So.... how am I doing 3 months on?
Pretty well.
I have cut down my meds to practically nothing....
From Stalvo 4 times a day
Medapar (Sinnemet) 1/4 4 times a day
Sifrol (Mirapex) 1ce a day
Symmeryl 1ce a day
Serrequel 1/2 at night
To 1/2 strengh Stalevo 3 times a day.
That's it.
I just gave up the Serrequel a few nights ago.
I took it for sleeping, but though I got my 8 hours, it gave me horrible vivid dreams and made me grind my teeth really badly.
So though I am writing this at 5am, I am happier having given it up.
I have decreased my visits to my neurologist from 2 weekly to 2 monthly; we feel we are almost there with the fine tuning.
I have no freezing any more, no toe curling and no dyskenesias, (involuntary movements.)
My hair is growing back.
So overall, all is good.
The weather is hotting up. STILL not on my bike yet; mainly because I have noone to ride with, but I hope to be on soon, and will blog then.
People have known me for my adventurous travels. 2011 sees me on a quite different journey.... My Deep Brain Stimulation or DBS Blog.
I am so glad you are doing well, as for riding a bike, I couldn't do that before PD! lol

ReplyDeleteKaryn,
ReplyDeleteRic Webster here. This post has really made my day/week/year. I'm quite encouraged by the results you've seen, and I'm happy that you have found real healing - FINALLY. If my surgery goes as well as yours I'm going to run my wife Jennifer into the ground with outdoor activities. Here's to a new life and that it sticks around.
