We got our email this week from the NC Transportation Museum about their spring railroad excursions. Notice that "s" at the end! They are doing 2 trips this spring. Unfortunately, both of them conflict with our big spring trip that we've already got booked! Unbelievable.
In other news, I have stopped taking the carbidopa/levodopa medication early. It was causing my left leg (previously unaffected by the tremor!) to kick violently between about 9pm and 2am for hours at a time when we were trying to rest. I also did not think it was helping with the tremor that much, though it did make my handwriting big again. I am less than 48 hours off and I don't know how long it takes to clear the body, but the night time kicking has not stopped yet. I really was hoping and sure that the pills caused it and that when I stopped the pills the kicking would stop too. The left leg kicking seemed to have started within days of starting the pills and I hoped it was them and not some progression of my disease. We'll have to wait and see. Cross your fingers for me, please. I return to Dr. Carnes on March 11 and will be medication free until then. I am wondering about his Parkinson's Disease diagnosis. If I don't respond to the Parkinson's standard medications, then maybe it isn't PD?
We'll be posting here probably about our big spring trip after we return. I know it should probably have its own blog, but since the longest segment of it will be a bus trip, I think it can be categorized as a road trip. I expect to post the trip journal here later. Stay tuned.
Clay is still in India for a few more days and he may wind up having some more travel news to post online somewhere as well. Today some of his coworkers took him in a van on a road trip to Pondicherry. So, do check back.
