Day 172 No Sinemet

MY MEDS

I continue taking the following at appx 8:00 am and 8:00 pm:

1) Motrin 400mg One in the a.m. and one in the evening
2) Flexeril 10mg one half in the a.m. and one half in the evening
3) Cogentin 1mg 1 in the am and 1 in the evening

As I have said in the past there are no ups and downs with this regimen. I have stated quite emotionally in the past in this post that I wasn't sure if the swap-off (no Sinemet with certain symptoms versus Sinemet with other certain symptoms) was worth it. I sense that I will continue to vacillate positions as the days come and go. As for now, I will continue this experiment.

Current symptoms:

Feet
Swollen
Discolored
achey
Cold
Difficulty Walking

Slight Tremor Right Arm
Weakness, Fatigue
Freezing Of the Feet, Right Foot a Bit More Than the Left
Apathy Apathy Apathy!

There seems to be a lot happening with my feet, Tingley and always cold. I continue to have all kinds of problems: limp and unresponsive muscles making it difficult to turn over in bed, get in the car, rise from a chair, etc., More loss of balance and difficulty walking, increased tremor of my right arm and hand, and generally a loss of fine motor skills requiring help to dress etc.---

BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS I AM STABILIZED, AT LEAST FOR NOW. mY PLAN IS TO CONTINUE.
