Physical Therapy

So since I've been diagnosed with SPS I've been in and out of physical therapy. First I was at a hospital's outpatient center. When I started it was crazy! I was pushed to to the limits. The pt and ot there at first made me cry because they wanted me to do better. So I did... I tried and tried my best, but my legs where just not responding not knowing I had what I did. Any ways I was there for a year or more which the end result ended with me walking, but it wasn't walking walking I looked like I was drunk sometimes. Whatever they got me walking right!

Finally after being diagnosed my neuro wanted me to go back, so I did to the same place but only for a while. Six months at the most I went before my doctor told me to take a break. I was fine not going because it was painful, although I had fun! The pt Chris would just make things fun while my ot would come up with the funniest thing sometimes.

Now after this last episode I've been place at a different physical therapy center. The physical therapist there is understand a bit more I'm guessing more because now they know what it is that I have and she actually looked in to it. Not just jumped in to figure our why it was that I wasn't walking. I enjoy it and hope I keep progressing because since I've been here in January I've started walking semi normal which is a big deal for me at least lol. Oh not to mention they helped me get a cool wheelchair where I can actually push myself not like the old lump of 50 pounds. lol.

Where I am today...

A lot has happened since I've wrote last... see I've came and went to the Mayo Clinic with more question and no answers. So I've decided that my journey with the Mayo Clinic is over. And now I'm losing faith with the doctors I have... See things don't seem to add up anymore, and the one person who was trying to put things together is no longer at the faculty I was in. Although we still keep in touch and is helping me get though somethings. SO as of now I got to physical therapy is three times a week and that is if they have availability since the main pt left. They try to fit me in as much as possible, and have me stay there as long as I can in order to try to get back to where I was before. Although to tell you the truth all this madness going on with the doctors and medication has just made things worst. To start off since I came back my medication dosage has dropped drastically. See before I was on: Tizandine 4mg every 2-4 hrs. Baclofen 40mg twice 4x a day Valium...
