I am just hoping to be a bit more resistant to my poor self care. <\/p>\n<p>I walked just under a mile today, if my watch is to be believed, and for the most part felt fine. It&#8217;s now early evening I&#8217;m noticing my body slow down and become rigid. So, I check the time and my pill pot to see if I missed a dose. I&#8217;m not due for another hour or so but I have missed a dose. So unsurprisingly I&#8217;m now paying for my carelessness; walking too much without taking my med&#8217;s. <\/p>\n<p>So here I am, slowly typing this out wondering if \/ when the next symptom will show itself; cramp in my leg. As it is already sore I guess I should take some med&#8217;s before it turns into cramp.<\/p>\n<p>My life is still my own. I should remember to take my med&#8217;s and not over do it but I am hoping the DBS may take the edge off. It is quite a clever bit of kit &#8211; reading how my body is and telling it more or less. Which will definitely help when I&#8217;m back at work and not knowing what to expect.<\/p>\n<p>Will I ever learn to take my med&#8217;s on time? We will find out.<\/p>\n<p><em>Update<\/em> Just to reassure you, I am fine. While writing this I have taken some med&#8217;s and my movement is returning.
