I am really beginning to freak out
regarding spasticity thing I'm going through. It's been more than a
week now and I really haven't seen a whole lot of progress with the
spasticity issues. True, I began taking the medication as prescribed
on the ball. I was taking the about half that much of the baclofen
and I must admit I think taking the prescribed dosage has been more
productive than I would've imagined. It took less than the prescribed
amount because I didn't want to get totally addicted to baclofen or
the muscle relaxant or whatever it is. I wanted to give the
prescribed dosage a shot before I ran to my healthcare provider like
chicken Little with my head in my hands screaming the sky was
falling. I think to some degree I am begins sleep through the night
better. However bear in mind when I started taking the prescribed
back he found I was also on an antibiotic or UTI. The regimen has run
its course now Don scared to death that I'm just going to come
inundated with another UTI. Just have it be hypervigilant and I hate
being hypervigilant. So I'm really not sleeping all that good and I
think is beginning to wear on Dianne plus all the other stuff I'm
scared her to death. I just don't know what to do she does not know
what to do we do not know except now I guess it's time to make an
appointment with my healthcare provider cross my fingers and hope for
the best.
Some of the things I can explore which
might assist with the spasms might be one going back and getting to
physical therapy. Some rail physical therapy where the action
stretcher. It's some of the postings I've read on the Internet
regarding spasticity has indicated a good stretching the greatly
assist in downplaying the spasms it has been a number of decades
since I had any real physical therapy and like I said I'm at a point
where anything is worth a shot. Also, I may seriously have to look at
getting some sort of assistance i.e. people to come in and assist
with either bathing, dressing and who knows what else to get by. You
know it's not that I don't know about this kind of stuff, it's not
like I have not recommended this exact same solution to many others
over the years. I just am having trouble looking into the same stuff
for me. Maybe it's time though even the bathing aspect once a week
would be great.
I've also developed some sort of
information in the muscle tissue up by left side up in the shoulder.
I think this pain has manifested itself from the fact that I use this
left side so much in my transfers and my repositioning myself all
through the day when I'm in my manual chair. I think I've insult of
that side just one too many times and is now letting me know. I'm
addressing the issue with ibuprofen which seems to get me by but I've
noticed it is really taking a long time to get dressed.
Now need to get top my sleep situation
if I could do that I think I'll be getting close to where I was at
before I start having issues with my personal independence. You know
it's scaring me to death
