Gloves and Tardive Dyskinesia

I bought some gloves yesterday to keep me from biting and picking at my fingers.  The only problem is I have a touchscreen phone and can't use it with the gloves on.  I've looked into touchscreen gloves but they are like $40 a pair. Guess for now I'll have to take the gloves off and on to use my phone.  It's better than picking and chewing on my fingers all the time.

I have been having this twitching/jerking movement in my arm and leg since I started the Saphris.  I thought it was part of the akathisia but the akathisia is gone now.  I called my pdoc's office and they called back to get some details before talking to the doc.  I never heard back.  I'm pretty pissed because I'm worried it will become permanent.  I'm thinking they're going to take me off the Saphris and start something else.  I'm not overly thrilled about the idea of changing my meds again for like the 6th time in a month.  But tardive dyskinesia is not something you mess with.

I'm going to go see a neurologist today about my migraine medicine.  With being on Depakote (which is supposed to help with headaches) I don't think I need my Propanolol which is my migraine prevention medicine right now.  I also can't handle the Imitrex injections anymore for when I do get a migraine so I need to talk to them about that.  I don't want to have to go to the hospital if I have a migraine.  I also hope that I can have them refer me to a closer neurologist because it's a three hour drive to see them.  I would have just went to see someone else but I could get into my old neurologists office more quickly.  I originally made the appointment about the neuropathic pain.  Now that it's better I'll just deal with the other stuff.

Going to this neurologist also gives me a reason to see family because they are on the way to the appointment.  I'm having lunch with my brother.  He hasn't been doing well depression wise for awhile.  I don't really have the money for the trip and lunch but I don't have much choice.  I also need to get some melatonin for these nights when I wake up at 1 AM and can't go back to sleep.  It seems to be that I can sleep every other night.
