Life Sucks

I’m just venting and upset with everything right now,

I’m experiencing discomfort/ pain on my non TN side. I think it’s my tooth because I have cavities in that area. The meds aren’t helping, Tylenol isn’t helping, clove oil is helping…

I usually take 200mg or less of Lamotrigine. Once I’m over 300mg, I can’t do much. My body starts going numb, and it isn’t very good. Yesterday I took 400mg and was so sick. It’s 8 pm, and I still feel just awful. At 300mg, I’m 65+% useless, and at 400mg, I can’t do anything. Going to the bathroom is something I can barely do. I honestly feel so awful, and I don’t know if there is anything to do. I cried for a second today because, I can’t understand.

I wish I didn’t have to deal with these side effects on top of TN. It makes no sense, and it’s just not right.

SN- I cut my foot or toe, and I don’t know where or how. All I know is I was sitting in the car trying to put my shoe on, and I saw blood dripping off my foot. I looked down and saw blood in between my toes, but, I was already on 300mg at the time, so my foot/leg was numb.

UPDATE - Currently sitting in a hospital bed. The numbness never went away and now I’m numb in almost my whole body. I haven’t been myself since Tuesday. My face is swollen because I got two cavities filled on Thursday. Either way, I took my meds Tuesday and I still feel off. Getting some testing done in a couple of hrs. I have MS and it seems like I’m in a flare. I just want ice cream to drown my sorrows but, I know that’s a huge NO right now.
