Severe Pain In Hips And Upper Thigh, Fatigue, Memory Loss. Diagnosed For Bi-polar. Using Anti-seizure Medicines. Remedy?

Hello. I am a bi-polar 1. I was diagnosed eight years ago. I am now 63 years old, female. I have been presenting with severe joint pain in my hips and upper thigh. I am concerned about my anti-seizure meds contributing to this condition. Should I be concerned about lupus? I also suffer from fatigue, memory loss and vision problems.

Hi, You are a bipolar, diagnised 8 years back, You are 63 years, female. You have severe joint pains in hips and upper theigh . You also suffer from fatigue, memory loss and fatigue.
Fatigue, memory loss and and vision problems, and arthritic problems are common in this age, and can be controlled with correct medication.
You are probably tired with the medicines, so you might want to discontinue the medicines. If you want to stop those medicines also you should stop only with your doctors advise by tapering the dose for several weeks.
For pain consult orthopedic surgeon. I also advise you to avoid using tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods. Thank you.
