Chuck
Can you remember the post you put in about your falling a lot and the change you made to improve your balance. I want to move it up front so Fred/Taxi can see it. Anyone else remember it? |

....sound very much like the ones that I feel that turmeric fixed for me and which I discuss in the current thread "Turmeric and White Rats". I'm sure it is a darn sight cheaper and we can always make curry

First of all, let me say it's good to hear from you again Fred
![]() Now, down to the question. Three weeks ago, I was getting so depressed because I was falling far too often. Sometimes a bad fall, 4 or more times a week, and many times bending my cane almost to the breaking point in an attempt to hold myself up, shuffling with every step and festinating like crazy Upping my sinemet and amantadine, just didn't do it because i couldn't hack the dyskinesia. And "falling" is a horrible sensation, very dangerous too. I've fallen taking a dinner plate to the sink and embedded glass shards in my arm, I've fallen down breaking furniture, I've fallen down on my knees so many times that the pain puts me in bed or in a chair for hours, each subsequent fall being worse. I've fallen down while alone in the house, and have taken a long time to right myself and tend to my wounds, nobody in ear shot. Bruises and cuts on top of bruises and cuts. I think ya'all get the picture. ![]() ![]() Well, this being an obvious time for a med regimen change (I mean, how the h-ll else was I suppossed to get up and fill my tankard of Vodka during commercials ![]() ![]() Well, a few days after injecting at 0.4 mL, I got a big surprise (besides that one Bella ![]() ![]() I only inject two times a day. It really helps when i go into an unexpected "off"; I respond within five minutes, and now, I'm not even nauseous after an injection and no hint of the other side effect, orthostatic hypotension, that can result in syncope. It has helped me so much. This is the first agonist that iI have been able to tolerate and to me the message is clear. It is the addition of an agonist to my regimen that has helped me a lot. I'll bet that if I could have hacked Mirapex, I probably would have seen the same effect, but on the other hand , it could be unique to the apomorphine, I don't know for sure. Fred, if you have any questions, just PM me. cs |
