I know you are kidding but the reality of it is that the next two storms are being formed from texas through Chicago to us . Just another benefit of NAFTA> I love your sense of humor. Keep it up. Wetmer's are really special we appreciate all the good things in life. We don't take anything for granted. I take 3600mg of gabapentin daily.

Well Gerry, I think you guys up there in Canada are responsible for our 
snow and temperatures hovering around

5 degrees!  I'm really just kidding. ( a tiny bit )


Your post about the epilepsy drugs is a little disturbing to a lot of us 
I'm sure.  I actually take very high dose of Lamictal for seizures.  One 
good thing I guess is that I haven't had a seizure since I've been on it 
for the last 5 years....



You are so right - every day is a challenge with TM.  For me it has just 
become a way of life.  I'm tired, I nap. I burn, I lay down.  Otherwise, 
try to make the most of my days.  We do have a wonderful support system 
here.  It helps me feel "connected" - you're all very special.


Hugs to all,

Linda

  It is still snowing in Monteal; I hate it and the official winter in not

  even here yet. In the Montreal gazette this morning there was a brief 
write
  up as foll...@washington<mailto:foll...@washington>- Makers of epilepsy 
drugs must add a warning that

  the medicines carry a risk of suicidal thoughts or actions, U>S> health

  officials said yesterday. The companies also must develop a 
patient-friendly
  guide explaning risks. the food and drug administration said. Analysis 
of

  199 clinical trials of 11 anti-epileptic drugs found twice the risk of
  sudicidal behavior or thoughts with drugs compared to a placebo, the fda
  said. Epilepsy drugs include Pfizer Inc's Lyrica and Neurontin,

  (Gabapentin), GlaxoSmithKline Plc's lamictal and Johnson &Johnson's 
topamax.

  "

  maybe it is just me but as we with TM often say I feel great for the 
shape I

  am in. With our health issuses I have no time for negative thoughts or

  actions. Every day is a challenge. I don't look forward to the ever 
varying
  symtoms of Tm. I just accept them and make the best of it. This is why 
this
  sight for TMer.s is so Important. the support we receive and give to me 
is a
  support line  I can not live without Yours thoughts and comments would 
be

  appreciated: Gerry never alone in Montreal.
