I ordered a few books on the subject from Barnes & Noble and I had to laugh when I saw the “For Dummies” title in the list. But then I thought that one would give me an overview that would point me to topics to dig into further, and I ordered it anyway. In addition to these two I also ordered Navigating Life With Parkinson’s Disease<\/em> (second edition) by Sotirios A. Parashos, MD. PhD and Rose L. Wichmann, PT.\u00a0 They came yesterday.<\/p>\n

Today starts my second week on the meds and I go to one pill three times a day. Last week was a half pill three times a day and those darn pills are a bit too crumbly. I have to be really careful when using the pill cutter on one or I’m taking a dose of pill dust. But for some reason the doctor needs me to ramp up to the correct dose over three weeks. It might be because a common side effect is nausea and they want my body to get accustomed to it gradually. I can say that so far I’ve experienced zero nausea. Which is good because that is the worst feeling ever. I’d rather have a toothache than nausea.<\/p>\n

I’m hoping to see some improvement now since I really didn’t see any on the half pill dose.

I have some work in the backyard I want to take care of so I’ll see how it goes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
