Dear Jim, et al,

Now my hat don't fit... How are we going to solve that one? :-)

I'm scheduled for another MRI today, this one will focus on my right
hip which has formed an unexplained lump.

The most worry-some side-effect is neuropathy along my left side.
Neuropathy is a fancy name for ANY kind of pain or unusual behavior.
In this case it means my left arm & hand have 'gone to sleep.' I'm
unable to grasp things with my left hand. AND I CAN'T TYPE. I'm
doing okay now but the tingling will become worse as the day wears on
until my left hand becomes disabled.

The problem here is that neuropathy resulting from a drug interaction
or side-effect is often PERMANENT. The physician has discontinued the
drugs that are the most likely candidates for causing this particular
side-effect but it will take several days for my system to flush-out
the remnants. My worry here is that if the effect proves permanent, I
may not be able to type. I'll just have to wait and see.

There are ways to deal with that problem, such as chording keyboards.
Helped a friend of mine who lost one side to a stroke.

But worry about that when it's definite. Sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof, and all that.
