Unicycle and a piece of chalk

[Stevenmast]

Am I in ketosis? Is my B1 dosage the right amount? Should I add the Mannitol back into to my protocol? Oh shit I ran out of magnesium! Is my jaw shaking? Toes curling? Shuffle here bounce there? Mentally clear? Confident? Journal this Journal that! Ugh can I enjoy a cup of coffee without mucuna today? Have my symptoms progressed since last year? Blah blah blah! I decided to go for a ride! I keep my unicycle by my front door of my house probably because it doesn't fit in my stuffed garage! Today 24 hours since my last dose of mucuna I bravely decided to give it a spin. I can hear my neighbors saying what the hell is Steven doing riding a unicycle in the cold! What's wrong with him? Jackass! No helmet? I'm happy to report after a couple of rough starts I exceeded last year's Distance by 50 ft for a total of 150 feet! Doesn't sound like a lot but it is when you're up there! All the science in the world isn't better then me my shity unicycle and the piece of chalk! For all those who this might apply, take a deep breath! Live a little and never give up!!! P.S. Definitely wear your helmet! LOL Steven

I can see a unicycle being excellent therapy, however, I'm more likely to land a 747 then ride a unicycle.

Too funny!

This definitely gets overwhelming and feel like I'm on a hamster wheel, hurrying to go nowhere, just the same circle of read, research, think as bout it, try to connect the dots, refigure the dosages, add something to the regimen, etc, etc.

One thing I read was to do something challenging, emotionally if not physically, or both. Unicycle definitely fits that. I recently attended a heavy metal concert. Definitely a challenge for my age group, it was amazing, so glad I went, I've also gotten tattooed. Have to think of the next challenge, although my challenge lately has been trying to keep it together. Anyone else?

Sounds more like midlife crisis! LOL have you jumped out of a plane yet?

[Rosenmu in reply to Stevenmast]

No, NO WAY! Lol, oldlife crisis, yes, crazy, no. Not yet anyway.

I loved your post. I went on a short unicycle ride in mind when I read it! The sentiment is not lost on me. Once I got past the grieving stage after I got my diagnosis, I’ve almost felt the most free. What the hell, live a little! Cheers!

Impressive! I couldn’t ride a uni cycle when I was 20 let alone now. That’s got to be good for PD!!

Yes it is! It requires core and balance two things pwp lose. It's actually quite exhausting
