> Tell the truth as you aren't doing your Moon or yourself any favors. Maybe it was the start of it? Didn't you post neck stiffness one night that resolved by morning? I myself always have to fess up or how would I really know. The doc did say the opposite. And Good luck Phillipa
Sunday morning Moon woke up saying her neck was 'stiff,; but as I think I explained in that thread, it turned out it just felt like it had a crick (is that how it's spelled?) in her neck - it wasn't 'stiff' in the way that NMS causes muscle rigidity. And it went away after she got up and got moving.
Still.. if the doctor had told me in the first place *why* she wanted to take Saphris out, we could have straightened it out right then and there. This PDoc tends, at times, to not tell you everything you need to know. I hate just being 'told' to do (or not do) something, without being given the reasoning behind it. And this PDoc knows that about me. So I think that when she told me to drop the Saphris in what seemed to be an arbitrary way, she was leaving the door open for me to do something different if my research and instincts gave me a good reason to drop the lithium and keep the saphris.
But.. I'll call her tomorrow to make my case for keeping saphris and dropping lithium, and see how it goes.
