2016-08-14 – Another tweak

I had a disturbed night’s sleep and woke with plenty of tremor in my left leg.  If it doesn’t settle down, then I’m going to be giving my settings another tweak.

I’m still feeling in a better state of mind, and I’m not suffering any side effects (well, hardly any) from the increases in voltage that I have made over the last few days.  I’m almost tempted to think that I may be approaching my optimal device settings, but I’ll reserve judgment on that for a little while yet.  I do notice that, when my wife suggests going to look for some new furniture in Norwich this afternoon, I agree without feeling the sinking feeling inside that has been a feature for so long now.  I feel that I have more energy.  I climb the stairs at home at a much faster pace than I have been doing, and without relying (too much) on the staircase wall to keep me upright.  This is all positive stuff!

We go into Norwich and buy furniture for the house, and when we get back home I don’t feel so exhausted as I have been feeling.  In fact I immediately suggest that we walk the dog (and we do).   A regular reader of my blog might also have detected a significant reduction in references to self-medication.  I do still crack open the odd bottle of beer, but this is because I enjoy drinking beer, not because I require the alcohol to help me to relax my muscles.  Cannabis I use solely to ease my tremor, and haven’t felt the need to indulge on a daily basis for quite a while now.

After dinner, I decide to increase the voltage on the left hand side by another 0.05v (now 1.6v on the left, still 2.1v on the right) – take that, oh troublesome tremor!
