No , three weeks ago i had to go to the Walton Neuroe Center in Liverpool for my six monthly visit , while in the waiting area , a nurse gave me a form to fill in with about thirty questions on , to which i knuckled down and watched the wife fill in ,and gave it back to the nurse who took it into the treatment room , ten minutes later we were called in out of turn i am sure , after all the usual tests and questions the Doctor said to me with a beaming smile ,( i had told him that my mediication was getting less and less effective ) that there was a new drug that had just finnished clinicel trials and the results were very promising , it involved a few hundred people over fourteen months , nobody had had any bad side effects only minor ones , all had at least a twenty five per cent improvment , would i be interested in joining a small group of people to carry on the tests ?,, i jumped at it , so after signing half a dozen forms i would start in a couple of days , one capsule at night before bed . The fiirst morning woke , got up , showered , dressed , made the bed , in a quarter of the time it normaly takes me ,i had NO tremors , NO shuffling , NO rooting to the spot ,NOTHING , and thats how it was for three blissful days , and now exept the tremors came back but not as bad , 50% less, the fly in the ointment is they are veryexpensve and even i may not get them after the six months , buut at the moment i am just enjoying life again .
