I found this diagram when I was searching for info about Sciatica and PD.  I think I have one or more issues with each one of these highlighted areas.  In the Central area, I definitely have Anxiety and Dizziness.  I recently posted about my eyes and how they involuntarily close  during the day and I have to force them to open in the morning.   In the Mouth category, I have a soft voice and some difficulty swallowing.  In the Skin category, I definitely have increased sweating.  In the Lungs category I have difficulty catching my breath some days.  In the Muscular category,  I definitely have weakness and aches and now I am dropping things like crazy!  Definitely in the Intestinal category, I am totally constipated daily unless I eat a banana or take a stool softener.  And in the Systemic category, I have trouble moving or walking, impaired balance, small and difficulty to read handwriting , sleepiness and insomnia, and a masked face.  I also have extreme Sciatica which is very painful and makes it difficult to exercise. But I am determined  to get back to exercising! I also hope to eventually get back to Rock Steady Boxing!
  Last night when I was at the Siva service, I saw some pf the PTs from the gym that I use to attend. The owner was also there. I told them that I was thinking of coming back to get more PT because my Sciatica is not as bad as it had been. It is also a new year so I am sure that I can get more PT sessions from my insurance. 

OMG, my Sciatica is back in full force!!!I can't believe it, I just am so upset about it. I had planned to get more PT sessions but now I am worried that exercising for the past three days is the reason that my sciatica is back in full force!  I think i should just go to the gym and walk on the treadmill after it calms down again, IF IF IF it calms down again!

WARNING ABOUT GABAPENTIN AND PREGABALIN

Image
Yesterday we went to see The Christmas Miracle at a sight and sound theater! It was amazing and we all had a nice time. Olya and her boyfriend Matt came with us, they met  us there because Olya went home with Matt on Friday.  Olivia and her "friend" Anthony also met us there.  I think they all had a nice time at the show.  We went to eat at the Waffle House after the performance! Yesterday was NOT a bad day for me with PD, but it was really bad with Sciatica.  I think my Sciatica is worse when it is cold! And it was really cold here yesterday!  I have been wearing my scarf and my gloves in the house, I have no idea whether it is PD related or not. I have a gas insert fireplace and I run it constantly so my house is usually warm, not sure why I am so so cold.          Today we went with my sister and her three adult children to see the play Buddy the Elf! It was really cute, it sort of really gets us ...

Stiff Neck

Image
        Today I woke up with a stuff neck! It is so painful that I forgot about my sciatica for a while. I took two Tylenol every few hours and maybe that is why my sciatica didn't bother me as much as it usually does.  I could feel the pain in my neck every time I moved! I didn't realize how much I move my head all day long until it was painful to do so. I got up at 7:30 because I had workers coming to clean my kitchen floor. I just can't do it any more!  They didn't get to my house until 9:30 because they are also working on my driveway and had to get filler and blacktop stuff!   I cleaned the kitchen while I waited for them. Tomorrow I just have to clean the family room and run my Roomba! My Parkinson's was definitely front and center, even with my stiff neck. I kept freezing in one spot and my  balance was way off!. It is really annoying to be cleaning a toilet and feeling  like you are going to fall into the bowl!! Yesterday I chatt...

BUSY DAY and Dealing with the PAIN

Image
        Sunday I got up and showered. It takes me about an  hour to shower. That is so annoying but it is now my Parkinson's and Sciatica controlled life! I use to be able to shower in 15 minutes and off I could go. Even when I get out of the shower, it is so difficult to dry off and get dressed!  After I finished dressing, which is such a chore, I went to Wegmans and got fruit salad for tomorrow because my daytime bereaved mom's group is having a candle lighting ceremony to honor our deceased children. All week I have prepared for this event because it takes me so long to do anything!       The candle lighting was beautiful and bittersweet.  Everyone brought something to read and had something to say. I got the Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle lighting ceremony and we read a lot of that.  All of the moms loved their children so much and when we are together we can freely talk about our deceased children.  I think we a...
