    Like your optimism, it's good to have such a positive outlook.

    Awww, Im the same, Angie. Anti inflammatories almost never work for me either, unless my legs are so bad that I have a job to get out of bed.

    Bit of an update, I have started the dopamine treatment for the dystonia "just in case I have it". I don't know if its working or not, but Ive only been on it since Friday, 125mgs a day. Second week is 2 pills of 125, third week is 3 of them. If, by that point, there is no difference, I have to contact the neurologist through his secretary and tell him. Should know something next week when the dose goes up. If it doesnt work, botox, if botox doesnt work Im not going to have baclofen, I'll just take a risk on the operation, I think.

    Anyway! Thankyou for your support, people. I hope all is well.

    Hope the dopamine starts working soon
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Update! Well, the dopamine didnt work. It made very little difference to the condition I have, and the side effects were pretty rough. So, Ive let my neurologist know, and will await the botox!

    Hope everyone is doing well, speak to y'all soon.

    I’m so sorry, lovely. Any idea on time frame for the Botox?

    Cheers, ever'body!

    Well, there has been a new twist. The neuro I was going to has now transferred me (apparently) to someone else - an MDS, or Movement Disorder Specialist. The guy I have seen is more of a peripheral nerve man. Heard from his secretary about the transfer last week, nothing since - spidey sense was tingling a bit so I got in touch with this new guy's secretary...and the transfer hasnt been made, lol. Have to wait now until monday when she speaks to the secretary of the first neurologist to find out whats going on, lol. Meanwhile, things have stagnated somewhat - can be hard to keep spirits up, but one must always try I feel. As desperate as things get, one must always cling to hope...

    Anyway! Hope everyone here is doing well, and I shall speak to you soon.

    Cheers
