Update about my gambling problem.

About my recent bout with gambling. I am doing good. I stopped the Ropinirole and i have hardly thought about gambling. I have bought 2 lotto tickets in the last couple of weeks. My wife was with me when i bought them so I was not sneaking around to buy them which is an improvement. I don't have access to any money of any kind.

I don't mind not having access to money it is just something i don't have to worry about.

Just one day at a time.

I am doing well with my meds. I am taking 1 50/200 er C/L and 3 25/100 c/l every 4 hours. I am trying different combinations of the two meds to see if I can improve my on time. When my meds do not last as long as they normally do i have a lot of pain. The pain is in my arms,legs , feet, and hands. Also my legs get heavy and i have problems walking. This happens a couple times a day and can last for a hour or more. The pain is a 9 of a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being unbearable. When my meds are working i have no signs of PD.

Thanks for all the words of encouragement.

That's great news. We've been thinking about you and wondering how you're going. Sad about the pain though. Hope this can get sorted.

Hi Bailey,

Glad to hear you are doing better. I remember you had good results for pain in your feet with gabapentin, I believe you were only taking one per day. I am taking 4 every day to relive my pain and wondered if you might ask your doctor about increasing your dose to see if it might help the pain you are experiencing now. Good luck to you.

I had to stop taking gabapentin. I started to experience dyskinesia every day. It would last a hour or so most times but it did last for a couple of hours 3 or 4 times. I did know what was causing the dyskinesia. The gabapentin was the last thing i added to daily routine so i stopped taking it and away went the dyskinesia. I will update better in the future.

Slots are a real fraud and it is best not to waste time and money on this nonsense. I tried to play slots and the probability that you can actually win at least 50 bucks is very low so it’s better not to risk it. If you also like gambling like me, then I can advise you score88poker.bid/mobile.php. This is just an awesome online casino where you can play poker and make money. By the way, a mobile application has recently appeared there, and there is simply an offiogenic interface. I play poker very often and I can earn great money!
