Welll, just call me Fido
After seeing the movement disorder doctor, she told me that my problem was tic disorder. As such, I don't need to see her anymore. However she reinforced the need for me to take both primidone and clonazepam.
Since I am regularly taking the clonezapam twice a day, I tend to sleep a lot. I also am not quite my sharp self...but since both neurologists say I need it I guess I'll comply. However it is primarily an anti anxiety med, but I am not particularly anxious. I also read that it is sometimes used as an anticonvulsant but I already take primidone as an anticonvulsant. I wonder if they think that I am having something like small seizures?
So other than my vocal cords partially closing when I exhale, my right arm sometimes doing strange things(I look like Dr. Strangelove at times), my getting very brief "head rushes" when I look down and then up quickly, and a mild balance issue, I'm doing all right. But all is not bad, my bout with asthma has settled down, and I am pain free and can think at least semi'clearly. (I would say I can't complain, but after reading my post I would have to say that I can complain very well). I guess it would be more accurate to say I'm feeling all right.
I hope that you are too.
Tom
p.s. Like Fido, my tics and I are going to take a nap.
Be well,
Tom
