For nearly four months now I have been struggling with at times excruciating pain in my left leg predominantly and at times in my left. I have been on a cocktail of drugs for the whole period and nothing really put a dent in the pain. Apparently, the source of the pain is in myContinue reading “The good and the not so good of medications”

It takes two…
Thought I would start with something different today! Yes, it takes two or three or more, whatever you have available to you. The point of this is that it will be a rarity that anyone is completely alone in this journey. Even if you don’t have a partner, or children or siblings there will beContinue reading “It takes two…”
Life is full of challenges…
I have always been someone who has had a lot of health challenges in their life. From minor to major and everything in between, I seem to have more than my fair share at times. Of course, the main health condition – and the one that spawned this Blog – is Parkinson’s. But there areContinue reading “Life is full of challenges…”
It would be easy to give up!
Since the beginning of August I have had permanent pain caused by my back. The pain, however, is primarily in my left leg. At the beginning and for some time, I would have described the pain as excruciating. It has had some improvement but has only really improved to the extremely painful status at timesContinue reading “It would be easy to give up!”
The visit from the medical alarm rep…
Well, I am now finding myself on the other side of a conversation and that is interesting. I hear what people are saying to me and hear the echo of my own voice in what they are saying. Today we were visited by the rep from one of the alarm companies who I worked withContinue reading “The visit from the medical alarm rep…”
Pain is a difficult thing to describe
For what seems like forever, I have had significant pain originating from my back but felt mostly with pain down both legs but predominantly my left leg. I cannot stand beyond what seems like seconds, but maybe in reality is about two minutes. As someone who has a lot of pain in their life, thisContinue reading “Pain is a difficult thing to describe”
My knickers have shrunk in the wash…
A strange thing has been happening in my household of late. Somehow, all my knickers have shrunk in the wash. Stranger still, my jeans and my tops and my shirts all seem to have done the same. Surely, there cannot be any other reason why virtually all my clothes no longer seem to fit me?Continue reading “My knickers have shrunk in the wash…”
My body is challenging me…
As if having Parkinson’s wasn’t enough, I have problems with my spine and legs. I spent a night in hospital because of the pain I have been experiencing. It feels like it came on suddenly and is a difficult thing to try and remember when it first started. It feels really unfair right now thatContinue reading “My body is challenging me…”
Focussing on my deficits…
Anyone that really knows me, knows that I have had a number of health challenges over the years. With those health challenges, they are largely things that won’t go away. Most of them involve pain. Arthritis, bursitis, hernia, Parkinson’s and probably more as well. The only way I have managed over the years with theContinue reading “Focussing on my deficits…”
A word with my GP
As a follow-up from a previous post about my lack of contact with my Neurologist, I thought I would make a comment and update where I am now. So, my husband and I went to the Doctor yesterday, so I could talk to him about a number of things which may be Parkies related andContinue reading “A word with my GP”
