Thanks for the info on neuropsyco. (& Charles M. md re mellirile)

[davidmeigs <davidmeigs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you all for the info.  I can see where a neurophycologist may be a
good step.  After writing my earlier email, I called my doctor and talked to
the nurse about the referral.

My doctor, (bless him) has made a referral to a movement disorder specialist
in the big city (Seattle).   Now its in the hands of my insurance company.

I can relate to some of you that have had to go from doctor to doctor before
P diagnosis.  I went through that with getting my son's diagnosis with
autism.  At 4 1/2 yrs old it was obvious to everyone! (except the doctors at
group health).

Charlie, you asked about the mellirill (I can't spell) dosage I was on.  I
can't remember.   That was 27 years ago.   I was having problems centering
around my parents divorce.   I was on it for about 6 months while in a
juvenile lockup facility.  My dad sent me to a psychiatrist after I got out
because my acting out.

The psychiatrist put me back on melliril but at a  much too strong of a
dose.  All the muscles in my body became rigid (tongue too).   That was the
last time I have taken it.  All I really remember was being curled up in a
tight ball, drooling because of the tongue sticking out my mouth and the
pain of my muscles. I was like that for about 24 hrs.

I only brought it up to my neuro because I had previously told him that I
had no allergies to medications, and had not taken tranquilizers before as
an adult.  It was his response that didn't fit.  He came a few inches off
his chair.  That's the only reason I brought it up to the list on my first
post to this list after joining.

God Bless ya all!
