I finally realized the likely reason for my wearing off and increase in symptoms this week. Two weeks ago was the week that my aunt Susan was dying. And stress for me shows up on about a two-week delay. So there it is. And I feel better already. I need to give myself a little leeway and try to flow with the stress instead of remaining tense and stressed.
When I am experiencing wearing off, I have this funny feeling that if I could just move enough, my meds would kick in. It is odd to try to describe, but that is why I can be found walking up and down the hall in the middle of the day at work. Moving feels good although doing it is difficult. Guess that is why they call it movement disorder.
Pass this blog to a friend. Keep me accountable and motivatd! This morning I did a35-minute power walk and some PWR! Moves. Yesterday I did treadmill and moves I the early morning, exercise class midday, and a hike in the afternoon. Ad I feel good!

Hi Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteI have actually read your blog before and much of what you say is so relevant. I have to admit that it took me quite a while to figure out how to comment as I am a non-native and computer use is sometimes very foreign.
When you wrote of wanting to move but it being difficult rings true for me. I try to walk 3-4 miles a day and when I do not I feel more symptomatic,contracting muscles, etc.
Good to hear I am not alone.
Chris
Thank you also for the input on the pole tips. I actually got a great link to poles from Becky via Sharon.
