Martha Rohrer Hello, It is good to hear from someone who knows where I am. I really do live in Humbldt County and it really is in California. I understand what you mean about the parks, I have traveled all across the country and to Europe. No matter where I go I always come back to the northcoast and the trees. I have found that I cannot live without redwood trees, wild rivers, mountains and the ocean within an hour or so. I guess I am lucky that I have all of this and more just within our small area. Yes, Dr. Krenek is in Eureka, he is with Humboldt Neurology with offices in both Eureka and Arcata. I guess the main thing I like about Dr. Krenek is that he is honest, straight to the point, and never evades questions. If he has an answer he gives it to me, and if he doesn't he tells me where to find it. Meanwhile, he will be finding it also. My tremor and leg problems are all on the right side, and sometimes I feel lopsided. But worst of all is my right knee. I injured it years ago playing volleyball. Two surgeries later I have no cartiledge and a weakned anterior ligament. When the leg spasms started it was so uncomfortable. Then, it felt as muscles were pulling in different directions and pulling my weakened knee apart. I asked Dr. Krenek about this and at first he said I might be having an orthopedic problem. Then I told him about the toe curling, and he changed his tone. He then perscribed the clonazepam. Dr. Krenek has been so good to me. He has explained what each medication does, how it is normally taken, and then told me what to watch for. He has given me minimums and maximums and asked me to keep in close touch with him. I then decide, depending upon my symptoms when to take what. This makes me feel more in control of something overwhich I cannot possibly have any control. Martha I look forward to talking again with you over the net, or in person. By all means give your friend my number and address. If he should like to call me, I would be happy to talk with him. There is a group in Eureka which meets once a month. Since I am 70 miles away and do not often have a vehicle, I do not go to them meetings, but they send me copies of their newsletter.
