So,to catch up, week 3 went ok. Little more nausea and tiredness but I seemed to adjust by Monday. PD wise, I felt fantastic! So much energy and no stiffness. I am convinced I do NOT have placebo. I think I have meds in the morning dose & evening dose.
Started week 4 this past Wed. This was the start of the highest dose (if I don't have placebo). OMG...I am SOOO nauseaus! And so tired...I feel like I am drunk or high or something... I had my visit from Aunt Flo last Sat but it was a very odd visit. Only bled one day then spotted the rest. So, when the nausea got to be so bad on Thurs I actually stopped to get a HPT, just in case. It was negative. I am walking around with saltines & ginger ale. I definitely have the drug in the AM & PM b/c by 2pm I feel fine and stay fine until I take the PM dose at around 7pm. I am so hoping I adjust to this like I did all the other weeks. Yikes!
PD symptoms though continue to be awesome! Except for what seems to be an increase in my tremor when the meds are at their highest. But, I can deal.
I see the Dr. on June 29th. Yeah!
Toodles.
