Question:

Anybody else feel like a Guenna pig with doctors giving so many medications?

My face twitches, my arm and fingers twitch and shake, things are going numb, and all I get are more meds. I feel like the medications are causing these things! But if I go off my meds, I probably will be denied social security. I feel invaded and controlled by all these meds and am worried about long-term effects. Most are not working anyway.

Answers:

I would reason a guess that most of these adverse symptoms are coming from the treatment of your cancer. You should speak up your concerns to your doctor. Maybe speak with your pharmacy about potential adverse reactions with your meds.

I am not a doc by any means, but a possible reason for all your twitches could possibly be dehydration or a lack of potassium. See if drinking lots of water and eating things like bananas help that. The docs can also tell if this is the case through blood work.

Most importantly though, find out the reason for each med, and that the doc is aware of each med you are on. And seek a second opinion.
