If it’s not one problem, it’s another… right folks? So I have the blood pressure business back to normal: today was 122/80.

However… since I woke up on Sunday, I’ve had achiness/dull pain in my back where my kidneys are. I took 2 Tylenol yesterday to see if it went away, but that didn’t seem to do anything.  My system is obviously in shock right now, with tapering off the Topamax, having just had a 9-day course of Prednisone, had a few days trial of the blood pressure med that made me go too low, still on Cymbalta and Provigil daily… I did read last night that some people have had kidney stones while on Topamax, but it would be pretty weird for that to happen to me now that I’m getting RID of the Topamax.

The pharmacist who was taking my blood pressure said that if the pain gets worse, definitely go to the ER. Certainly a good idea. I had such a crappy night of sleep last night and I think it’s because I just couldn’t get comfortable in bed with feeling the dull pain in those areas.  UGH.  I’m seeing my primary care doc on Thursday now, too.
