More & More Blackouts

Or fainting spells. Whichever you prefer to call them.  Rassie has been off 2 of his meds for over a week now.  Soma and neurontin.  They were blaming the blackouts on the neurontin.  Maybe its just me but I think if you're coming off something the symptoms would get fewer until they were gone. Not the other way around.   Rassie has been having more and more episodes.  He has them on a daily basis now and has several instead of just one.  Last night his episode lasted a while.  After passing out and having to hold him in his wheel chair while I wheeled him to the living room, my brother and I helped him into the lounge chair where we let him sleep.  He slept until about 9:15 off and on.  And he could not remember how he got into the chair.  It has never been that severe. Usually its a blackout and once we wake him up everything is fine.   I am tired of not having answers!  Thursday Rassie goes for another neurology appointment.  I am going to push for further testing.  I found out they didn't do an MRI at the emergency room. Only labs, EKG, and CT scan. All those came back normal.  Something is going on and its getting worse!  If it is the meds then it's not the one they were suspecting.

Please Pray that we get some answers and these fainting episodes STOP.

God Bless & Good Night

Maybe they are getting worse because he is coming off of them and its running out of his system?
