Back to the basics

After trying new meds and going to a Movement Specialist, I am back to the basics. My Movement Specialist is out indefinitely, so I spoke with my Neurologist about where to go from here. He has taken me off the Gabapentin as it wasn't doing anything noticeable. So, now I am back to just the basics - Clonzapam, Vicodin, Zoloft, Ibuprofen and the botox injections. I, actually, am starting to feel a little more clear again. I felt like I was in a fog for several months.

So, we are going to keep this course for awhile and re-evaluate at the end of April.

The Feb 1st plan to exercise lasted for about 3 days. :( I was getting severe cramps in my Alkalies' tendon. It was like having a Charlie horse there. So, I quit and haven't gotten back into it. I tried walking around the neighborhood with similar results. As soon as I get rid of this cold, I'm going to try again with lots of stretching first.
