Hi...can anyone tell me what is likely going on here? A problem which has
been going on now for many, many months has gotton much worse on occasion
recently.
I need practice in describing it and feedback from my list cyber-family in
preparation for contacting my MDS tomorrow.
I first noticed internal rigidity in my throat at nite upon going to bed. It
usually was/is relieved by morning. Adjustments I made were to sleep with my
head and torso raised. I think my MDS increased my Elavil in response to my
report of this symptom. On a few nites it was so painful that I got up and
played Solitaire games on my computer.
Recently (about last two weeks), I have started having incidences during the
day whereby I feel my throat start to constrict, as it did yesterdauy
afternoon and to a lesser degree around 11:15 a.m. today. I find it quite
alarming. I think in most of these daytime incidences, it occurs after my
usual dose of meds while they are kicking in. But I have audible breathing
at other times as well. (perhaps before I take meds) Also, I have had
incidents of worse dyskinesias.
The med schedule I have been following for some time is as follows:
6:30 am arise
7:00 1 xanax (0.25 mg)
7:30 1 mirapex (0.25)
8 2 Sinemets (25/100)
1 Tasmar (100 mg)
11 to 12:30 2 mirapex
11 to 1 2 sinemets
4-5 1 xanax
5 to 6 2 mirapexs
5:30 to 6:30 2 sinemets
1 Tasmar
10 pm 3 Elavils 25 mg
I look forward to your input and/or questions. Thanks.
Regards,
Barb B-K
