Mirapex you are an ugly drug aren’t you?
Of course for an ugly disease like Parkinson’s I guess the ugly drugs are in order but still ….
The balancing act continues. I hate how this drug affects my husband’s personality and yet … and yet … it seems to help him so much. After the dosage is adjusted in any way or form we go back through the personality changes.
Sometimes he’s distant. Sometimes he’s secretive. Often he’s moody. Mostly – for the first few weeks to a month – he’s just not my husband.
He’s this strange man who lives in my home and for whom I will eventually need to provide care. This distant sullen stranger. Then again he’s distant and sullen without it due to the pain and spasms. Which to choose? What choice in truth?
I try hard to remind myself he’s the same person to whom I joyfully promised ‘in sickness and in health’ not quite 5 years ago.
Some days I try very hard indeed.
