Often when I start to feel off, slight feelings of nausia develop, along with increased tremor, rigidity and clumsiness. There is often the sensation of a tight band around my head, as if the skin is being stretched around the temples. I feel much more uncertain of my abilities, my bottom jaw can drop down a bit as well. Simple everyday tasks become a hassle. I also become irritable and tense and impatient. The worst time of day can often be early to mid afternoon, despite taking my lunchtime medication. I also experience what my doctor has called internal tremor, where I feel as if I am shaking inside my body, but this is not apparent to anyone seeing me. In contrast, the best time of day for me is first thing in the morning, even before taking my first medicine of the day. This can sometimes lead me to delay taking my medicine until later in the day. My doctor has suggested that I am experiencing "sleep benefit", which is apparent in people who have not been diagnosed very long and who are still only taking small dosages.
