So it has been a while since I last wrote (over a month in fact).  I am up to 50 mg in the am and 50 before bed. I am getting the tingles in hands and feet which don't bother me.  I sleep just fine tho I am really tired a lot, especially in the morning.  My appetite is smaller, but I am not sure that I am eating as little as I did at the start.

My weight isn't really going down.  I am disappointed by this.  Not disappointed enough to stop taking the meds, because they have made a significant difference in my pain levels.  But you hear all these people talking about how they drop 40lbs in 2 months and I haven't even dropped 5.  well, the main reason to be on it is the pain, so I guess I can't complain.

I do have to see the doctor about one thing tho.  My lungs seem to be really sensitive.  I have been having asthma attacks.  That hasn't happened since before I was pregnant with Alison.  I am wondering if its the Topamax, which can cause respiratory failure or just that this year is supposed to be a bitch when it comes to allergies/asthma.  My lungs really bug me when I run outside, but aren't too bad when I exercise at the gym.

Guess I will have to get into a doctor and see what's what.
