but at least I tried. Good news is that both the MRI and MRA were fine. The doctor told me to stop the Zanaflex, although I have only been on it for 6 weeks. I always slept right through the night and since I strated the Zanaflex I would wake up a few time every night. I would expect to sleep even better on a muscle relaxant, but oh well.

He started me on Sibelium, calcium channel blocker (edited, I called it a beta blocker by mistake), not available in the US as far as I know. He prescribed 2.5 mg, but when I came home and checked it online I found that they only come in 5 mg capsules. So I went to the pharmacy and sure enough, no such thing as a 2.5 mg of Sibelium. I guess he changed it to 5 mg (the pharmacy just called me that the prescription was ready, but did not say anything about the dose). I would expect him to know that there is no such thing as a 2.5 mg of Sibelium. Hmm . He didn't want to prescribe 5 mg because of my very low blood pressure. The usual dose is 5-10 mg a day.

He also told me that he would like to get a second opinion from other specialist. Interesting, a doctor that wants a second opinion. He said that it would be a good idea if somebody new would look at me, maybe he would have a new fresh idea, something he is overlooking. I am really happy with his decision, I think it is a really good idea. I have to go through my history with my mom and write everything down, so I don't forget something.
