A quick report to tell you compared to my last appointment with Dr. B. in February, today’s appointment was much, MUCH better. First of all it was transfered to a tele-health visit at my insistence. Secondly, it was just Dr. B. No hot shot dude with cowboy boots to be seen or who would insist on the freakishly invasive DBS proceedure.
And thank heaven I changed it to a virtual visit. We were “with” Dr. B. for about 7-8 minutes total. It would have taken about 3-4 times as long just to get there!
The meds are status quo and Dr. B. was pleased. “You have made my day,” she said.
After dealing with this for 10 years, I think I know what I am doing in taking care of my situation.
Before this appointment I saw my chiropractor for my monthly adjustment. I made sure to mention to Dr. B. how much this has been helping with the dystonia in my neck among other things… including the obnoxious constipation episodes. Dr. S. – the chiropractor – has some ammo up her sleeve should I need a but more of a “cleanse”…
I still live with this disease… and it’s obvious. But I am managing to make life work in spite of it… and that has been the goal all along.
Coming soon: More about chiropractics and some unique tools I’ve discovered to help me.

Couldn’t be happier for you. Stability of health adds a dollop of happiness to your life. Or maybe happiness adds to the stability of your health! Anyway, good news.
You do A LOT more than “managing to make life work.” You are thriving. Yes, there are bad days and bad moments. But there are really amazing and fun ones, too…and it is those that outnumber the others. And all of the moments are filled with love. And if you don’t believe me, ask Baby Red or Pea! They love their Pawther!! And I do, too! 🥰
