Getting the medications right for any Parkinson’s patient is a long journey requiring much patience, and trial and error, until the suitable pills along with dosage can be found. Obtaining the right balance to ultimately improve the ongoing symptoms that can be so debilitating and humiliating, is no easy task. There are benefits and side effects to most medications, and it’s a matter of swings and roundabouts whether it’s better to put up with certain unpleasant side effects in return for the desired gain. Having just added another to my ever growing cocktail of pills I take each day, I find I’m in a dilemma, for the shaking has reduced considerably, yet my body feels incredibly stiff and painful. So to take the pills or not, that is the question, whether tis nobler to bear the slings and arrows of misfortune and put up with the side effects, only time will tell.
