I spend much of today sitting on my backside surfing the ‘net, educating myself as much as possible about the clinical trials for exenatide, the type 2 diabetes drug that showed promise in arresting the progression of Parkinson’s Disease symptoms. I want to know all of the pros and cons before I talk to my consultant about it and, hopefully, persuade her to tell my doctor that it could be “worth a try” (my doctor told me yesterday that he would be happy to prescribe it to me if my consultant were to write those words to him).
Of course the usual time was taken to take the dog for her two walks, I caught up with the news by reading The Metro online while I drank my morning cuppas, and the world stops for PopMaster at 10.30am… I also made time to split a few logs, fill the log basket and light the fire before my wife arrived home from work.
We go over to my wife’s parents house in Worstead this evening – it’s my wife’s mother’s birthday today, so we take her her card and present.
My jaw is still aching away, but today (for no particular reason that I can think of) the tremor in my left leg has been competing for attention. Hopefully it will calm down again by tomorrow, otherwise I’ll be considering an adjustment to my neurostimulator.
