Day 31

Today is the 24th day of taking a full dose of my medication.

Today marks one month since the diagnosis. I have been on the full dosage of this medication (Azilect) for over three weeks now and I am not seeing the results that I had hoped for.  I am shuffling my feet less and at times, it no longer feels like my right foot is stuck to the floor. I would describe my right arm as feeling "looser" than before. It still, however, feels awkward when using my right hand to sign my name, use the mouse or brush my teeth. When I spoke to my neurologist/movement disorder specialist last week, she said that the results would not be "too dramatic," but once again, I had hoped more. I think that I will give  the medication a few more days and then call the neurologist back. I am hoping that this is not the "new normal."

I thought that I would attach pics of the pond that I swam in last week. It was very relaxing.
