2017-04-04 – Just taking it easy.

We had an early night last night, and I slept really well so you would think that I would feel refreshed this morning.  I still have aching legs (self inflicted – I knew I was overdoing it when we were walking around Amsterdam on Sunday afternoon) and I still feel exhausted from the lack of sleep on Saturday night.  I guess that it’ll be another couple of days before I start feeling “normal” again, so I’m just taking it easy today.

Tremor seems to have calmed down (a little) since yesterday, and many of my other symptoms are also less troublesome than they have been – dyskinesia and dystonia are well under wraps, my balance is less bad, my walking is (slightly) less stilted, and my voice isn’t quite so weak and strangled.  Muscular weakness and rigidity are still troublesome, but no worse (or better) than usual.

I walk the dog (twice), and that’s about it as far as physical exercise is concerned.  The rest of my day is spent sitting on the sofa in the lounge, laptop on lap, responding to emails and messages on social media, and putting together an expense claim to email to Vice.com for taxis, additional baggage charges etc., from the weekend.   I also find myself fighting off sleep again – this time there is no cannabis involved, so I can’t blame that.  I feel another early night coming on…
