My voice is deteriorating again so I decide to change my neurostimulator settings again, and select group “B” settings – adjusting the voltages to the minimum allowed (1.40 volts on the left, 2.15 volts on the right). Significant tremor on both sides (but mostly in my left leg) instantly emerges. I put up with it for a couple of hours before increasing the left hand voltage to 2.00 volts and the right hand voltage to 2.25 volts – this calms the tremor on my right side, and makes the left sided tremor more bearable.
This evening my wife and I go to her eldest son’s house in Hevingham to meet the latest addition to the family (she’s gorgeous!), and my tremor is sufficiently contained to enable me to hold her for a little while.
When we get back to Southrepps I self-medicate with Hobgoblin and cannabis, which helps with tremor control and helps me get off to sleep.
