I remember all of the finger prints and shoulder marks I left on our walls because I honestly couldn’t balance and was too stubborn to use the cane when I needed it. I question whether one day I am going to regret not being on meds as soon as I was diagnosed, at the 3mo mark, at the 6mo mark, or some arbitrary date in the future because I still don’t feel comfortable getting on them. Most days I wake up and run through each of my body parts that have been affected by the disease (blurriness in my left eye, tremors in my right hand, a cold sensation in my left hip - to name a handful) and I make a mental note of how each thing is functioning, trying to assess this day’s performance against yesterday and the previous three. I got crazy vertigo and could no longer walk unassisted, so I ordered my first cane. 3wks before this photo was taken I had my most debilitating relapse to date.
