I thought it would be interesting to list the symptoms I’ve been having from what iappears to be PSP in contrast to the symptoms that I listed in my last post.
They are:
- Weakness on my left side. (yes)
- “Pisa syndrome” – body leans to the right when seated or standing.
- Difficulty changing position in bed. (yes)
- Drooling.(yes. a lot)
- Accumulation of mucus in my throat when lying on my back.(yes)
- Lack of dexterity when using my left hand – difficulty with typing and with buttons.(yes)
- Slowness of movement. Short steps.(yes)
- Frequent loss of balance.(yes)
- Constipation.(yes)
- Lack of energy, lethargy, fogginess.(yes)
- Tremors.(yes)
- Swallowing problems (new)
- Changing positions in bed (new)
- Eye tearing (new)
- Soft speaking (new)
All these problems have gotten worse. I have to use a walker to get around. I have to have someone help me get dressed in the morning. In addition to all of this, I have urinary problems. I had a TURP procedure a couple of months ago, and the frequency of my urination has increased dramatically. However, the good news is that Gail and I set up a desk in my apartment and I have access to my computer, which I didn’t have previously. I intend to be posting more often because of that.
I am dictating these comments, and therefore they may be a little disjointed.
