ething that just notice recently: I have started having this vivid dreams and during the day I think of seeing things. For instance, I will see something out of place and reach out for it my hand will encounter emp encounter empty space. The cat that we cared for over the holidays and went home Saturday, in to my room last night and jumped on my dresser – no no that he usually obeys. I could almost swear I heard him purring but I knew better. A new pilll that my doctor started me on last week to treat the pain in my neck has weird side effects. I think these may be some of them, if so I will probably have to decide which is more troublesome – the pain or the dreams. I think I can live with the dreams. Perhaps it would be enjoyable – a movie in my head

I had to discontinue these pills. Rather than amusing, the hallucinations became frightening.This is one thing to have acquaintances from your church standing in your living room talking among themselves while completely ignoring you, and quite another to have strangers come into your room at night and go through your desk and jewelry box.
They were so real then I sat up in bed and spoke to them, waking Seelerman.
Once during the day I glanced around and saw someone walking up to the door. I told Seelerman 'there someone at the door'but when he looked there was no one there. I was so sure I had to go look for myself. I'm starting to wonder if I could tell my hallucinations from reality.
I talked to my pharmacist, and he agreed that I could discontinue them and let my doctor know.
I can live with the pain in my neck by taking Tylenol three,
 
I started my physiotherapy program (LSVT BIG) developed particularly for Parkinson's people. It is very demanding – four days a week, for an hour a day, with the expectation that I will repeat the exercises at home each day and on days when I don't have classes. Apparently the big movements of stretching and balancing will stimulate the brain and counteract the symptoms. It is not a cure, but it may slow down the progress of the disease.
I have to push myself to work through the program, but I have a good instructor who encourages me. Seelerman is coming with me and is doing the exercises with me which is a big help.

Seelerman has recovered from his fall. Big job cleaning the driveway and getting the car out this morning after yesterdays storm.
 
Fascinating re the hallucinations , seeler.

I wonder if that is how schizophrenia works and how real it is.

If someone as clear as you is impacted in this way, wow
 
Sorry to hear about your weird, unwanted visitors Seeler. That would be very disconcerting. Meds can be a blessing or a curse it seems.

The stuff we believe we understand and don't as a demiurge ... divine schism!
 
Good call to stop those pills. I personally hate losing control of my mind, and I suspect that is exactly what those pills made you feel like.
 
Amazing what pharmaceuticals can do to the emotional-mental complex ... yet many would keep it simple and thus the BUSS may hit ...

Misapplication of ephrine and it relatives can do strange things to the pituitary ... that few medical people appreciate without good understanding of vegetable juice relations to the animal form ...

Many determinants about absolute medicine cannot see the indeterminate side ... due to out fear of knowing alien intelligence (what we don't know in a twist of tongue) ... organic double talk as metaphorical flips?

Then having suffered such disturbance ... I could have lost something ...

Heart for dealing with absolutes ... I regress to talk to mind ... mys/mice elf as shelved ...

I have a friend who turned 89 last Friday. She's a very cool old doll, super independent, still drives. A bit more fragile than she used to be (she was quite tall, and I think that's a minor disadvantage in old age), but she goes to yoga or an exercise class or a walk at the mall every day (with a cane for protection) these days. She swears that "keep moving" is the answer.
 
Hey Seeler - hoping those hallucinations are settling down as the drug leaves your system. Sorry you went through that.

And thanks for the tip re LSVT BIG programme - I wasn't familiar with it & just watched a couple of videos - so interesting. Looks like people get positive effect from it - so "Go Seeler!" as P3 says!! I'll be really curious to hear how it affects your own movement & activities.
 
With a large pile of books stacked by one side ... one can break out in abstraction ... thus literacy of a broad type can encourage letting go ... one can see it coming!

Few read up on stuff inherent! Kind of implicit indeterminacy ... given what mortals know ... a Kahn of worms?
 
I'm glad to be able to say that the hallucinations stopped when I stopped taking the pills.
I am in the second week of the LSVT Big program. It is very intense. Lots of our action coordinated with leg and foot movements. My therapist is a pleasant young woman with a reputation of being a slave driver – she wants me to put all my effort into it. I started off enthusiastic, but soon found myself panting and sweating. The sip of water and at it again, pushing myself. She is encouraging, pleased with my progress. Other than fatigue from working hard (as opposed to the fatigue I feel when doing nothing) I feel good at the end of the hour. I pushed myself to do the exercises at home later in the day. I also remember the techniques she teaches when reaching in the cupboards for dishes, stretching and making the beds, and doing the housework. I hope to keep it up. If nothing else, it should help to talk about my muscles.
After physio this morning, Seelerman and I went shopping for groceries. He made pancakes for months while I took a short rest. A few chores and more rest this afternoon and I should be alert for book club tonight.
Oh yes, I have to do my homework this afternoon repeating this morning's exercises.
 
Oh, Seeler, I <3 your Dragon. You've had Seelerman tied to that stove making pancakes for months, have you, you slave driver!

Good luck with the exercises; hope they result in an improvement in muscle tone and strength.

Yes the Dragon can't distinguish between lunch and months. But he has made pancakes for lunch for many months now and I hope he continues for months in the future. He loves pancakes.
