I had another good night of uninterrupted sleep, and woke up just before 8am with a fair amount of lower back pain (but not as bad as yesterday!). Some tremor, some dyskinesia, but overall I can’t complain. I still haven’t fiddled around with my settings following my device re-programming on Monday, but I might be tempted to do so later on today. I have more tremor on the right side than the left, for a change – although it is intermittent and not too severe. Dystonia in my right foot is also more prevalent than it has been for several weeks, so perhaps an increase in voltage on the right side would be in order…
I drink my morning cuppa and Nutriblast, walk the dog, listen to PopMaster, and think about going to North Walsham to do some food shopping (we are having friends over to dinner on Saturday evening, and I need to get the ingredients for a green Thai curry and a banoffee pie). I also need to go to Wayford Bridge and pay Bank Boats for repairing my boat.
The weather is obviously too miserable for Bank Boats to open today, and I leave without paying my bill for the second time this week. Lidl in North Walsham is absolutely packed, and I whizz round with my trolley as fast as I can – I hate crowded shops! Next stop is Sainsbury’s for a couple of things that I couldn’t get in Lidl, and then I’m homeward bound.
I receive a message from the webmaster of the Polish Medical Marijuana website when I get home. She has published an article on me about my use of cannabis to calm my Parkinson’s Disease symptoms. I have a quick look, and it looks good. I’m not quite sure what it all says, but it looks good! I post links to the article on my Instagram, Twitter and Facebook pages.
It’s approaching bedtime now, and I still haven’t adjusted my settings – I’m a little bit afraid of making my back pain worse, or increasing my dyskinesia. I’ll see how I feel tomorrow…
