Well frak
So, the good news is that the meds are nice and stable and I can continue with them.
The bad news is that after talking with the MD today, it has been decided that I need to go through a test to see if my hand and wrist problems are carpal tunnel or not.
Said test means I get to have my nerves messed with, among other things. The place that does the testing (which I am hoping is actually a specialists office) will be calling me to set up an appointment for it, and once the results are in, I get to go back to my MD and have yet another talk. It was suggested by Abby that I also get checked for spinal-related problems, such as compression of the discs, because she's quite correct that disc compression can cause problems with one's hands.
If it is carpal tunnel, well, so be it.
And if it's not carpal tunnel and is actually Something Else, then I will deal with it as the information comes along.
Argh.
