Weekly check up

So was made it to my physical therapy this morning knowing that right afterwards I had my check up with nurse practitioner, but when I got there they decided it would be best to see her before that way she could see how the new medication was affecting me if it was. Either way we went she decided to start me back on tizanadine every 2 hours, occupational therapy, aquatic therapy, and message therapy. HA there is only so much that can be done in three day I guess we are going to have to find a way to stay either longer or figure out a way to make it all the things I've got to do.

Now I've got to see her every week for a check up until my doctor appointment with my neuro. YAY! Well not really if you didn't catch my sarcasm... I've got this crazy idea that maybe I need a break. I need to spend a lot of time on my homework and studies, and staying in San Antonio doing all these things keeps me away from all of it. I constantly have to explain to my teachers why my assignments are late or why I can't take a certain test and a certain time. I mean I shouldn't be new to me I've done it for years but this time till things settle I think it's best if I take things slow.

Honestly I really don't know what it is I should do. I am excited though to go back to occupational therapy with my otIt should be fun lol. If anyone knows me better it's her well and my pt.

SOOOOO next week starts with:

Monday - Pt with the pt tech. at 3:00pm

Tuesday - Ot with the ot lol at 7:30am (really do they no understand I'm not a morning person)

Pt with the pt tech again at 9:00am

Treatment at the hospital

Wednesday - Weekly check up with the nurse practitioner

Pt again with the pt tech at 9:00 am (again with the morning thing)

YAY for weekly schedules... by the way when I'm done with that I've got six assignments due! And two test waiting for me! Oh geez I should have realized this was going to happen.

    Vanessa,

    I was diagnosed with SPS last year (I just turn 31) and I came across your blog. I wonder how you are doing now? You no longer write on your blog and I can tell you my experience with SPS if you are still looking for answers (well, you might know more than me but I'm very determined to figure out the best course of action and I know my case is probably very different than yours).

      Yeah I've kinda been distracted with stuff that has come up. I have new Doctors, New Disorders, and just in gerneral New Problems. I mean I still have Stiff Person Syndrome I've just had other things going on as well which had put me on hold from writing, but don't worry I'm back in fact I've starting writing a book don't get to excited I mean I'm a 24 year old and it's mostly what you've read and with the help of a friend I've been able to get down two chapters. Not much but it's something. And it's also something else if it even gets finished or published.

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...

Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy... Check!

Now comes the topic of PT and OT from before... This all happened in 2011 to 2012... Yes I was no longer at physical therapy in Dr. G. clinic because it was only for her patients, but once a week I attend what was called Wellness kinda like gym membership at Dr. G. clinic and get therapy from them in order to use the off weighted device I did that till I could. So off I went back to where I was before at Out Patient Rehab for Baptist Hospital. I was going to PT and OT at the out patient clinic from the hospital where they made things fun and I was able to joke around with them, but still get my work done till I couldn't and I'll tell you why in a minute. For now I'll tell you what I was doing I was getting better slowly, not a big difference from the last place because this place didn't have the off weighted device. Let me clarify something before I go on at Dr. G's clinic the Physical therapist there was amazing I can't complain. She and her staff made my...
