The doctor warned us that the one medication she takes in the morning is affected by this medication that works to reduce swelling in nerve ending. Once we lowered the dose of the morning med the problems she was having settled down and we were able to get more information
Chloe is still complaining about pain in her forehead but gets relief from pure natural muscle pain cream. She is able to describe what hurts and confirm which treatment works the best. She is able to describe symptoms more accurately . Example we went to an area that is quiet but Chloe is uncomfortable there. We got out of the car and I asked her. "Is it to bright (pointing to my eyes)"? "Does it smell (pointing to my nose)"? Or"Is it to loud ( pointing to my ears)"? After the demonstration she pointed to her nose and confirm it smelled. There is a small pond with standing water. Chloe has mold allergies so this could be the real issue.The goal is have Chloe give us accurate information is a vital part of her recovery, When the pain medication at the start worked the Neurologist questioned where all the pain is coming from. Clearing up concept confusion and keeping Chloe as pain free as possible, she can now open her mouth and relax her left shoulder which is helping to get the left arm to respond more normally then ever before.
Now that we have reached the 2 week mark this dose has decreased swelling in the nerve ending as far as this level will go. We will now challenge the left arm doing stretching over the head exercises. Before the medication over head arm movement could trigger Chloe to have a lot of pain very suddenly. This will show us if we may need to discuss with the Doctor a higher dose. We go into retail and check out other lines of work that might be interesting for her after we complete this medical treatment with the Neurologist.
