compazine is a drug that is anti pd one dose
made my symptons terrible for two weeks before reversing common
knowledge doctors guilty mal -practice giving husband that on every
listof not be given if you have pd
My husband, Bob, (age 49) diagnosed
eight years ago, had a Pallidotomy (rt. brain) 1997, has been on a steady
decline sine his DBS STN (rt. brain also) in January, 2000. He is
now in Hospice at home.
Aside from the fact that he can hardly
move anything, he is in terrible pain... in his calves, thighs, feet, back,
neck and arms. He has difficulty swallowing his pills so I give them in
applesauce.
He is currently taking:
MS Contin 15 mg every 12
hours
Compazine 10 mg
Roxicet 5/325 every 4
hours as needed
Valium 5 mg, twice a
day
Artane 5 mg, 3 x a
day
Paxil once a day
Seroquel 25 mg. 2 at
bed
Senecot 2 in morning, 2 at
bed
Quinine 325 mg
2 at bed
Dalmane 15 mg. 2 at
bet
-2 reg 25/100
Sinemet
-3 CR 25/100 Sinemet
- the above at various times throughout
the day.
Obviously the pain meds are not working
as he is in such tremendous pain, I must constantly pick him up (200 lbs) and
move him to a different position, usually to the wheelchair, sofa and back to
the hospital bed again, we do this over and over all day and all night
long. If we are lucky he sleeps 3 straight hours, usually 1 - 2 hours
and again wakes up from the muscle cramps.
Needless to say this is an extremely
difficult time (I feel especially sad for our 15 yr. old daughter who is
living is this horrible ordeal). The doctors are puzzled by Bob's pain -
they do not know why he is in such pain therefore they are reluctant to
prescribe any stronger pain meds, so yesterday they added the Valium. To
me and Bob last night his cramps seemed to be worse than before the
Valium.
If anyone has any ideas or thoughts we
would appreciate it.
