Default Infections

Infections can really potentiate symptoms. Ron Hutton will probably see this and respond, but if he misses it look back at his experience with a bad tooth about six months ago. People don't usually realize it, but the toxins involved mess with us, but also the chemicals from our immune response are themselves neuroactive and further complicate things.

So I am either "on" for a very short time or dyskinetic all day. Have not taken my first dose of meds yet today so am just trembly as is normal for me when I wake up. I take requip and sinemet. I am normally troubled by dyskinesia but not too this degree. For the pain I am taking ibupropin. Whether it is tooth or ear will be determined by my dentist and Dr.

Thank you for any input,
Sunflower
