kittytechHey everyone. Well, I just finished yet another PT session. My insurance
will only cover one more session, so after that I guess I'm on my own. OT
never actually happened yesterday, so that'll be happening this afternoon.
This morning I went to a doctor appointment where we discussed ways to
reduce the RLS symptoms. I'll be starting Requip tonight. It's interesting though.
I was told today that Requip is actually a Parkinson's Disease medication,
but it's one of those meds that has branched out into other areas. The one
bad thing that I need to be really aware of is that it could cause increased
dizziness. Then there's the nausea factor. I guess that if nothing else,
John and I will be spending lots of time together. SMILE!
In any case, it appears that things are still looking good. I don't
remember if I mentioned the last time I wrote that my walker tray had
arrived, and it's making it so much easier to get my food and other things.
It's great!
Well, I think that's about it for now. I just figured that I'd post an
update while I was waiting for OT. Catch everyone later.

Your post.
Date: 2007-08-30 10:48 pm (UTC)I'm just wondering if you were ever able to set up an appointment with an audiologst to check your ears? I have a friend wo I volunteer with who tol me that she was diagnosed with verdigo, and they had her do exercises to move around the crystals in her head. Supposedly, dizziness can be caused when crystals move out of place, so the exercises are to put them back where they are suppose to be. This is all definitely worth looking into.
By the way, did you ever figure out how to get your perscriptions yet? I hope the reference your therapist made will pay off.
Good luck!

Good luck with the on-site tomorrow.
