Hello again. It has been a few months but i am still kicking.

[Bailey_Texas]

Finished my new home and moved in Jan. 16th my birthday.

I am doing well. I stopped taking Gabapentin and i am doing better. I had several side effects when taking it. Balance, freezing ( i would take a nap and not be able to move at all). My wife would have to move my arms and legs to get me going. I would fall asleep without warning. Fatigue was also bad. Sex was a chore.

I stopped about 2 weeks ago and i feel 100% better.

I hope you're enjoying your new home. Glad you're still kickin'.

Found out my son stocked the pond (20 feet from my back garage door) with channel catfish 5 years ago. It is full of channel cat fish from 4 ounces to 5 pounds. And blue cat fish from 2 to 5 pounds. The blues washed down from the north neighbors pond. I fish every day. I catch maybe 20 a day and release them back.

What is Bailey s workout?

[enjoysalud]

Good for you on experimenting (cutting Gabapentin) and finding you feel better) with meds.

I'm glad you are all TOTALLY moved in to your new home. I enjoyed the photos along the way.

I've always enjoyed your attitude...."going your WAY". Cross-Fit, etc.

Glad you got the house done! That was quite the accomplishment, especially considering your health condition! Congratulations are in order!! I have freezing episodes, too, so I know how devastating they can feel, and be! Enjoy the results of all your hard work!

Nice to hear from you Bailey are you still taking your high dose of levodopa, they have just increased mine to 4 tablets of 250 mg each day.

as I am freezing constantly.

[Bailey_Texas]

yes 18 25/100 a day

[Mjm012]

Did you stop cold turkey?

[Bailey_Texas in reply to Mjm012]

yes

Bailey. If I remember correctly you were taking Gabapentin for aches in feet and hands. Why did you stop and how are you managing to cope with these pains if it was Gabapentin that was giving you some relief? Good to hear you’re still around though mate😊

[Bailey_Texas in reply to jeeves19]

The Gabapentin worked just fine. I was getting depress every day for no reason, I would get paranoid and worry about things for no reason. Gabapentin can cause this and i think it was doping it to me. When i was off of it for 2 days the depression , worring and paranoiia went away and has not returned

My feet and hands do not hurt as long as the carbidopa levodopa is working. When the carbidopa levodopa wears off my feet burn and ache.

Thanks Bailey. Hang on in there😊!
