Bad Day

Today has been horrible. On a pain scale of 1-10, i would put today at a 9. This is one of the worst days that I can remember. I have clonzapam and 2- 500/325 Norco's on board every 6 hours. I have been curled up in a tight ball most of the day. Keeping my muscles warm seems to help a little, but little else does. The meds take the edge off but muscles are still so tight.

I have fallen once today and almost fell getting out of the shower. Such a rough day.

2 1/2 weeks after

It's been 2 1/2 weeks after my botox for my hands. I am so frustrated by this round. It really went into the other fingers. I am all thumbs this go around. I am having a really rough time with it. Having to wear elastic shorts most of the time as I can't even button my own shorts is nice but frustrating. Trying to clean is almost impossible. Eh. How about brushing my teeth. Holy cow.

On another note...
When I went to my neurologist for my botox injections in my leg this time, he mentioned considering have restorative neurosurgery. I am just starting to research it.

Actually he was talking about cutting nerves in my legs. Peripheral Denervation is the term. Not much research out there for this procedure in the legs. Seems like most cases are for spastic tortacollis. 

  
Interesting concept but kinda scary since it's permanent.

Calf muscle pain

I got my last botox injections on April 12. Got both arms and left leg. For the 2 nd time now, i have gotten at 2 months in, these horrible calf pains for a week. My calf muscles were so rigid and tight that I struggled to even walk. It's like having calf cramps for 4 days non stop.

Updates

I am down again sick with my daughter. I am so tired of being sick. Between colds, back pain and the dystonia, I feel like I never catch a break. So, right now, I have been researching the Whole Body Cleanse. http://www.ehow.com/how_2318240_do-total-body-cleanse.html I think it's time to get the toxins out of my system and start to eat healthier again.

I have contacted a friend who works with this type of stuff hoping to find a good homemade cleanse. I want to keep it 100% natural. Crossing my fingers that this type of thing might help. It will be hard to kick the caffeine too. Might have to start easing off it now. Don't want the migraines. Hoping this will help.
