originally posted 1998/01/17 ---------------------------------------- hi siblings i'm at it again: answering a private message in the bright glow of the list fooling with or making adjustments/changes to our meds can be, at the least, a tricky business and, at worst, a dangerous one as i have posted before our symptoms, whether pd-induced or drug-induced, can manifest as physical ones or cognitive ones: a tremour a delusion rigidity obsession nausea despair mask face paranoia et cetera et cetera et cetera even tiny changes in our brain chemistry can alter the way we perceive our world sensually, emotionally, intellectually, hormonally, morally, you name it my adopted cyber-dad, don mckinley, has been one of the brightest lights on this list with one of the most generous loving spirits i've ever run into not to mention the goofiest sense of humour despite the worst spelling keyboard on the planet my dear cyber dad don i don't mean to embarass you by writing all this in public but i know your sharing nature won't mind if it helps anyone else i questioned you on your two recent responses to jim precisely because i couldn't understand what caused them and also because i found your responses to be so out of character for you in your reply to me you said: >...am on new meds after 26 years >...was not able to add 2+2 to get 4 >my babies are trying to get me back. >it seems i am getting upset over little things... and i think that may be what's been happening it's quite possible that your med changes have caused the upsets you describe and are putting a 'spin' on the way you interpret jim's words sort of like a fun house mirror at the fair but not much fun sort of like some hormone changes in me have transformed this easy-going grrl into a ferocious fiend >you know parents are not always right; >children sometimes know more. >so honey speak your mind. >do what you think is right, love dad. now that's the sweet don we have grown to care for and since you invited me to do what i think is right i did much love to you and vivian and the 'girls' sis ---------------------------------------- janet paterson 51/10 - sinemet/selegiline/prozac almonte/ontario/canada - [log in to unmask]
