As myy trip down medicine lane for mismanaged and misdiagnosed lifelong conditions it's about damn time. Enough with extreme amplifiction of pharmaceuticals and over-medicating to which I wobbly stand as a reminder iatrogenic disease is no fucking joke. aeon.co/ideas/how-gentle-med…

It took from 1996 when I first started showing Parkinson’s symptoms until July 5, 2013 to diagnosed me with Parkinson’s. Prior to that I was misdiagnosed six times. My first experience was with my PCP who said my tremor was just nerves and not to worry about it.

You and I are Veterans of a terrible and different kind of warfare. I've had to take Klonipin for tremors and absence seizures and it is the ONLY pharmaceutical I take regularly for any reason. I have ridiculously high tolerance for sedative medications, but most do not. :(

One doctor gave me a medication that turns into a narcotic your bloodstream. I can’t remember the name of it. All I remember is trying it for three days and I couldn’t get used to it. When I walked down our short hallway I would hit both sides the hallway.

Tramadol, or in some countries maybe Tapentadol. They are both narcotics with opiod features. Mixed with other drugs, potentially deadly and dangerous for those with tremors/seizures - falls, etc. Thank heavens you stopped! Was Clonazepam in the mix too? How awful for you :(

Clonazepam was from a different doctor.
