I'm Back!

Looking back at my last post, I realize it has been a few months since I last contributed to that phenomenon called the "blog" (and according to Google and their hit counter, only 2 other people know that :-). Just an update for now on my Parkinson's:

The Parkinson's actually got worse over the last few months. The shaking in my left hand/wrist is fairly constant all day long except when I sleep. When stressed, my left leg joins in. This week my neurologist started me on Neupro which is a "dopamine agonist" which "mimics dompamine" and hopefully will squelch my shaking. We shall see... I have just started the Rx and it will be slowly dosed up over the next 3 weeks.

More as I get back into blogging....

Great to have you back online, brother, speaking as the VP of your blog readers. I'm sure the other person agrees with me.

;-)

You know, I heard that Parkinson's is adversely affected by cold weather and non-Texas living.

It could be wrong and it could have been something I heard out of my own mouth just now, but it probably wouldn't hurt to look into it.
